Property Trends
In 2025 (up to 30th June 2025), Kingscliff (which in this report encapsulates sales and rentals in Kingscliff suburb only) had a median house price of $1,920,000, and a median unit price of $928,000. Compared to 2024, this is a median price softening of -4.6% for houses and a relatively steady price for units. In the past 12 months sales have declined, by -17.6% for houses (to 89 sales in 2025) and -20.7% for units (to 119 sales in 2025). A softening in median house price is not uncommon for blue chip suburbs, especially due to higher interest rates. This is an opportunity for buyers. Further, 46.7% of houses sold in 2024/25 (up to 30th June 2025) were in the most affordable price bracket of less than $1,800,000. Conversely, 41.0% of units sold were in the premium price point of $1,000,000 and above; thus, an opportunity for owners wishing to capitalise on their investment.
Project Development
Kingscliff will see approximately $49.4M of new projects commencing construction in 2025. Most of the residential projects planned in Kingscliff are units/apartment with 39 units being added to available stock. There is only a few new stand-alone townhouses and dwellings (9 townhouses and 7 dwellings) commencing in 2025. This will not be enough to answer demand, especially when compared to 89 house sales in 2025. This will push up property prices even further; for all property types (not just houses).
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Kingscliff were 3.8% in June 2025, above Tweed Shire LGA (3.5%). This is further supported with a 12.8% increase in median house rental price in the past 12 months to Q2 2025, to $1,100 per week. During this time, the number of houses rented remained steady (at 28 houses in Q2 2025), which suggests there is high demand for rental properties. This is beneficial for investors, especially with current lower pricing.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Vacancy rates in Kingscliff were 1.9% in June 2025, higher than Tweed Shire LGA (1.5%) and Gold Coast Metro (1.7%). That said this is lower than 1yr (2.6%) and 2yrs ago (2.9%), suggesting a tighter rental demand and quicker occupancy of rental properties. A 1.9% vacancy rate is well below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating a quicker occupancy of rental properties in Kingscliff.
