Casino Market Update 1st Half 2026

In Q4 2025, Casino* recorded a median house price of $477,000and a median unit price of $345,000.This is an annual (Q4 2024- Q4 2025) price growth of 2.0% for houses, alongside a 29.1% increase in the number of houses sold (to 71sales in Q4 2025). This indicates strong demand for houses, thus an ideal time for owners tocapitalise on their investment. Median unit price did slightly soften in the past 12months, by -9.8%.But the unit market is small; with only 11unit sales in Q4 2025. Units are now slightly more affordable, creating an attractive market forbuyers. That said, with limited new ready-to-sell stock planned, buyers must act fast.

The main mixed-use project is Casino Biohub, which will feature a bioenergy facility capable of processing up to 903,000tonnes per annum of organic waste using anaerobic digestion technology. This will stimulate the local economy through job creation, which can attract more people to the area.

Key residential projects include:

• Hare & Lennox Streets Residential Subdivision (46 Lots)

• 7-9 Callistemon Street (9 Dwellings)

Two residential projects are planned in Casino, adding only a limited number of dwellings (9 houses). Compared to Q4 202571 house sales, this will not be enough to answer demand. Further, there are no townhouses in the 2026 pipeline. This will putmore pressure on a highly-demanded housing market, driving up property prices further.

AVERAGE VENDOR DISCOUNT*

Average vendor discount reflects the average percentage difference between the first list price and final sold price. A lower percentage difference (closer to 0.0%) suggests that buyers are willing to purchase close to the first asking price of a property.

$600,000

Average vendor discounts between Q4 2024 and Q4 2025 have tightened to-3.2% for houses but widened to -5.6% for units. Market conditions in Casino* still favour buyers, with sellers willing to accept below the first listed price. Q4 2025 saw the tightest average vendor discount for houses in the past 24 months, indicating a shift towards sellers. On the other hand, units are at a peak discount level in Q4 2025,creating an opportunity for first home buyers.

The suburb of Casino has provided a more affordable market for houses and units than the wider Richmond Valley Local Government Area (LGA) over the past 5 years. This continues in 2025,with the LGA’s median unit price now higher than the Casino suburb’s median house price. This confirms Casino as a more affordable entry point.

Most of the homes sold in Casino* in 2025 were in the middle-price bracket of $400,000to $499,999for houses (34.7%) and of $300,000to$399,999 for units (50.0%). There is an ideal opportunity forfirst-home buyers. The premium price brackets is strong, with 20.9% of houses sold above $600,000and 9.4% of units sold above $500,000.There is a home for every budget in Casino*.

RENTAL GROWTH 2025€

House rental yield in Casino¥ was 3.6%as of December 2025,higher than the New South Wales North Coast (3.4%) and Sydney Metro (2.6%) average. This is paired with a 20.8% surge in the median house rental price growth in the past 12months to Q4 2025,at $580per week, along with a growth of 11.5%in the number of houses rented (to 29 houses in Q4 2025). This indicates a highly-demanded house rental market in Casino¥, thus still room for more investors.

3- bedroom houses have provided investors with +13.7% rental growth annually, achieving a median rent of $580per week.

Casino¥ recorded a vacancy rate of 0.5% in December 2025, below the New South Wales North Coast’s average of 0.9% and Sydney Metro’s 1.8%.
