The Gold Coast has just made history in the property market. For the first time, its median house price has climbed higher than Brisbane’s, signaling a major shift in buyer demand. Lifestyle locations are becoming the new hot spots for growth.
In a rare twist, the Gold Coast now has a median house price of $1.32 million — higher than Brisbane’s. This milestone highlights the shifting demand toward coastal and lifestyle regions, where limited supply is meeting surging buyer interest. Analysts point to migration from southern states, lifestyle buyers seeking “sea change” opportunities, and ongoing demand from interstate investors. While Brisbane remains a competitive market, regional Queensland’s momentum is reshaping property trends and putting the spotlight on non-capital growth hotspots.
