🏡 Gold Coast Property Market Snapshot — June 2025
Prepared by Adam Rizzo | Gold Coast Property Centre

The Gold Coast property market remains one of Australia’s standout performers in 2025, with a combination of strong buyer demand, limited supply, and continued migration creating ideal conditions for growth.

⸻

📊 Current Market Overview
• Median House Price: $1.17 million
• Median Unit Price: $675,000
• Annual Price Growth Forecast: 10–13%
• Rental Vacancy Rate: 1.3% (very tight market)
• Rental Yields: ~4.1% for houses | ~5.3% for units

With house and unit prices trending upward, the Gold Coast is now ranked as the second most expensive property market in Australia, just behind Sydney. Continued population growth, lifestyle appeal, and a healthy jobs market are driving sustained demand across the Coast.

⸻

🚧 What’s Driving the Market
• Supply Shortage: Ongoing housing undersupply—only ~6,500 homes delivered annually when far more are needed.
• Construction Challenges: Rising building costs and workforce shortages are delaying or cancelling up to 60% of planned unit developments.
• Low Vacancy & High Demand: Strong rental competition is keeping yields solid and investor interest high.

⸻

🏛️ Government Support for Buyers
• Boost to Buy Scheme: Eligible buyers can purchase new homes with just a 2% deposit, with up to 30% equity support from the government.
• First Homeowner Grant: Temporarily increased to $30,000.
• Stamp Duty Relief: First-home buyers purchasing new builds or vacant land may benefit from major reductions or full exemptions.

These incentives are helping drive first-home buyer activity and may ease some affordability pressures in the months ahead.

🔎 Outlook

With a strong rental market, limited stock, and robust infrastructure investment, the Gold Coast continues to represent long-term opportunity for both owner-occupiers and investors. I’m seeing particularly high interest in lifestyle suburbs, dual-income properties, and new developments with short-term rental potential.
