Confidence Is Returning to the Sunshine Coast Property Market

As we move into the second half of the year, we’re seeing a noticeable shift in buyer confidence across the Sunshine Coast. June has been a month where motivated buyers have started making decisions with greater certainty, quality homes continue to attract strong competition and sellers who are priced well are being rewarded.

While the market isn’t moving at the frantic pace we experienced a few years ago, it remains incredibly healthy. The biggest difference is that buyers are becoming more selective, making presentation, pricing and strategy more important than ever.

Buyer Confidence Continues to Build

Following recent interest rate cuts and greater certainty around the economic outlook, confidence has continued to improve. Buyers who were sitting on the sidelines earlier in the year are now actively inspecting homes, making offers and competing for quality properties.

We’re continuing to see a strong mix of local families, interstate buyers and downsizers looking to secure property across Maroochydore, Kuluin, Buderim and the surrounding Sunshine Coast.

Recent Sales

June has been another rewarding month for Team Vibert, with a number of outstanding results achieved across the Sunshine Coast.

Every property has a different story, but the common theme remains the same: a tailored strategy, strong negotiation and quality marketing continue to deliver excellent outcomes for our sellers.

Recent sales include:

• 4 Summer Ridge Place, Buderim sold for: $2,060,000
• 53 Yvonne Street, Highworth sold for: $2,025,000
• 27 Daintree Drive, Palmview sold for: $1,045,000
• 2/16 Mahogany Way, Gympie sold for: $670,000
• 38 Riverbreeze Way, Kuluin sold for: Contact agent 

Quality Properties Remain in Short Supply

Despite more homes coming to market over recent months, there’s still a shortage of standout properties in desirable locations.

Family homes on larger blocks, lifestyle properties and well-located homes close to schools, beaches and amenities continue to attract significant enquiry.

When the right property becomes available, buyers are prepared to move quickly.

Auction Spotlight: 5 Kerada Road, Nambour

On a large and leafy 2.96 ha holding, this is the kind of entry level acreage opportunity that’s becoming increasingly hard to secure.

Held by the one owner since the 1980s, the property is ready for its next chapter. A solid low set brick home forms the foundation. Original in condition and rich with potential for renovators and value driven buyers who can see what it could become. With three separate structures on the land, there is flexibility to create a lifestyle that suits your world; home, work, training or guest space, shaped over time to your brief.

Looking Ahead

As we move into winter, we expect buyer activity to remain consistent.

Historically, the Sunshine Coast doesn’t experience the seasonal slowdown seen in many southern markets. Our climate, lifestyle and continued population growth mean buyer demand remains relatively steady throughout the year.

If interest rates remain stable and confidence continues improving, we expect competition for quality homes to strengthen heading into spring.

Thinking of Selling?

If you’ve been considering selling in 2026, now is an excellent time to understand where your property sits in today’s market.

Whether you’re simply curious about your home’s value or ready to make your next move, we’d be happy to provide honest advice based on current buyer activity, recent sales and what’s happening in your neighbourhood.

As always, thank you to our clients for your continued trust and support. We look forward to helping more Sunshine Coast families achieve outstanding results throughout the second half of the year.

May Market Update from Team Vibert

As we move into the cooler months across the Sunshine Coast, the property market continues to show resilience, particularly across lifestyle suburbs where quality homes are still attracting strong competition.

While we are seeing buyers become more selective compared to the intensity of previous years, genuine demand remains strong for well positioned homes that present well and are priced correctly. The gap between standout properties and average listings is becoming more noticeable, which is why strategy, presentation and negotiation are more important than ever.

What We’re Seeing in the Market

Across May, enquiry levels remained healthy throughout Maroochydore, Kuluin and surrounding lifestyle suburbs. We are continuing to see motivated buyers actively searching, however buyers are taking slightly more time with their decisions due to affordability pressures and ongoing conversations around interest rates.

Stock levels across the Sunshine Coast also continue to remain relatively low compared to long term averages, which is helping keep market conditions steady across many areas. While we are seeing more properties come to market compared to earlier in the year, overall supply still remains tight, particularly for well presented homes in quality lifestyle locations. This lack of available stock continues to support pricing and buyer competition throughout the region.

The Sunshine Coast market still remains undersupplied compared to long term averages, which continues to support pricing across many pockets of the region. Regional Queensland continues to outperform many larger capital city markets, with lifestyle driven demand remaining a key factor.

The higher end market is also continuing to perform well when homes are marketed correctly. Buyers are still willing to pay premium prices for homes that offer lifestyle appeal, quality finishes and strong positioning.

One thing we are seeing more than ever is the importance of first impressions online. Properties with premium presentation, strong photography and a clear strategy are consistently outperforming competing listings.

What the Latest Federal Budget Means for Property

The recent Federal Budget placed a major focus on housing affordability and increasing supply across Australia, which continues to be one of the biggest conversations within real estate right now.

