Momentous growth across the Gold Coast’s southern seaside suburbs over the past two years has given the market momentum as we move through the first half of 2022.

Ongoing demand is being driven by the extension of the Gold Coast Light Rail route, larger lot sizes, and highly sought-after ocean views to be found on and near the coastline.

The Urban Developer listing Tugun as one of the fastest growing Gold Coast suburbs following a house price rise of 25% over the last year.

Tallebudgera recorded a growth of 24.9% to reach a median of $1,405,000, whilst Burleigh Heads recorded growth of 17.9% with a median of $1,309,000, according to REA Group.

Coolangatta performed exceptionally well, achieving impressive year-on-year growth of 49.2%. State government data released in April also bodes well for Palm Beach, with land values along the Gold Coast Light Rail route having risen by 75% in the past two years.

Although the frenzied buyer activity that characterised much of 2021 has calmed down, recent sales indicate that price growth remains steady.

The auction of a prime mixed-use site at 782 Pacific Parade, Currumbin offers a good indication of buyer demand, with a strategic marketing campaign attracting more than 130 enquiries and seven registered bidders.

The 405m2 beachfront allotment with excellent upside potential sold under the hammer for $5,110,000.
