Sold in 43 Days: How 11 Tropicana Circuit Landed $2,250,000 in Burleigh Cove
A five-bedroom home on a Burleigh Cove corner block has changed hands for $2,250,000 — 16.9% above the Burleigh Waters house median. It sold in 43 days, right on the suburb's pace, and marginally under its guide. Here's how the result came together.
A five-bedroom home on a Burleigh Cove corner block has changed hands for $2,250,000 — 16.9% above the Burleigh Waters house median. It sold in 43 days, right on the suburb's pace, and marginally under its guide. Here's how the result came together.
The Property
11 Tropicana Circuit sits on a 718 sqm corner block in Burleigh Cove, one of the more tightly held pockets in Burleigh Waters. It's a dual-level home built for a full household: five bedrooms, two bathrooms with an ensuite off the main, and parking for four cars — the kind of car accommodation that's genuinely scarce this close to the coast.
The layout leans into indoor-outdoor living, which is what buyers in this bracket come looking for. There's an inground pool and a covered outdoor entertaining zone that rated 9 out of 10 in our photo analysis — a private, usable corner-block yard rather than a token courtyard. The kitchen anchors the ground floor and connects the living spaces to that outdoor area. Corner positioning gives the home more street frontage and separation from neighbours than a standard interior lot, a detail that matters more in Burleigh Cove than the raw land figure suggests.

The Market It Sold Into
Burleigh Waters remains a step above its neighbours on price. The rolling 12-month house median sits at $1,925,000 across 191 sales — houses only — and the suburb is up +6.9% on the year. That growth hasn't been a straight line: the most recent quarter softened, an early sign the top end is absorbing rather than surging.
Supply is the number that separates Burleigh Waters from the rest of the corridor. At 3.6 months of stock, it carries more listing depth than Robina (2.2 months) or Varsity Lakes (1.8 months) — buyers here have choice, and homes have to earn their price. That backdrop makes the five-bedroom family segment its own conversation. The median for five-bedroom houses is $2,300,000, though on just 19 sales that's a thinner read than the whole-of-suburb figure.
The Campaign
The home launched on 18 June 2026 without an advertised price, taken to market as an auction campaign before settling into an advertised guide of $2,275,000 that held steady through to sale. It sold on 31 July 2026 for $2,250,000 — $25,000, or about 1.1%, under that guide. That's a tight gap: the campaign found its number close to where it was pitched.
At 43 days on market against a suburb average of 44, this was a campaign that moved at the local pace — neither a quick clearance nor a stalled listing. In a segment carrying 3.6 months of supply, holding to a mid-forties timeframe and landing within a whisker of guide is a solid, unremarkable-in-the-best-way result.
The Result
11 Tropicana Circuit, Burleigh Waters sold on 31 July 2026 for $2,250,000.
Sold in 43 days — in line with the 44-day suburb average.
That's 1.1% below the $2,275,000 guide.
And 16.9% above the rolling 12-month Burleigh Waters house median of $1,925,000 (191 sales).
It landed 2.2% under the five-bedroom house median of $2,300,000 (19 sales) — a thin sample worth reading with caution.
The previous owners paid $730,000 in July 2012 — a capital gain of +208.2% over 14 years.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For buyers active in the $2,000,000–$2,300,000 band in Burleigh Waters, this sale is a useful marker. A five-bedroom, four-car home on a 718 sqm corner block in a blue-chip pocket, with a pool and genuine outdoor entertaining, cleared at $2,250,000 — just under the five-bedroom median. With 3.6 months of supply on hand, buyers at this level have room to be selective, and the result shows sellers are meeting the market rather than pushing through it.
For homeowners weighing up a sale nearby, the read is about realistic pricing. This campaign held its guide, sold within 1.1% of it, and wrapped in line with the suburb average — the reward for a price that matched the property. With the most recent quarter softening even as the annual figure stays positive, the gap between an accurately pitched home and an ambitious one is widening. The homes transacting cleanly are the ones guided to where the evidence sits.