A number of initiatives were announced, including further investment into new housing construction, infrastructure and support aimed at helping first home buyers enter the market sooner.

From a real estate perspective, anything that improves housing supply is a positive long term move, however the reality is that supply shortages are still being heavily felt across the Sunshine Coast. Throughout Maroochydore, Kuluin and surrounding lifestyle suburbs, stock levels remain well below historical averages, which continues to support property values and buyer competition.

The budget also acknowledged the ongoing pressure many Australians are facing with cost of living and interest rates. While there has been some relief through tax cuts and energy rebates, buyers are still being cautious with their decisions and are taking more time to assess their finances before making a move.

What we are continuing to see locally is that quality homes priced correctly are still attracting strong enquiry and competition. Lifestyle driven markets like the Sunshine Coast continue to outperform many areas due to limited supply, population growth and continued interstate demand.

Buyer Demand Update

Our buyer database continues to grow weekly, with strong activity from:

• Brisbane buyers relocating permanently to the Sunshine Coast
• Local upgraders looking for lifestyle homes
• Interstate buyers seeking long term lifestyle investments
• Downsizers targeting low maintenance living close to amenities
• Investors returning to the apartment market due to rental demand

We are also seeing continued competition in the sub $1.2M market, particularly for homes that are move in ready.

Apartments across Maroochydore and Birtinya continue to attract solid enquiry levels, especially newer developments offering lifestyle convenience and low maintenance living.

Local Spotlight: Maroochydore

Maroochydore continues to evolve into one of the Sunshine Coast’s strongest lifestyle and investment hubs.

The continued growth of the Maroochydore CBD, combined with beachside lifestyle appeal, dining precincts, infrastructure investment and accessibility, continues to attract both owner occupiers and investors.

Well located homes and quality apartments are still seeing strong interest, particularly from buyers relocating from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne who continue to see strong value in the Sunshine Coast market compared to southern capitals.

What Our Sellers Are Saying

There’s nothing more rewarding than helping clients take their next step with confidence, and we’re grateful for the incredible feedback we’ve received so far this year.

Seller of 15 Caroline Crescent, Buderim – Jamie took over our house sale from a poor agent who was only interested in selling our house on the cheap. Jamie helped get us a far better price and found a keen buyer and persevered. We would definitely recommend using him and TOWN.

Buyer of 202/14 Maud Street, Nambour – Buying this property with Team Jamie Vibert was simple and smooth transaction. Communication and attention to detail was second to none Highly recommend.

Seller of 13 Prestwick Court, Tewantin – Very prompt service, incredibly easy to deal with. Property sold in 3 days! Highly recommend.

Seller of 202/14 Maud Street, Nambour – Jamie’s awesome. Can’t get much better than him. Responds to any questions or concerns immediately. Always speak the truth and doesn’t keep you in the dark.

Seller of 9 Lacewood Place, Peregian Springs – Jamie was great to deal with throughout the process. He has a strong knowledge of the Peregian Springs area and was always happy to answer questions and provide guidance when needed. Communication was clear and timely, and he made the whole process feel smooth and straightforward. I’d definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

Message from Our Team

As we head into winter, the market still presents excellent opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

For sellers, preparation and strategy remain critical. The homes achieving premium prices are the ones entering the market with the right positioning from day one.

For buyers, while conditions may feel more balanced than previous years, quality homes are still moving quickly and competition remains strong in many segments.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move this year, now is a great time to start having conversations and planning ahead.

As always, if you would like an updated market appraisal, advice on timing or simply want to understand what your property could achieve in today’s market, our team is always here to help.

Team Vibert – Jamie, Naj, Solomon & Lauren 

April Update with Team Vibert

As we move through April and settle into the rhythm of autumn, the property market across the Sunshine Coast continues to show encouraging signs of stability, confidence and genuine buyer activity.

After a strong start to the year, we’re seeing many buyers now acting with more intent. Open homes are still well attended and while the pace has become slightly more considered, the demand for well presented, well priced homes remains very strong.

Recent Sales & Buyer Demand

Throughout April, we’ve seen several campaigns generate excellent enquiry, strong inspection numbers and competitive offers from qualified buyers ready to act.

In many cases, multiple buyers have missed out and remain actively searching for similar properties.

As we move further into autumn, we’re continuing to work with a number of genuine buyers who are eager to secure a home in the area. Many are flexible on settlement terms and prepared to move quickly when the right opportunity presents itself.

For homeowners considering a move, the current level of buyer demand, combined with relatively limited competition is creating a favourable window to come to market.

Recent sales include:

• 9 Timbertop Street, Buderim sold for: $1,117,000
• 3 Staccato Way, Palmview sold for: $1,040,000
• 4 Kokoda Avenue, Bli Bli sold off-market for: $970,000
• 97/596 David Low Way, Pacific Paradise sold for: $915,000
• 202/14 Maud Street, Nambour sold off-market for: $681,500
• 58 Hilltop Drive, Burnside sold for $650,000

What We’re Seeing on the Ground

One of the biggest trends we’ve noticed over the past few weeks is the continued strength of off market opportunities.

