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

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.

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.
