There has been a spike in popularity for Gold Coast real estate throughout the last year, causing the property market’s strongest growth since the 1980s.

Throughout 2021 the Gold Coast’s population has expanded rapidly along with that of the rest of Queensland. Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics for the year ending 31 March 2021 show that interstate migration was at an all-time high, with Queensland recording a 43,933 net increase in population, around 70 percent of this growth attributed to those relocating from other states.

The popularity of Queensland as a whole has also risen from a surge in investors looking to take advantage of the continuous growth potential. According to the 2021 Annual Property Investor Sentiment Survey from PIPA, almost 60 percent of investors now ranked Queensland as the best place in Australia to invest, with strong predictions that the prices will only continue to rise in the coming years with the reopening of international borders and 2032 Olympic Games as the market driving force.