More sellers are choosing a quieter approach and with a database of qualified, ready-to-act buyers, we’ve been able to connect the right people without properties ever hitting the open market. Recently, we achieved a record result within a local complex through an off-market campaign, highlighting just how powerful this strategy can be when the right buyers are already in place.

For buyers, this means opportunities are out there but often not publicly advertised. And for sellers, it shows that strong results can still be achieved without the stress of a full campaign.

Local Spotlight: Maroochydore & Kuluin

April has really highlighted the continued momentum across some of our most in demand pockets, particularly Maroochydore and Kuluin, two areas offering very different lifestyles, but both seeing strong and consistent buyer interest.

Maroochydore: Lifestyle Meets Growth

Maroochydore continues to evolve into one of the most exciting hubs on the Sunshine Coast. With the ongoing transformation of the CBD, new businesses, dining options and infrastructure are bringing a new level of energy to the area.

What’s driving demand here isn’t just growth, it’s lifestyle. The ability to live within minutes of Cotton Tree, the river, beaches, cafés and Sunshine Plaza is a major drawcard for buyers. We’re seeing strong interest from professionals, downsizers and interstate buyers all wanting to secure a position in a suburb that offers that “walkable coastal lifestyle.”

Well located apartments and quality homes continue to attract high enquiry, particularly when they offer a blend of view, design and proximity to everything Maroochydore has to offer.

Kuluin: The Quiet Achiever

Kuluin is one of those suburbs that has quietly built momentum and it’s starting to get the attention it deserves.

Positioned just minutes from Maroochydore, it offers a more relaxed, residential feel while still being incredibly well connected. Buyers are increasingly drawn to the larger blocks, leafy streets and sense of space, making it especially appealing to families and those looking for a bit more breathing room.

We’ve seen strong enquiry levels across recent campaigns, with multiple buyers missing out and continuing to search for similar homes. With limited stock available, Kuluin is presenting a great opportunity for sellers looking to take advantage of current demand.

Across both suburbs, the common theme is clear, lifestyle driven locations with strong fundamentals continue to perform.

As we move further into autumn, we expect this steady demand to continue, particularly in areas that offer a balance of convenience, lifestyle and long term growth potential.

Property Spotlight: 38 Riverbreeze Way Set for Auction

Kuluin continues to quietly position itself as one of the Sunshine Coast’s most compelling opportunities, a suburb that offers proximity, lifestyle and value, all within minutes of the region’s key hubs.

Bordering Buderim and Maroochydore, Kuluin gives buyers access to beaches, major shopping and transport without the premium price tag typically associated with its neighbours. It’s this balance that’s driving increasing buyer attention and steady growth in the area.

A standout example of what’s on offer is 38 Riverbreeze Way, set within the boutique Hilltop enclave.

Set on a substantial 1,507m² parcel, this brand new home delivers space, privacy and a level of finish that feels immediately elevated.

• 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage
• High ceilings and raked living areas filled with natural light
• Expansive outdoor deck overlooking a natural greenbelt
• Generous backyard with room for a pool and future entertaining zone
• Move in ready with nothing more to spend

The home has been designed to maximise both comfort and outlook, with a seamless indoor outdoor connection and a layout that suits families, downsizers wanting space or buyers chasing a lifestyle upgrade.

This property is heading to auction on Saturday 9 May at 10:00am, presenting a genuine opportunity for buyers to secure a foothold in a high growth pocket of the Sunshine Coast.

With strong interest already building and the combination of land size, location and turnkey living, it’s expected to attract a wide range of buyers looking to secure both lifestyle and long term value.

What Our Sellers Are Saying

There’s nothing more rewarding than helping clients take their next step with confidence, and we’re grateful for the incredible feedback we’ve received so far this year.

Seller of 9 Timbertop Street, Buderim – This was the second property that Jamie has sold for me. Once again he exceeded expectations and achieved an unreal result. I can’t recommend him enough, the knowledge and communication is unmatched. I will continue to use Jamie in the future and have already successfully referred him to family and friends.

Seller of 9 Rosewood Place, Peregian Springs – Jamie was great to deal with throughout the process. He has a strong knowledge of the Peregian Springs area and was always happy to answer questions and provide guidance when needed. Communication was clear and timely, and he made the whole process feel smooth and straightforward. I’d definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

Seller of 6/18 Arwen Street, Maroochydore – It was lovely working with Jamie – we were unsure about selling, exploring the market and speaking to a number of agents. Jamie understood exactly what we were after and offered amazing solutions to ensure we were comfortable putting our house on the market. The process was effortless and we had a great outcome. We couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you!

