The Redlands Coast continues to hold strong in Queensland’s ever- shifting property landscape.
According to the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), the state’s median house price hit $812,000 in the June 2025 quarter – but locally, prices are even higher. Many Redlands suburbs are now edging close to the million-dollar mark, with homes listed in the $800,000s and low $900,000s drawing heavy interest and fierce competition.
Agents report that properties advertised around $850,000 are often selling in the high eights or even brushing the $900,000s, depending on presentation and demand – a sign of strong yet sustainable growth.
For buyers, the biggest hurdle is often adjusting expectations. Many still hope to find a four-bedroom home with a double garage and generous backyard for under a million dollars – something that’s becoming increasingly rare.
Rising construction costs, land shortages, and ongoing population growth have reshaped what that budget can buy.
There are still quality homes below the million- dollar mark, but they move fast. Acting quickly, being finance-ready, and offering fair contract conditions can make all the difference.
Buyers who stay open-minded – perhaps compromising on block size, the age of the home, or proximity to the water – often find great opportunities in this competitive market.
For sellers, realism is just as important. Everyone wants the best price, but it’s essential to rely on hard data from a trusted agent rather than hearsay from friends or social media.
A good agent with strong communication and negotiation skills can be the difference between a good result and a great one.
Before listing, sellers should also think clearly about their goals. There’s often a figure you’d like to achieve and another you need to make your next move comfortably.
It’s worth reviewing your full financial picture, consulting your accountant or adviser, and ensuring each choice fits your long-term plans.
In the end, the Redlands property market remains a standout – steady, in demand, and full of opportunity for those who stay informed, flexible, and realistic about what today’s market truly offers.
