Tweed Market Update 2nd Half 2025
In Q2 2025, Tweed* recorded a median house price of $1,200,000and a median unit price of $810,000.This represents an annual (Q2 2024– Q2 2025)growth of 10.6% for houses and 4.9% for units. This suggests that now is an ideal time for homeowners to transact and capitalize ontheir investments. Comparing Q2 2024and Q22025, total sales increased by 4.1% (to 251sales in Q2 2025)for houses but fell by -23.6% (to 288sales in Q2 2025)for units, highlighting a clear undersupply in the unit market. Combined with a highly demanded house market it has created a buffer against higher interest rates and benefitted from the latest cash rate cuts. With limited supply in the 2025pipeline, buyers should act fast.

Average vendor discounts between Q2 2024and Q2 2025 have swung from a premium to a discount of -4.5% for houses, indicating a transition from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market. For units, the discount remained steady at -2.4%; which creates a stable market for first home buyers and an opportunity in a rising price market. The Tweed* market still favour buyers now, as the final sales price is till below the initial listing prices. Thus,buyers must actfast.

RENTAL GROWTH 2025€
House rental yield in Tweed¥ was 3.8%as of June 2025, slightly higher than Tweed Shire (3.6%) but onpar with Gold Coast Main (3.8%). This is paired with a 20.0%growth in median house rental price in the past 12months to Q2 2025,at $900per week. During this same time, the number of houses rented declined significantly, by -44.8% (to 16 houses). This indicates a clear undersupplied house rental market, in need for more investors to enter the market.
2-bedroom houses have provided investors with a significant +25.0%rental growth annually, achieving a median rent of $700per week.
Tweed¥ recorded a vacancy rate of 0.7% in June 2025, lower than the Tweed Shire average of 1.2%and Gold Coast Main’s average of 1.7%. Vacancy rates have decreased in the past 12 months, indicating an even tighter the market. Furthermore, a 0.7% vacancy rate is significantly below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, thus a quicker occupancy of rental homes in Tweed¥. This creates an ideal environment for investors, even with house and unit (thus entry) prices having risen over the past 12months to Q2 2025.