Seller of 13 Crows Ash Place, Kuluin – Jamie did an outstanding job selling our home. The time on the market was incredibly fast, and he achieved a result well above what we were hoping for. His communication throughout the entire process was unreal – always clear, prompt, and professional. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell.

Seller of 3 Staccato Way, Palmview – Jamie was an excellent agent who helped us with the sale of our first home. Jamie’s team came onto our radar after they made a record sale one street over. The team made the process easy and stress free. Jamie was always punctual and reliable.

From Our Team

It’s been a busy and rewarding start to the year for Team Vibert. We’ve had the privilege of helping many local families make their next move and we’re excited about what the coming months will bring.

As always, thank you for your continued trust and support, it never goes unnoticed.

Sunshine Coast Property Market Update: Strong Buyer Activity in March

Across suburbs such as Maroochydore, Kuluin, Bli Bli and Palmview, we are continuing to see strong interest from a diverse mix of buyers.

Local families are looking to upgrade their homes, first home buyers are actively entering the market and interstate purchasers remain attracted to the Sunshine Coast lifestyle. With stock levels still relatively tight in many pockets, quality homes are often selling quickly when they hit the market.

Open home attendance has remained steady, with many buyers coming through inspections well prepared and finance approved. This has helped create healthy competition for desirable properties.

Recent Sales & Buyer Demand

Over the past few weeks, several recent campaigns have generated excellent enquiry, high inspection numbers and strong offers from qualified buyers ready to purchase immediately. In some cases, multiple buyers have missed out and are still actively searching for similar properties.

As a result, we are currently working with several genuine buyers who are eager to secure a home in the area. Many of these buyers are flexible on settlement terms and ready to move quickly should the right opportunity arise.

For homeowners who may have been considering selling, this ongoing buyer demand presents a strong opportunity while competition from other listings remains relatively limited.

Recent sales include:

• 59 Akala Street, Flaxton sold for: $1,305,000
• 13 Crows Ash Place, Kuluin sold for: $1,265,000
• 4 Maiden Crest, Southside sold for: $885,000
• 6/18 Arwen Street, Maroochydore sold for: $845,000

Team Vibert Update

It’s been an exciting start to the year for our team. We’re incredibly proud to share that Team Vibert were recently recognised as a Top 5 Agent on the Sunshine Coast.

Adding to this milestone, Jamie was also named the 2025 realestate.com.au Top Agent in Kuluin, a recognition that reflects strong results, consistent performance and the trust of local clients within the Kuluin community.

These achievements reflect the support we continue to receive from clients and community across the region. Every campaign, every sale and every relationship built with buyers and sellers contributes to milestones like this and we’re grateful to be part of so many successful property journeys.

A big thank you to our sellers, buyers and the wider Sunshine Coast community for your continued confidence in our team. We look forward to building on this momentum throughout the rest of 2026.

Positive Growth for the Sunshine Coast

There has also been exciting news for the Sunshine Coast with the expansion of Aussie World recently receiving approval for a major new waterpark development.

The proposed $60 million waterpark will feature multiple waterslides, pools, family attractions and hospitality venues, adding another exciting lifestyle destination for locals and visitors alike. The project is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually and contribute significantly to the Sunshine Coast tourism economy while creating local employment opportunities.

Projects like this continue to highlight the strong growth and long term confidence in the Sunshine Coast as a place to live, work and invest.

Suburb Spotlight: Kuluin

Tucked just minutes from the heart of Maroochydore, Kuluin continues to be one of the Sunshine Coast’s most quietly desirable suburbs. Known for its leafy streets, family friendly atmosphere and convenient location, the area is attracting strong interest from both local buyers and interstate movers seeking lifestyle and value.

Kuluin offers the perfect balance of peace and accessibility. Residents enjoy easy access to local schools, parks, shopping centres and the beautiful Sunshine Coast beaches, all while being only a short drive from the Maroochydore CBD. This combination of lifestyle and convenience has made the suburb increasingly popular with young families and professionals looking to establish themselves close to the coast.

From a property perspective, demand remains strong for well presented homes, particularly those offering generous block sizes, outdoor entertaining areas and modern updates. With limited stock available at times, quality homes in Kuluin are continuing to attract excellent buyer interest.

As the Sunshine Coast continues to grow, Kuluin remains a suburb to watch, offering a fantastic lifestyle while still being within easy reach of everything the region has to offer.

What Our Buyers & Sellers Are Saying

There’s nothing more rewarding than helping clients take their next step with confidence, and we’re grateful for the incredible feedback we’ve received so far this year.

Seller of 59 Akala Street, Flaxton – Jamie was informed, professional, personable and focused from the very first meeting we had. Never felt pressured in any way, he was courteous, helpful, quick to respond to any queries, kept me informed and was reliable throughout the whole sale process. I felt confident that he had my interests at heart, and he and his team went over and above to support and help throughout. Would absolutely recommend him as an agent to anyone.

