The Maroubra market is highly demanded, however as often with the case in blue-chip suburbs, higher interest rates and economic conditions can impact price offers. This creates a unique opportunity for buyers, as it is not often the market is slightly more affordable. A market recovery is very possible, due to the low number of new stock. Thus, now is an ideal time to transact.
Project Development
Maroubra will see approximately $624.7M of new projects commencing construction in 2025. A main state government infrastructure project is the Port Botany Rail Terminal Expansion ($400.0M), which will improve efficiency and allow for greater transportation of goods to and from Port Botany. There are approx. 132 units/apartments, 4 townhouses and 54 dwellings planned, however an undersupply is still highly likely which will stimulate a price recovery in the market.

House rental yields in Maroubra was 2.1% as of September 2025, below the Randwick LGA (2.6%) and Sydney Metro (2.7%). That said, median house rental price increased by 9.7% in the past 12 months to Q3 2025, at $1600 per week. At the same time the number of houses rented declined, by -22.2% (to 193 houses) in Q3 2025; suggesting an undersupply.
