Is It a Good Time to Buy Property on the Sunshine Coast?

Chris Pullen | Blue Wave Properties Strategies

The Sunshine Coast has long been one of Australia’s most desirable destinations—and in 2025, it remains a standout choice for homebuyers and investors alike. With strong population growth, ongoing infrastructure investment, and a high-quality coastal lifestyle, the question isn’t just “Is it a good time to buy?”—it’s “How do you make the most of it?”

At Blue Wave Property Strategies, now is an excellent time to enter the market—provided you have the right strategy and guidance.


🏡 What’s Driving the Sunshine Coast Property Market?

Over the past five years, median house prices across the Sunshine Coast have surged by more than 75%, with 2025 forecasts predicting a further 12–16% growth across key suburbs. But it’s not just the capital gains that are driving interest.

The region continues to benefit from:

  • Rapid population growth – Australians from major cities are relocating for a better lifestyle, work flexibility and more value for money.
  • Major infrastructure upgrades – The Maroochydore CBD development, airport expansion, hospital precincts and transport upgrades are fuelling job creation and enhancing liveability.
  • Extremely low vacancy rates – With less than 1% vacancy across many areas, rental demand is strong—offering reliable income for investors.
  • Diverse and growing economy – The Sunshine Coast has grown beyond tourism, with thriving industries in healthcare, education, construction, and tech.

It’s a region built not only for today—but for the future.