Seller of 4 Maiden Crest, Southside – Jamie was absolutely brilliant in selling my house. From the very start, he was professional, proactive, and completely confident in his strategy. He marketed the property perfectly, attracted strong interest almost immediately, and secured a fantastic offer far quicker than I expected. His communication was clear and consistent throughout, which made the whole process stress free. I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent highly recommended!

Seller of 13 Crows Ash Place, Kuluin – Jamie was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Communication was clear, consistent, and honest, making the whole process stress free. Jamie truly listened to what we wanted, guided us with confidence and expertise and delivered exactly what we hoped for plus more. Couldn’t be happier with the result! Highly recommend Jamie to anyone selling their home.

Buyer of 59 Akala Street, Flaxton – Thoroughly impressed by Jamie’s professionalism and dedication. Jamie is a fantastic communicator and easy to get along with. Definitely one of the better realestate agents out there, would absolutely recommend and use again.

Off Market Opportunities on the Sunshine Coast

Off market opportunities continue to play an important role in today’s market. Many homeowners prefer a quieter approach to selling, allowing them to test buyer interest without launching a full public campaign. Through our database of qualified buyers and strong local connections, we’re often able to match the right buyers with the right homes before they officially hit the market.

If you’re considering selling or looking to purchase, it’s always worth reaching out, as some of the best opportunities are secured before they’re ever publicly advertised.

Coming Soon: Arcadia Townhomes

Another exciting project coming soon to the market is Arcadia Buderim, a boutique collection of contemporary two level townhomes positioned along Toral Drive in the heart of Buderim.

Each residence offers three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and secure single car accommodation, thoughtfully designed for modern living. Open plan living and dining areas flow seamlessly to private alfresco spaces, while the upper level provides comfortable accommodation with a sense of privacy and retreat.

Located just moments from Buderim Village and only two kilometres from the University of the Sunshine Coast, the address offers everyday convenience while maintaining the relaxed lifestyle Buderim is known for.

Looking Ahead

With buyer activity remaining steady and many purchasers still searching for their next home, the Sunshine Coast market continues to offer positive opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

If you’re curious about the current value of your property or considering selling in 2026, I’m always happy to have a confidential conversation and provide an up to date market appraisal.

Thank you to our clients and community for your continued support and we look forward to sharing more market updates in the coming months.

As we move through the first quarter of 2026, February has delivered a strong start to the year across the Sunshine Coast property market.

With families settled back into school and buyers refocused after the holiday period, we’re seeing renewed confidence and motivated enquiry across Buderim, Maroochydore, Palmview and surrounding suburbs.

Open home attendance has lifted, qualified buyers are active and well presented homes are continuing to attract strong competition.

Recently Sold: Strong Results Across Key Suburbs

February has already delivered some outstanding results across our core markets, with strong buyer competition and strategic campaigns driving premium outcomes.

Recent sales include:

• 15 Caroline Crescent, Buderim sold for $1,882,500
• 58 Mons School Road, Mons sold for $1,750,000
• 56 Concert Avenue, Palmview sold for $1,620,000
• 2/5 Maroochy Waters Drive, Maroochydore sold for $1,420,000
• 2 Goodwood Court, Buderim sold for $1,230,000

Across these campaigns, we’ve seen:

• High-quality buyer enquiry
• Shorter days on market
• Confident negotiations
• Strong sale prices aligned with current market conditions

These results reflect a key trend we’re seeing right now. Buyers are decisive when the property is well presented and correctly positioned.

If you’re wondering what your home could achieve in today’s market, a tailored appraisal can provide clarity and confidence before making your next move.

Suburb Spotlight: Maroochydore

Maroochydore continues to be one of the Sunshine Coast’s most in-demand coastal hubs, combining lifestyle, convenience and long term growth potential.

• Buyers are particularly drawn to:
• Proximity to beaches and the Maroochy River
• The evolving Maroochydore CBD precinct
• Cafés, retail and dining within easy reach
• Strong rental demand and investment appeal
• Family friendly pockets close to schools and parks

We’re seeing consistent interest from both owner occupiers and investors, with well presented homes and low maintenance properties generating strong enquiry in the early stages of their campaigns.

With ongoing infrastructure growth and continued buyer demand, Maroochydore remains a tightly held suburb offering both lifestyle and solid capital growth fundamentals.

What Our Buyers & Sellers Are Saying

One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is helping clients move forward with confidence and February has already brought some incredible feedback.

Seller of 41/20 Stevens Street, Yandina – “Exceptional sale result achieved again! Second property sold through Jamie and again an outstanding result achieved. The whole sale process was made so easy and clear through using Jamie for the sale! All my expectations were exceeded for sale price and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. Jame’s logical approach, incredible knowledge of the QLD markets and professionalism is first class. If you want the best in the business – Jamie is definitely the person! Thanks again, really appreciate all your hard work!”

