Why Sydney & Melbourne Buyers Are Flocking to the Gold Coast Property Market

Why Sydney & Melbourne Buyers Are Flocking to the Gold Coast Property Market?

The Gold Coast is no longer just a holiday hotspot – it has become one of Australia’s most desirable places to live and invest. In 2025, a growing number of buyers from Sydney and Melbourne are making the move north.

Here’s why:

1. The Price Gap

A three-bedroom home in Sydney’s Northern Beaches often costs between $2–4 million. On the Gold Coast, similar properties are available from $1.2–2 million. Investors are recognising the value gap – securing premium property at almost half the price.

2. Lifestyle Upgrade

From beachside living and year-round sunshine to world-class schools and expanding infrastructure, the Gold Coast offers the perfect balance of lifestyle and convenience. For buyers wanting to escape congestion and long commutes, the appeal is clear.

3. Investment Growth

Interstate migration continues to fuel demand, with strong population growth and rental shortages pushing yields higher. With the runway to the 2032 Olympics, infrastructure upgrades and international recognition are driving long-term capital growth.

4. Access to Off-Market Opportunities

Many of the best homes and apartments never make it to the public market. By working with a Gold Coast Buyers Agent, Sydney and Melbourne investors can access these off-market properties before the competition.
