February Market Momentum: Sunshine Coast Property Update

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.

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.