Seller of 2 Goodwood Court, Buderim – Jamie was absolutely fantastic in the sale of our investment property. His communication, market knowledge and professionalism made the entire process flow with ease. He kept us informed every step of the way and explained everything clearly, which gave us great confidence throughout the sale. Jamie’s approach was both professional and personal, we genuinely felt valued and supported. We couldn’t be happier with the experience or the result and would highly recommend Jamie.”

Seller 56 Concert Avenue, Palmview – “Jamie is not your typical real estate agent stereotype. He is genuine, relatable, and easy to work with, which really resonated with us. His approach is honest, straightforward, and professional with both sellers and buyers. The strategy he used to sell our home stood out and made complete sense, giving us confidence throughout the process. We also worked with Jamie on the purchase of our new property and experienced the same level of professionalism and consistency. We would highly recommend!”

Real estate is about trust. These reviews reflect the care and commitment we bring to every campaign, whether it’s a family home, investment property or downsizer.

Interest Rates & Buyer Confidence

Interest rates remain a key conversation point in 2026, and while we’ve seen adjustments over the past 12 – 18 months, the market has largely stabilised.

What’s important is this: buyers have adapted.

We’re seeing:

• Finance ready purchasers entering the market
• Strong pre approval activity
• Confident bidding on well priced homes
• Buyers prioritising long term lifestyle decisions over short term rate movements

Many buyers understand that property decisions are long term investments. Small movements in interest rates tend to have less impact on motivated families who are focused on securing the right home in the right location.
For sellers, this means qualified buyers are still active, particularly when a property is well presented and priced in line with current market conditions.

Thinking of Making a Move in 2026?

Whether you’re planning to upsize, downsize or simply want to understand your current property value, we’d love to have a confidential conversation.

If you’re considering selling this year, March may be offering the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

As a real estate agent on the Sunshine Coast, one of the most common questions I’m asked by buyers is how they can get ahead of the competition. In a market where quality homes are in demand, off-market opportunities can provide a genuine edge. Off-market properties are homes that are quietly offered to a select group of buyers before being advertised publicly, often resulting in smoother negotiations and less pressure.

Across the Sunshine Coast market, these opportunities are becoming increasingly valuable, particularly for buyers who are prepared, decisive and working closely with an experienced Real estate agent.

Why Sellers Choose to Sell Off-Market

Not every seller wants a full public campaign. Some prefer discretion, flexibility, or simply a quieter approach. This is where strong agent relationships matter. Buyers who are actively engaged with Real estate agents and have clearly communicated their criteria are often the first to be notified when these opportunities arise.

This is especially relevant for buyers searching for Properties for sale  in Maroochydore, where demand remains strong and well-located homes can attract immediate attention. Off-market access allows buyers to act before competition escalates.

Local Knowledge Makes the Difference

Working with local Real estate agents who understand buyer demand, pricing trends and seller motivations is critical. In suburbs like Kuluin, off-market transactions are becoming more common as homeowners test the market before committing to a full campaign.

Our role as a team is to connect the right buyers with the right properties at the right time. That comes from years of local experience, ongoing conversations with homeowners and maintaining a qualified buyer database that I can confidently present to sellers.

Proven Results Build Buyer Confidence

Recent results reinforce why it is important to build a close relationship with an Agent you trust. The sale of 15 Caroline Crescent, Buderim, which achieved $1,882,500, highlighted the value of strategy, communication and trust throughout the process.

One recent client shared, “Jamie was outstanding, I didn’t think selling a property would be that stress free. Jamie was very professional, he always kept me updated on every step of the sale and the final result was exceptional. He handled everything from marketing to conveyance. I can’t recommend him enough.”

Feedback like this reflects the importance of experience and care, qualities buyers also benefit from when pursuing off-market opportunities.

Looking Ahead for Buyers in 2026

With new listings such as the Lumeah Estate in Peregian Springs drawing attention, buyer competition will remain a key feature of early 2026. Off-market opportunities will continue to play an important role for buyers wanting to secure quality homes without the intensity of a public campaign.

As a top Sunshine Coast agent, my focus is on providing buyers with early access, honest guidance and a clear strategy. By working closely together, buyers can position themselves strongly and take advantage of opportunities that others may never see.

As a real estate agent on the Sunshine Coast, December is always a time when I pause, reflect, and appreciate the incredible people, properties and opportunities I’ve been fortunate to work with over the year. 2025 has been one of the most rewarding years of my career, both personally and professionally, and I’m truly grateful for the continued support from homeowners, buyers and the local community.

Achievements That Made This Year Special

This year I was honoured to be named a 2025 RateMyAgent Award Winner, a recognition that means so much because it’s based on genuine client feedback. I’m also incredibly proud to have surpassed 200 client reviews, with more than 70 received in the last 12 months, while helping over 50 families successfully sell their home this year alone.

