Burleigh Waters House Prices & Growth Trends

Where prices sit and how they're moving.

Burleigh Waters Median House Price

Stable
  • Median house price has plateaued at approximately $1,400,000–$1,500,000
  • Three consecutive quarters at this level before a Q4 jump to $1,495,000
  • Rapid double-digit gains of 2021-2023 are clearly over

What this means

  • The market has transitioned from growth to stabilisation
  • This is the normal phase after a boom — prices consolidate before the next move

Burleigh Waters Year-on-Year Price Growth

Slowing
  • Annual growth rate has decelerated significantly from peak levels
  • The trend matters more than the absolute number — direction is key
  • Positive but declining growth indicates a market losing momentum

What this means

  • Deceleration without decline is the current pattern
  • This typically precedes either stabilisation (most likely) or a correction (if macro conditions worsen)

Burleigh Waters Sales Volume & Housing Supply

How active the market is and how much stock is available.

How Many Houses Sell in Burleigh Waters per Quarter?

Normal
  • Q1 2026: 54 house sales — right on the 10-year seasonal average (54.6)
  • Volume has been stable — no consecutive decline pattern
  • In supply-constrained markets, volume responds to conditions before prices

What this means

  • Stable volume with plateauing prices = a market in equilibrium, not distress
  • A sharp volume drop would be the first warning sign of trouble

Source: Fields Estate database. Updated monthly on the 1st. Next update: 1 April 2026.

How Active Is the Burleigh Waters Property Market?

  • Turnover rate measures the percentage of total housing stock that changes hands annually
  • Higher turnover = more liquid market with more data points for pricing
  • Burleigh Waters's turnover rate reflects its position as one of the Gold Coast's most active suburbs

What this means

  • Higher liquidity gives both buyers and sellers more confidence in pricing
  • A declining turnover rate can indicate either reduced demand or increased owner retention

Source: Fields Estate database. Updated monthly on the 1st. Next update: 1 April 2026.

How Many Houses Are for Sale in Burleigh Waters?

Low
  • Active listings remain constrained across the suburb
  • Low stock limits buyer choice but supports current price levels
  • New listings are flowing at a stable rate — no surge or drought

What this means

  • Supply remains the biggest structural factor underpinning prices
  • Until supply rises materially, sharp price declines are unlikely

Slowing
  • 23 days median — still fast by 10-year standards
  • Up from 14 days a year ago — consistent with early-stage cooling
  • Well-priced properties still sell quickly

What this means

  • Rising DOM is the most visible sign of the market shifting
  • Sellers need tighter pricing discipline; buyers have slightly more breathing room

Demand Drivers

Why Buyers Are Choosing Burleigh Waters

Structural
  • Premium family suburb positioned between Burleigh Heads beach and the M1 motorway — combining lifestyle with accessibility
  • Proximity to Burleigh Heads — one of the Gold Coast's most desirable coastal villages — drives consistent demand
  • Limited new land supply in an established residential area constrains stock and supports price retention
  • Strong school catchments and family-oriented housing stock attract long-term owner-occupiers
  • Southern Gold Coast's highest median house prices reflect sustained demand from a deep buyer pool

What this means

  • Supply-constrained suburbs with strong lifestyle appeal tend to hold value better during broader market downturns
  • Owner-occupier-dominated markets are generally more stable than investor-heavy suburbs — owners hold through cycles

What This Data Means for Buyers, Sellers & Investors in Burleigh Waters

Buyers

A stable market gives you time to be selective. Price growth has stalled, supply is limited but not shrinking. Use data rather than emotion to assess fair value.

Sellers

Still a workable market with constrained supply. Execution quality — pricing, presentation, agent selection — matters more in a plateau than during a boom.

Investors

Capital growth expectations should be modest in the near term. Focus on yield quality, holding costs at current rates, and the structural fundamentals of the suburb.
