Robina Property Market Update 1st Half 2025
Robina offers a vibrant community with shopping, dining, and entertainment options, centred around the Robina Town Centre. Its scenic parks, easy access to schools, and proximity to Gold Coast beaches make it an ideal place for families and professionals.
Property Trends
In Q4 2024, Robina recorded a median house price of $1,295,000 and a median unit price of $808,750. This represents an annual (Q4 2023 - Q4 2024) growth of 3.6% for houses and 9.7% for units. Comparing Q4 2023 and Q4 2024, total sales increased by 11.9% (to 75 sales in Q4 2024) for houses, indicating a highly demanded market. Total unit sales declined by -13.9% (to 93 sales in Q4 2024), highlighting an undersupplied market. Combined, this has created a buffer against higher interest rates, resulting in continued price growth. With no new ready-to-sell stand-alone houses in the pipeline, buyers must act fast to secure current available stock.
Project Development
The Robina area plans to see approximately $738.9M of new projects commence construction during 2024 to 2026. 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 2025 pipeline. This can result in an undersupply, making it likely for property prices to increase, not just for houses but other property types too.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Robina was 3.4% as of December 2024, on par with the Gold Coast (3.4%) and slightly higher than Brisbane Metro (3.2%). Median house rental price grew by 9.5% in the past 12 months to Q4 2024, at $940 per week. The number of houses rented increased as well, by 16.2% (to 79 houses in Q4 2024). This indicates a highly demanded and competitive house rental market, which is beneficial to investors.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Robina recorded a vacancy rate of 0.6% in December 2024, below the Gold Coast City LGA average of 1.1% and Brisbane Metro’s 1.2%. Vacancy rates have slightly fluctuated in the past 12 months, but overall have declined, indicating an even tighter rental market. Furthermore, a 0.6% vacancy rate is significantly below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating quicker occupancy of rental homes in Robina. This creates a conducive environment for investors, even with a higher entry price (for both houses and units) in the past 12 months to Q4 2024.