Those 50+ sales weren’t just transactions, they represented a wide range of properties across Kuluin, Maroochydore and the broader Sunshine Coast. From family homes exceeding expectations, to downsizers securing fantastic outcomes, to first-time sellers navigating the process with confidence, each sale had its own strategy and momentum. Buyer demand remained deep throughout the year and many properties attracted strong competition early in the campaign. This reinforced the importance of clear communication, structured negotiation and strong marketing, which are three things I prioritise every listing.

I was also proud to finish the year as the #1 Ranked agent in Kuluin on realestate.com.au, a suburb I’m genuinely passionate about and where I’ve built strong relationships with owners, buyers and local families. Kuluin continues to be one of the standout pockets of the Sunshine Coast market.

Giving back to the Community – TOWN.

One initiative I’m extremely proud to be part of is the TOWN Community Fund. It’s our way of giving back to the community we live and work in.

This year alone, we’ve raised over $60,000, all of which goes towards supporting community initiatives across the Sunshine Coast. Our mission is simple, to create real and meaningful impact for the people who make this region such a special place.

A Standout Sale: 4 Tringa Court, Kuluin

One of the highlight sales of the year was 4 Tringa Court, which generated impressive interest from day one. The result highlighted how competitive Kuluin has become and showcased the value of a well-executed, strategy-driven campaign.

A Feature Listing: 2/5 Maroochy Waters Drive, Maroochydore

A key listing highlight was 2/5 Maroochy Waters Drive, Maroochydore. A beautifully positioned duplex near the river that drew strong early enquiry. With demand for properties for sale in Maroochydore at record levels, this campaign emphasised just how sought after the area remains for buyers across the Coast.

Client Feedback That Motivates Me

A recent buyer shared:

“As a buyer, Jamie has been really easy and professional to deal with. He handled multiple offers in a way that was fair and clearly communicated. Jamie and his team then kept in close contact during signing and conditional stages of the contract and helped resolve building and pest issues when they came up. Overall, he helped the process go smoothly with minimum stress”.

Feedback like this keeps me motivated and reminds me why I love what I do.

Looking Ahead

As we wrap up 2025, I’m genuinely excited for the year ahead. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply following the Sunshine Coast market, I’m always here to help.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me this year, past clients, current clients, and those who simply follow along.

Here’s to an even bigger 2026!

As we move into November, the Sunshine Coast begins to take on that familiar shift toward the Christmas season. The days feel lighter, the community gets busier, and both buyers and sellers start planning their final moves before the year wraps up. As a Real Estate Agent on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve always found this time of year to be one of balance — a mix of urgency from buyers wanting to secure something before the holidays and confidence from sellers who understand the value of listing during a high-activity period.

Market Activity as We Enter the Festive Season

The Sunshine Coast market remains strong moving into Christmas. Buyers are still actively searching across suburbs like Maroochydore, Buderim, Mooloolaba and Kuluin, with a consistent flow of enquiry for well-presented properties. Many people assume things slow down as December approaches, but in reality, this period continues to deliver solid opportunities for both sides.
People moving interstate often want deals finalised before travel, families want to settle before the school holidays, and locals are looking to position themselves ahead of the New Year market.

As a Real Estate Agent, I’ve been navigating this rush by ensuring every listing is strategically positioned, especially for those looking at properties for sale in Maroochydore or the rapidly growing Kuluin area. Momentum is strong, and good homes are still achieving premium attention.

Notable Sales and Current Listings

This month, I’m proud to highlight two standout results: 14 Stephen Street, Buderim and 1/5 Carrothool Place, Mooloolaba. Both properties showcased just how engaged the Sunshine Coast market continues to be. Each sale reinforced the importance of strong negotiation, proactive communication, and tailored marketing.

On the listing front, a property I am proud to present is 38 Riverbreeze Way, Kuluin, a premium house and land package priced at $1.2M+. Kuluin continues to grow in demand thanks to its central position, family-friendly feel, and strong returns. For anyone searching for opportunity in a thriving suburb, this one is worth keeping an eye on.

Client Experiences and Personal Approach

One of my favourite parts of this job is hearing from clients after their campaigns. A recent review I received meant a lot to me:

“Jamie is extremely confident and knowledgeable about the market on the Sunshine Coast. He used his extensive knowledge to create a marketing campaign that was specific to our property, resulting in an outstanding result far exceeding our expectations. Jamie is professional, trustworthy and truly cares about his clients. Jamie constantly kept us in the loop, while also making the process easy and stress free. We’re blown away with the outcome Jamie got for our property.”

This feedback, along with many others, recently helped me reach 200 client reviews, a milestone I’m truly grateful for. Every review reminds me why I’m committed to delivering a personalised, stress-free experience for every seller and buyer.

Looking Ahead to Christmas and Beyond

As we head deeper into the Christmas season, the market remains active, motivated, and full of opportunity. Real estate agents across the Sunshine Coast know that November is often one of the most productive months — and I’m committed to helping clients move into the next stage of their property journey with confidence.

