Ray White Malan & Co becomes Gold Coast's most innovative real estate group with its strategic expansion.
Ray White Malan & Co
Now Spans from Paradise Point to Palm Beach
L to R: Michael Andrews, Larry Malan & Tiger Malan
Ray White Malan & Co has cemented its position as the Gold Coast's most innovative real estate group after expanding to include Ray White Runaway Bay and Paradise Point.
Ray White Malan & Co now operates four offices from Paradise Point to Palm Beach with a combined staff of 150 people who manage more than 1,100 transactions a year for their clients.
In addition to the expanded business footprint, corporate lieutenant Michael Andrews has become the CEO and partner of Ray White Malan & Co across all businesses, with the responsibility to drive growth and innovation.
Ray White Queensland CEO Jason Andrew said the expansion represents a significant milestone for the Gold Coast network.
“This is a transformational moment for Ray White on the Gold Coast. Ray White Malan & Co has demonstrated exceptional leadership and vision in creating the region's most innovative and comprehensive real estate service offering,” Mr Andrew said.
“This group is setting new benchmarks for innovation, service delivery and market coverage. This expansion strengthens our position as the Gold Coast’s most forwardthinking real estate brand representing the very best in the market.”
Central to the expansion is a new leadership structure, with Michael Andrews appointed as CEO, tasked with driving continued growth and market development through innovative practices.
“Each office will have its own team leader who acts as captain of their location, while I oversee the strategic direction and innovation initiatives across all four offices,” Mr Andrews said.
Tiger Malan continues his involvement across the group with a recruitment focus.
Mr Andrews identified significant market opportunities in the northern Gold Coast corridor.
“Runaway Bay and Paradise Point represent substantial growth potential in areas that have historically experienced less development than the central markets,” he said.
“This expansion provides our customers with a wider buyer pool and creates exceptional opportunities for interstate migration clients. Our cutting-edge technology solutions and competitive advantages position us perfectly to capitalise on this growth through innovative service delivery.”
Ray White Malan & Co founder Larry Malan, who established his first Ray White office at Broadbeach in 2011, said the group’s success reflects innovation and entrepreneurial thinking within the Ray White business model.
“When local expertise combines with national infrastructure and leading-edge technology, the results speak for themselves. Ray White Malan & Co exemplifies how entrepreneurial leadership and innovative thinking within our network creates outstanding outcomes for customers and communities,” he said.
The expanded group officially launched yesterday when all four offices came together for an event featuring a panel discussion with industry leaders and to launch its big January auctions.

MAYOR’S
It’s time to ‘get ready’ Gold Coast as weather conditions across the south-east region start to intensify.
Planning for summer storms and natural disasters is vital as we enter the hotter months.
Residents and businesses know the risks with ex tropical cyclone Alfred heavily impacting the city last March.
The damage from that event was felt across the Gold Coast with damage to private property, beaches, parks, power supply networks and marine infrastructure.
Being ‘storm ready’ is important for you and your family and council has a handy online support tool to assist.
Key to being ready is having an up-todate home emergency kit. When preparing your kit, think about how you would survive if you lost access to drinking water, power, the internet and other services for a minimum of three days.
Essential items for your emergency kit:
• First-aid supplies: Beyond a basic kit, include specific medications, bandages, and first-aid manuals.
• Power and communication: Battery radio, spare batteries, torch, portable charger.
• Food and water: Ensure you have enough for at least 3 days. Consider dietary restrictions and allergies.
PUBLISHER
ADV Collab www.advcollab.com.au
• Copies of important documents: IDs, insurance policies, medical records, and financial information, etc.
• Warmth and comfort: Blankets, warm clothing, sleeping bags, and a portable camping stove.
• Hygiene supplies: Soap, hand sanitiser, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, wet wipes.
• Tools and supplies: Multi-tool, duct tape, work gloves, basic tools for repairs.
Store your items in a waterproof container somewhere handy and let the rest of your family know where your kit is.

At Ray White Malan + Co we love to see our team delivering exceptional results!
Kirah-Lee was amazing. From start to finish i always felt she had my best interest as her priority. I never felt pressured. She had the answers to all my questions but was also there for support when I needed.She is an amazing young lady and the sole reason I chose Ray White over so many other agents who wanted my property. I believe she is an invaluable asset to Ray Whites business.
Kevin
Kim Black and Michelle Adams were the managers for my newly purchased property. They were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. They handled the tenant’s end of lease and move-out with care and professionalism, making sure everything was coordinated smoothly. Their communication was excellent, and they went above and beyond to ensure both the tenants and I were happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—I look forward to working with them again when I re-lease the property!
Zoe
We were very fortunate to purchase our home with McCalla Henry. She is kind, warm, and professional, with good knowledge of the local area and market. Throughout the buying process she consistently responded quickly and helpfully. We’re grateful for her support and highly recommend her to both buyers and sellers.
Carrie
We couldn't be happier!! Augusta was amazing! She is very professional, as well as helpful and knowledgeable about all things real estate. I was completely confident she would get the best price possible for our house and she proved that to be correct. Her communication was very clear and she kept us in the loop at all times. I'd highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their house, especially in the high end market.
Jonathon
We couldn’t be more pleased with Geoff’s service! He was an exceptional agent who went above and beyond to help us sell our property; AND helped us buy our second property in the process! Everything was seamless. We highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling. Even with a full roster of clients, he always made us feel like his number one priority. His communication was consistent, clear, and daily. Thank you, Geoff, for your commitment and support— an outstanding agent through and through!
Melanie
Selina has been excellent to work with. She is highly professional, reliable, and always communicates clearly. Her attention to detail and commitment made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would not hesitate to recommend Selina to anyone looking for quality real estate service.

