Property Trends
In Q4 2024, Tweed Coast recorded a median house price of $1,650,000 and a median unit price of $867,500. This is an annual (Q4 2023 - Q4 2024) 14.2% growth for house prices, while unit price declined by -3.6%. Comparing Q4 2023 and Q4 2024, house sales declined by -12.4% (to 85 sales in Q4 2024). This suggests an undersupplied house market, which created a buffer against higher interest rates. Now is the time for house owners to capitalise on their investments. Conversely, total unit sales increased by 9.1% (to 84 sales in Q4 2024). A softer unit median price is an opportunity for buyers, but with limited new stock planned, time is of the essence.
Project Development
Tweed Coast will see approximately $417.2M of new projects commencing construction in 2025. Although there are several residential projects planned in Tweed Coast, it will add mostly units (75 units), with only a few new stand-alone dwellings (13 dwellings). This will not be enough to answer demand, which will push up property prices further; for all property types (not just houses).
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Tweed Coast was 3.5% as of December 2024, slightly higher than Gold Coast Main (3.4%). This is paired with a 23.1% growth in median house rental price over the past 12 months to Q4 2024, at $1,200 per week. At the same time, the number of houses rented declined, by -8.7% (to 42 houses in Q4 2024). This indicates that there is an undersupplied house rental market in Tweed Coast which suggests there is still room for investors to enter the market.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Tweed Coast recorded a vacancy rate of 1.4% in December 2024, above the Tweed Shire average of 1.0% and Gold Coast Main’s average of 1.1%. Vacancy rates have increased in the past 12 months, due to investors returning to the market. However, a 1.4% vacancy rate is still well below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating a quicker occupancy of rental properties in Tweed Coast market. This creates a sustainable environment for investors, especially with a more affordable unit sales price in the past 12 months to Q4 2024.
