Sold in 22 Days: 105 Harrier Drive Clears at $1,290,000 on a Reserve-Backed Block

A three-bedroom house backing onto reserve, taken to market with no advertised price, sold in 22 days — half the Burleigh Waters average. The campaign ran on Expressions of Interest, and it closed well inside the suburb's typical selling window. Here's how the numbers played out.

The Property

105 Harrier Drive is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on a 418 sqm block in one of Burleigh Waters' quieter pockets. It sits directly against a leafy reserve, which gives the rear of the home a green outlook and a level of privacy that interior canal-adjacent streets rarely match. The block is compact, but the reserve frontage means no neighbour looks back over the yard.

The home was presented vacant, with new carpets laid throughout ahead of the campaign — a clean, move-in-ready proposition rather than a renovation project. The outdoor entertaining area rates solidly, tied to that reserve backdrop and set up for a family that wants usable space without a large block to maintain. Two car spaces round out a practical single-level family layout.

For buyers priced out of Burleigh Waters' upper end, a three-bedroom home on this kind of quiet, reserve-facing street is the entry point into the suburb — close to the Burleigh State High catchment and the coast, without the canal premium.

The Market It Sold Into

Burleigh Waters is in a growth phase, but a measured one. The rolling 12-month house median sits at $1,925,000, based on 191 sales, and house values are up +6.9% year-on-year (houses only). That headline growth hides a softer recent stretch — the most recent quarter cooled -4.9% against the one before it.

Supply tells the more useful story here. Burleigh Waters is carrying 3.6 months of stock — noticeably heavier than nearby Varsity Lakes (1.8 months) or Robina (2.2 months). More choice usually means buyers take their time, which is what makes the pace of this particular campaign worth a closer look. This home didn't sell fast because the market was thin. It sold fast in a suburb where plenty of stock was competing for attention.

The Campaign

105 Harrier Drive was listed on 2 July 2026 without an advertised price, run as an Expressions of Interest campaign, and sold on 24 July 2026 — 22 days on market. The Burleigh Waters average is 44 days, so this result landed at roughly half the suburb's typical selling time. In a market carrying 3.6 months of supply, that's a strong campaign outcome, not a coincidence of timing.

An EOI approach with no guide asks buyers to form their own view of value, which works best when a home is clean, vacant and easy to assess — exactly this property's position. The 22-day close suggests the pricing expectation and buyer feedback aligned early, and the vendor moved once the right offer surfaced rather than holding out through a longer campaign.

The Result

105 Harrier Drive, Burleigh Waters sold on 24 July 2026 for $1,290,000. Sold in 22 days on market — against a Burleigh Waters average of 44 days. Campaign run as Expressions of Interest, with no advertised price. 33.0% below the rolling 12-month Burleigh Waters house median of $1,925,000 (191 sales). 15.7% below the three-bedroom house median of $1,530,000 (45 sales).

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, this is a useful marker for what the bottom third of the Burleigh Waters house market looks like right now. At $1,290,000, this sale sits well under both the overall house median and the three-bedroom median — a reminder that "Burleigh Waters" spans a wide price range, and that a compact block on a quiet, reserve-facing street is where the suburb's entry pricing lives. Buyers watching this bracket should note how quickly it moved: 22 days, in a suburb otherwise averaging 44. The affordable end of a desirable suburb clears faster than the headline supply figure implies.

For homeowners weighing up a sale nearby, the read is about presentation and process. A vacant, freshly carpeted, move-in-ready home sold in half the suburb's average time without an advertised price to anchor it. With Burleigh Waters holding 3.6 months of stock, the homes that stand out — clean, easy to inspect, honestly positioned — are the ones cutting through. Days on market here is not fixed; it's a function of how a home is prepared and taken to market.
