Tweed Heads Property Market Update 2nd Half 2025

Property Trends
In Q2 2025, Tweed (Tweed Shire Local Council) recorded a median house price of $1,200,000 and a median unit price of $810,000. This is an annual (Q2 2024 – Q2 2025) growth of 10.6% for houses and 4.9% for units. Thus, now is an ideal time for homeowners to capitalize on their investments. Comparing Q2 2024 and Q2 2025, sales increased by 4.1% (to 251 sales in Q2 2025) for houses but fell by -23.6% (to 288 sales in Q2 2025) for units, highlighting an undersupply for units. Combined with a highly demanded house market it has created a buffer against higher interest rates and benefitted from the latest cash rate cuts. With limited new housing supply in 2025, buyers should act fast.
Project Development
Tweed will see approx. $381.4M of new projects commencing construction in 2025. There are many residential projects planned in the Tweed Shire, including: 41 townhouses, 357 units, 11 dwellings, and 30 land lots. This will add new stock but compared to Q2 2025 sales (251 house sales and 288-unit sales) this is not enough, especially for houses. Thus, supply will remain insufficient, pushing up prices further, for all property types.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yield in Tweed Heads (postcode 2485) was 3.8% as of June 2025, slightly higher than Tweed Shire (3.6%) but on par with Gold Coast Main (3.8%). This is paired with a 20.0% growth in median house rental price in the past 12 months to Q2 2025, at $900 per week. At the same time, the number of houses rented declined significantly, by -44.8% (to 16 houses in Q2 2025). This indicates a clear undersupplied house rental market, in need of more investors to enter the market.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Tweed Heads (postcode 2485) recorded a vacancy rate of 0.7% in June 2025, lower than the Tweed Shire average of 1.2% and Gold Coast Main’s average of 1.7%. Vacancy rates have decreased in the past 12 months, indicating an even tighter the market. Furthermore, a 0.7% vacancy rate is significantly below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, thus a quicker occupancy of rental homes in Tweed. This creates an ideal environment for investors, even with median house and unit (thus entry) prices having risen over the past 12 months to Q2 2025.
