Tweed Coast Property Market Update 2nd 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 Q2 2026, Tweed Coast had a median house price of $1,667,500 and a median unit price of $1,077,500. This represents an annual (Q2 2025 – Q2 2026) growth of 8.2% for houses and 8.8% for units. Thus, now remain an ideal time for owners to capitalise on their investments. Comparing Q2 2025 and Q2 2026, total sales declined by -32.6% for houses (to 64 sales) but increased by 9.8% for units (to 101 sales). Overall, this confirms an undersupplied house market and a highly demanded unit market, which created a buffer against cash rate hikes and supported price growth. As a blue-chip coastal suburb with limited new supply planned over the next 2 years, buyers must act fast.
Project Development
Tweed Coast will see approximately $432.2M of new projects commencing construction in 2026 and 2027. While several residential projects scheduled in 2026 and 2027, most of these projects will only deliver units or apartments (37 in total). Compared to Q2 2026 sales of 101 units, this is not enough. Further, with very little new stand-alone houses (7 dwellings) planned in the pipeline, the ongoing undersupply is expected to worsen. As a result, this will drive up median prices higher, across all property types.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yield in Tweed Coast was 4.1% as of June 2026, slightly higher than Tweed Shire (4.0%) and Gold Coast Main (3.9%). This is paired with a 18.2% growth in median house rental price over the past 12 months to Q2 2026, at $1,300 per week; along with a 5.1% increase in the number of houses rented (to 41 houses in Q2 2026). This indicates a highly demanded and competitive house rental market in Tweed Coast, one that is in need of more investors.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Tweed Coast recorded a vacancy rate of 2.3% in June 2026, above the Tweed Shire average of 1.6% and Gold Coast Main’s 2.2%. Vacancy rates in the past 12 months have increased slightly, due to investors re-entering the market. However, a 2.3% vacancy rate is still below the 3.0% benchmark, indicating quicker occupancy of rental homes in Tweed Coast. This suggests a conducive environment for investors, even with higher house and unit sale prices (thus, entry prices) in the past 12 months to Q2 2026.
