Tweed Coast Property Market Update 1st Half 2026
Tweed Coast offers breathtaking beaches, verdant rainforests, and a laid-back lifestyle, making it a wonderful place to live. With a welcoming community and plenty of outdoor pursuits, it’s easy to enjoy the perfect mix of peace and excitement.
Property Trends
In Q4 2025, Tweed Coast had a median house price of $1,700,000 and a median unit price of $1,090,000. This is an annual (Q4 2024 – Q4 2025) growth of 1.8% for houses and 18.2% for units. This suggests that now is an ideal time for owners to capitalize on their investments. Comparing Q4 2024 and Q4 2025, total sales surged by 50.0% (to 120 sales) for houses and 98.8% (to 159 sales) for units. There is a highly demanded and competitive market, particularly units, which has attracted more buyers due to their relatively lower price to houses. As a blue-chip coastal suburb with a limited number of new housing supply planned over the next two years, buyers must act fast.
Project Development
Tweed Coast will see approximately $481.5M of new projects commencing construction in 2026 and 2027. Despite several residential projects scheduled for construction in the Tweed Coast in 2026 and 2027, these projects will only add 21 units or apartments in total. Compared to Q4 2025 sales of 159 units, this is not enough. Further, with very little new stand-alone housing in the pipeline, the potential for a market undersupply is high. Therefore, this is expected to drive up prices higher, across all property types.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Tweed Coast were 4.5% as of December 2025, higher than Tweed Shire (3.5%) and Gold Coast Main (3.5%). This is paired with a 4.3% growth in median house rental price over the past 12 months to Q4 2025, at $1,200 per week. In this time there was a -4.7% decline in the number of houses rented (to 41 houses in Q4 2025). This indicates an undersupplied house rental market in Tweed Coast, suggesting there is still room for investors to enter the market.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Tweed Coast recorded a vacancy rate of 1.6% in December 2025, above the Tweed Shire average of 1.1% and Gold Coast Main’s 1.3%. Vacancy rates have increased in the past 12 months, due to investors returning to the market. However, a 1.6% vacancy rate is still well below the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating quicker occupancy of rental homes in Tweed Coast. This suggests there is a conducive environment for investors, even with higher median house and unit sale prices (thus, entry prices) in the past 12 months to Q4 2025.
