$1,700,000 in Robina: How 16 Collingwood Avenue Beat the Suburb Median by 11.8%

A four-bedroom house on a 1,074 sqm parkside block sold for $1,700,000 — landing 11.8% above Robina's median and turning a December 2020 purchase into an $769,500 gain. The number that tells the real story isn't the sale price. It's the land.

The Property

16 Collingwood Avenue sits on 1,074 sqm — a large, flat block in a quiet residential pocket, which is increasingly the scarce commodity in a suburb built around townhouses and tighter freestanding lots. Space like this, this close to the Robina Town Centre and the suburb's school catchments, is what separated this listing from the pack.

The home runs to four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a separate study and a double garage. Inside, the practical inclusions are all present — ducted air conditioning, dishwasher, a courtyard for low-maintenance outdoor living. But the standout is the rear: an inground pool and an outdoor entertaining zone that rated 9 out of 10 in our photo assessment. On a block this size, the yard isn't an afterthought squeezed around the house — it's a genuine second living area.

The owners bought in December 2020 for $930,500 and held for roughly five and a half years. That timing captured most of Robina's recent growth cycle, and the exit price reflects it.

The Market It Sold Into

Robina's rolling 12-month median for houses sits at $1,520,000, across 205 sales tracked over the past year. Annual house price growth reads +10.9%, but the most recent quarter tells a more cautious story — down 2.9% quarter-on-quarter, with roughly 3.8 months of supply on the market. That's the profile of a suburb still in expansion, but one where buyers have regained some room to negotiate.

One number frames this campaign more than any other: across Robina, asking prices are currently running about 14.8% above independent valuation estimates. In a market where guides are stretched, the properties clearing at or near their asking figure are the ones with something genuinely scarce to offer. A 1,074 sqm block with a pool is exactly that kind of listing — which is why it held its value close to guide rather than drifting well below it.

The Campaign

The property came to market on 26 March 2026 and sold via private treaty on 21 July 2026. It carried a guide of $1,749,000 and settled at $1,700,000 — 2.8% below that figure.

In a quarter where Robina's median softened 2.9% and asking prices are sitting well ahead of valuations, a result within 3% of an ambitious guide is a solid outcome, not a discount. Buyers at this level are disciplined, and the small gap between guide and sale price reflects a considered negotiation rather than a campaign that lost momentum. The land size and the pool did the heavy lifting.

The Result

16 Collingwood Avenue, Robina sold on 21 July 2026 for $1,700,000. Sold 2.8% below the $1,749,000 guide. Sold 11.8% above Robina's rolling 12-month house median of $1,520,000. Sold 9.0% above the suburb's four-bedroom median of $1,560,000. Up 82.7% on the December 2020 purchase price of $930,500.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers active in Robina's $1,600,000–$1,800,000 bracket, this sale is a marker of where the real money is going. The premium here wasn't paid for finishes or a fashionable street — it was paid for 1,074 sqm of flat, usable land with a pool, minutes from the Town Centre. In a suburb where supply is increasingly weighted toward townhouses and compact lots, land-rich freestanding homes command a measurable margin over the median. Buyers chasing that combination should expect to compete near, not below, the four-bedroom median.

For homeowners weighing up a sale nearby, the data points to a market that still rewards genuine scarcity but has stopped rewarding optimism alone. With asking prices sitting around 14.8% above valuation across Robina and the quarterly median easing 2.9%, guides pitched too far ahead of the evidence are the ones sitting. This home cleared close to its guide because its underlying asset — the block — was hard to replicate. A realistic price anchored to comparable sales, not to the top of the asking-price range, is what's converting interest into contracts right now.