Marketing Report by Larry Malan
Hi Everyone,
If you thought 2025 was going to quieten down — think again. Between Trump’s trade tantrums, China’s property wobbles, and our own Reserve Bank tiptoeing around another rate decision, the world has once again proven that the only constant in real estate is uncertainty.
But while the headlines bounce around like a beach ball in a southerly, the Gold Coast continues to do what it does best — grow steadily, attractively, and irresistibly. Let’s take a look at what’s been happening from July through to the end of September.
Market Overview
The Gold Coast market has remained resilient through another turbulent quarter.
• Median House Price: Approximately $1.22 million, up around 2.4% for the quarter and 10% year-on-year.
• Median Apartment Price: Around $785,000, rising 1.8% this quarter and roughly 7% over the year.
• Vacancy Rate: Still incredibly tight at 1.0%, confirming that demand for rentals continues to far outweigh supply.
• Rental Yields: Averaging 4.3% for houses and 5.1% for apartments, well above Brisbane’s city averages.
While much of the country is seeing patchy results, the Gold Coast remains one of the most consistent performers in Australia. The appeal of coastal living, combined with a stable jobs market and ongoing infrastructure projects, continues to keep the market buoyant.
Supply Constraints
This has become the recurring theme of the year — and nothing has changed in Q3.
• New Developments: Construction costs remain painfully high, and apartment project delays are now the norm rather than the exception.
Several major developments along Broadbeach and Palm Beach are now pushed well into 2026 or later.
• Apartment Pipeline: The Gold Coast is still on track for an 80% decline in new apartment completions between now and 2027, from roughly 1,900 units in 2025 down to only 400–500 in 2027.
• Land Scarcity: Vacant land opportunities are virtually gone in the central coastal strip. What remains inland (think Maudsland, Reedy Creek, Pimpama) is being snapped up faster than builders can quote.
In short: supply is not keeping pace — and that’s keeping prices firm.
Demand Drivers
Even with cost-of-living pressures, buyer demand on the Coast hasn’t eased off much — it’s just become more strategic.
• Interstate Migration: The Gold Coast remains a top destination for relocations out of Sydney and Melbourne. Over 250,000 people have made the move from NSW alone over the past decade, and that flow continues, albeit at a steadier pace.
• Lifestyle Magnetism: Working from home remains the unsung hero of Gold Coast property. Buyers want balance, space, and sun — and this city offers all three.
• Infrastructure Growth: The Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 and M1 upgrade projects continue to add confidence, particularly around Mermaid Beach, Burleigh Heads and Palm Beach. Improved connectivity equals sustained value.
• Investors Returning: The yield differential between the Coast and Brisbane is drawing investors back in. With low vacancy rates and rising rents, returns are outperforming capital city averages.
Suburb Highlights
• Palm Beach: Median house price now sitting around $1.52 million, up 6.8% for the year. Units remain hot property, with strong off-plan interest.
• Burleigh Heads: Consistent performer — house median around $1.72 million, up roughly 4% this quarter.
• Upper Coomera: Affordable growth corridor. Median house price now $935,000, with steady 13% annual growth and the highest number of transactions on the Coast again this quarter.
• Pimpama & Coomera: Both suburbs continue to attract first-home buyers and investors, with 18–20% growth over the past two years.
• Robina & Varsity Lakes: Family buyers are driving competition, particularly for renovated homes close to schools and amenities.
Rental Market
If there’s a headline story for 2025, this is it.
• Vacancy rates across the Coast remain below 1.2%, one of the lowest in the country.
• Weekly rents are up around 7% year-onyear, and tenants are applying within hours of listings going live.
• New investors are returning — cautiously — but there’s a structural shortfall that won’t be fixed anytime soon.
In plain English: the rental crisis isn’t easing, and this is reinforcing investor confidence.
Outlook
As we move into the final quarter of 2025, the market looks firm but not frenzied. There’s still heat in the right suburbs, but buyers are becoming more discerning.
Unless there’s a major policy shock or global event, I expect the Coast to continue its steady 2–3% quarterly gains through to the end of the year. And with new supply still choked off, prices aren’t likely to fall in the foreseeable future.
It’s simple economics — strong demand + short supply = stable prices.
Final Thoughts
While the rest of the country debates whether the market is “up” or “down,” the Gold Coast seems to have opted out of that conversation entirely.
It just keeps rolling along — powered by sunshine, scarcity, and good old-fashioned lifestyle appeal.
If you’re thinking of selling, now is an ideal time to capitalise before the Christmas lull. And if you’re buying, focus on quality, not bargains — because quality on the Coast rarely stays a bargain for long.
Until next quarter, Larry

A Message from Megan Gray, Founder & Travel Designer
At Luxury Island Travel, I understand that your time is precious – and so are the moments you create while exploring the world. As a boutique travel advisor, I don’t just book holidays; I curate meaningful escapes tailored to your pace, your passions, and your personal definition of luxury.
Whether you’re seeking a European summer in Italy, Greece, or France; a safari in Africa; a luxury cruise; or a barefoot escape to Fiji, the Maldives, Cook Islands, or Tahiti – your journey begins with a conversation.
I take the time to understand your travel style, preferences, and what truly matters to you. Then, working closely with my global network of partners, I deliver exclusive experiences, VIP amenities and upgrades, and preferred rates you simply won’t find online.
From private villas and cultural immersions to iconic city stays and indulgent wellness retreats, every itinerary is designed with care, creativity, and firsthand knowledge of the destinations I recommend.
But my favourite part? Hearing about your adventure when you return – that moment when you say, “That was the best holiday ever!”
