Welcome
BUYER DEMAND, AUCTION MOMENTUM AND INTEREST TAILWINDS
The April to June 2025 quarter delivered strong signs of renewed momentum across the Sunshine Coast property market, with buyer engagement, auction success and favourable lending conditions, all contributing to a more competitive landscape.
Across the Ray White Coastal Living Network, buyer inspections surged to 9,044 across 2,584 open homes - our highest inspection volume in over a year. Auction campaigns generated the lion’s share of this activity, with 5,603 inspections linked directly to auction properties. This translated into 105 auctions conducted with an exceptional 83% success rate, supported by 3.56 average registered bidders and a 3.75% uplift from the highest pre-auction offers. Days on market for auction properties also shortened to just 28 days.
These results were buoyed by two interest rate reductions by the Reserve Bank of Australia, bringing the cash rate down to 3.85%. These cuts enhanced borrowing capacity by lowering serviceability thresholds and drew more buyers back into the market, particularly first-home buyers and local upgraders.
Locally, 63% of buyers originated from the Sunshine Coast, with a further 20% from Brisbane. Interstate interest remained steady, led by New South Wales (4%) and Victoria (2%), reflecting continued demand for coastal living.
Looking ahead, we now enter the traditionally strongest period of the real estate calendar - Spring. Our Coastal Living group will again host our signature Spring Auction Event at Mercedes-Benz Sunshine Coast, showcasing one of the largest line-ups of properties all year.
If you’re planning a move on the Sunshine Coast, Sunday, September 21 is a date to mark in your calendar. For more information about The Auction Event 2025, please contact one of our offices or visit coastallivingnetwork.com.au.
