🌟 Surfers Paradise 2026: Prestige, Price Growth & a Tight Market
Surfers Paradise has long been the Gold Coast’s most iconic suburb — and in 2026, it’s clear that prestige property in the area is more desirable than ever. With record median price growth, limited stock, and a high level of buyer interest across the luxury market, now is an ideal time to sell, especially if you own a three-bedroom home.
The latest figures reveal that the median sale price for 3-bedroom houses in Surfers Paradise has hit $2.44 million, up a massive 33.7% in just 12 months. This follows another strong growth period in 2024, when the median rose by 35.2% from $1.35 million in 2023.

💡 What’s Driving the Market?
Several key factors are contributing to this growth:
Limited stock – Only 15 three-bedroom homes sold in the past year, creating scarcity and competition.
Demand from interstate buyers – Many buyers from Sydney and Melbourne continue to relocate to the Gold Coast for lifestyle and investment.
Surfers Paradise lifestyle appeal – Beach access, shopping, dining, light rail, and entertainment hubs make it an ideal destination.
Luxury redevelopment – New high-end homes and renovated properties are setting price benchmarks, particularly in Chevron Island, Isle of Capri, and Budds Beach.
Strong rental returns – With a median weekly rent of $1,199, investors are also active, drawn by the dual appeal of yield and capital growth.
