Sold for $1,020,000: How a 2020-Built Townhouse Cracked Robina's Sub-$1,100,000 Ceiling

A three-bedroom townhouse at 239/2 Bella Avenue has sold for $1,020,000 — a price that sits well under Robina's freestanding-house median but represents a +59.6% gain on its 2020 purchase. The campaign ran long. The number at the end tells you why townhouses are doing a specific job in this suburb right now.

The Property

Built in 2020 within the Vue complex, this is a dual-level, three-bedroom townhouse designed for low-maintenance living rather than acreage or garden. It carries two bathrooms, an ensuite to the main bedroom, a separate study, and two car spaces — the practical footprint that suits downsizers, professionals near Bond University, and families who want a Robina address without a freestanding-house budget.

The interior is contemporary and light, with ducted and split air conditioning, a dishwasher-equipped kitchen, and both a balcony and a deck extending the living space outward. The study is the quiet differentiator here: in a three-bedroom townhouse, a dedicated work-from-home room is the feature that separates a comfortable plan from a compromised one. Being a secure, community-titled complex, the buyer inherits shared maintenance and a lock-and-leave lifestyle — the trade-off townhouse buyers actively choose.

What makes 239/2 Bella Avenue stand out in Robina is its age. A large share of the suburb's townhouse belt predates 2010. A 2020 build with modern services and layout is a smaller, more sought-after subset — and that scarcity is part of the story of how it held its price.

The Market It Sold Into

Robina is in an expansion phase, with house prices up +10.9% year-on-year over the rolling 12-month window (houses only). But the most recent quarter told a flatter story: prices eased -2.9% quarter-on-quarter, and stale listings — those sitting beyond 60 days — are up +26.0%. The suburb is still growing, but campaigns are taking longer to convert than they did a year ago, with median days on market now at 38 and supply at 3.8 months.

That backdrop matters for a sub-$1,100,000 townhouse. The rolling 12-month median sale price for a Robina house is $1,520,000, and the three-bedroom median sits at $1,302,500 — figures dominated by freestanding stock. A modern townhouse is the entry point beneath that band, and in a market where buyers are more selective and taking their time, the affordable, low-maintenance end of Robina is where a lot of the genuine demand now lives.

The Campaign

The property was listed on 7 May 2026 and sold on 24 July 2026 — roughly 78 days on market. That is meaningfully longer than Robina's 29-day average and its 38-day median, and it puts this campaign in the growing group of listings crossing the 60-day mark that the current data is flagging. In a suburb where stale listings are up +26.0%, a longer campaign is less an outlier than a sign of the times.

The extended timeline is the honest read here: this was not a quick sale. But it landed at $1,020,000 without the price being cut to chase a fast result — a patient campaign that held its number rather than a hurried one that discounted. In an expansion market that has cooled quarter-on-quarter, holding firm and waiting for the right buyer is a defensible strategy, and it worked.

The Result

239/2 Bella Avenue, Robina sold on 2026-07-24 for $1,020,000. Listed 7 May 2026 — approximately 78 days on market, against a Robina average of 29 days. 32.9% below the Robina house median of $1,520,000. 21.7% below the suburb's three-bedroom median of $1,302,500. +59.6% capital gain on the November 2020 purchase price of $639,000.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers active in Robina under $1,100,000, this sale is a marker. A 2020-built, three-bedroom townhouse with a study and two bathrooms transacting at $1,020,000 confirms where the modern townhouse ceiling sits in this suburb — well below the freestanding-house median, but climbing. The gap between this price and the $1,302,500 three-bedroom median is the premium a freestanding block and land component still command. If your budget stops around $1,000,000, well-built townhouse stock is the realistic path into Robina, and the 78-day campaign shows buyers currently have time to assess rather than rush.

For homeowners nearby, the lesson is about pricing to the current market, not last year's. Robina is still up +10.9% on the year, but the -2.9% quarterly move and the rise in stale listings mean campaigns are running longer and buyers are negotiating harder. A well-presented, modern townhouse can still achieve a strong number — the $639,000-to-$1,020,000 result over roughly five and a half years proves the capital growth is real — but it may take longer than the 29-day average to get there. Set the guide to the evidence, and be prepared for a patient buyer pool.
