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.
