A main commercial project 33-45 Stadium Drive Build-to-rent Paloma House, which will construct a buildto-rent comprising 418 x 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments, including 310 build-to-rent & 108short-stay apartments.
Other housing projects include:
• 5 & 13Robina Town Centre Drive (14 townhouses & 163apartments)
• Lakesview Robina (48 townhouses)
• 1 Glades Drive (23 townhouses)
• 34Bourton Road (18 units)
While several projects are planned in Robina, they primarily consist of new units/apartments and townhouses. AT present, there are no ready-to-sell stand-alone houses planned in the 2025pipeline.
This absence of new houses can spur an undersupply. This makes it highly likely that property prices continue to rise, notjust forhouses but other property types too.
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.
Average vendor discounts between Q4 2023and Q4 2024 have tightened to -0.3% for houses and -0.6% for units. Market conditions in Robina* still favour buyers, with sellers accepting below the first list prices. Although the market saw houses and units selling for a premium in early 2024, this has shifted towards a discount. This trend is unlikely to last long due to limited new housing supply, thus buyers must act fast.