Whether you’re considering selling, or seeking guidance from an experienced agent, I’m here to help you make the most of this festive season in the market.

As a real estate agent on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve watched Maroochydore’s profile lift consistently this year. The suburb jumped from ninth to sixth nationwide for apartment sales, a clear sign that lifestyle remains a major driver across Australia’s property market. While Maroochydore led the apartment rankings for our region, Buderim also performed strongly in the houses list, highlighting broad demand across the country.

Why Maroochydore Is Drawing Buyers

Maroochydore offers a rare combination of coastal convenience, strong amenity, and increasing employment opportunities thanks to ongoing development. Buyers chasing the Sunshine Coast lifestyle are prioritising walkability, cafés, waterfront access, and modern apartment living, all key strengths of Maroochydore. This mix is attracting city relocators, professionals seeking a better work–life balance, and investors looking for reliable rental demand.

Recent Local Activity

This month we achieved a standout sale at 911/9 Market Lane, Maroochydore, which sold prior to going live. That result reflects the depth of apartment demand in the area and the willingness of buyers to act quickly when the right property appears.

We’re also preparing 1/5 Carrothool Place, Mooloolaba for Auction, a listing that demonstrates the broad buyer appeal in our market. The property is attracting interest from first-home buyers through to downsizers, proving coastal auction campaigns still deliver strong competition across multiple buyer segments.

Client Experience and Trust

A recent client commented:

“A great result achieved by Jamie and his team in selling this property. Sold before it made it to the market through his extensive network and database. Throughout the entire sale, everyone was well informed and kept up to speed. The new sellers disclosure was worrying us. However, Jamie and his team were amazing in explaining the process and what we needed to do. Great outcome and very happy.”

Feedback like this underscores why I remain committed as a real estate agent to transparent communication and tailored strategies. Whether you’re searching properties for sale Maroochydore or looking for trusted real estate agents Maroochydore, local knowledge matters.

Recognition and Commitment

I’m also proud to share that our agency, TOWN., has been named a finalist in both the Sunshine Coast Business Awards and the REIQ Medium Residential Agency of the Year. It’s an honour that reflects the hard work, professionalism, and results-driven approach our entire team brings to the table every day.

If you’re planning your next move in the property market whether its buying, selling, or just exploring what’s possible, I’d love to help guide you through it.

As a real estate agent on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve noticed a clear shift in what buyers are prioritising this spring. September has been a busy month, and lifestyle suburbs across our region are firmly in demand. Buyers are increasingly focused on locations that offer not just a home, but a way of life, from coastal living to family-friendly suburbs with a strong sense of community.

Lifestyle Demand on the Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast continues to attract a wide mix of buyers, from locals looking to upgrade through to interstate families searching for a fresh start. Real estate on the Sunshine Coast has always been sought-after, but in recent months there has been heightened competition for lifestyle-driven areas such as Maroochydore, Buderim, and Kuluin. These suburbs offer a unique combination of convenience and lifestyle, which is exactly what today’s buyers are seeking.

Adding to this momentum, the new government grant allowing buyers to enter the market with just a 5% deposit has created an extra wave of enquiry. For first-home buyers especially, this has opened the door to suburbs they may not have previously considered, and it’s been encouraging to see the confidence it has generated.

Property Sale Limelight – 55 Lancelin Place

One of the standout sales this month was a beautiful waterfront home at 55 Lancelin Place in The Cove, Maroochydore. This property showcased everything buyers are drawn to in lifestyle living, modern design, premium finishes, and direct water access. It was a true reflection of the calibre of homes in Maroochydore that continue to be in high demand.

Another notable result was the sale of 58 Mons School Road, which achieved $1.75 million. This was a substantial property set on a large block, featuring six bedrooms and three bathrooms along with expansive views. Homes of this scale and calibre continue to draw significant interest, proving that buyers are not only chasing lifestyle suburbs but also gravitating toward properties that offer space, versatility, and elevated living.

Property Listing Limelight – 14 Stephen Street, Buderim

On the listing front, I’m excited to showcase 14 Stephen Street, Buderim. This property sits in one of the Sunshine Coast’s most desirable lifestyle suburbs, offering buyers a rare opportunity to secure a home in a tightly held location. With strong buyer interest flowing through spring, properties like this are drawing attention quickly.

A Trusted Experience

“I contacted Town Real Estate when we first decided to sell our house, Jamie came out to meet us. From the start, I was impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, far exceeding our expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jamie and the team, and we’d definitely use them again in the future.”

Delivering this level of service is something I take great pride in. Every property and every client is unique, and my focus is always on creating a strategy that not only achieves strong results but also makes the entire process as seamless as possible.

If you’re considering your next step in the property market, whether buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I’d be more than happy to assist.
