Real Estate Market Update - Robina and the Gold Coast QLD - June 2026
The Gold Coast property market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience despite higher interest rates, ongoing cost-of-living pressures and increasing economic uncertainty.
Supply and Demand
Over the past two years, one of the strongest drivers of price growth has been the exceptionally low number of properties available for sale. While stock levels have now begun to rise, the increase needs to be viewed in context. Current supply remains significantly below the levels seen prior to 2020 and well below the peaks experienced between 2017 and 2019.
The Gold Coast stock level graph illustrates this clearly. After falling from approximately 10,000 properties on the market in 2018–2019 to lows below 4,000 properties in early 2026, stock levels have recently rebounded to around 4,800 properties. While this represents a meaningful increase in available listings, supply remains less than half of what was available during previous market cycles. This ongoing shortage continues to provide underlying support for property values.
A similar trend can be seen in Robina. Both houses and units experienced extremely low stock levels throughout 2024 and early 2025. In recent months, however, more sellers have entered the market, particularly in the apartment sector. Unit stock has risen from approximately 25 available properties at its low point to around 55 today, while house stock has increased from around 40 properties to approximately 65. Although this increase gives buyers more choice than they have had in recent years, available stock remains historically tight. Based on the long-term trends shown in the graphs, Robina continues to operate in an environment where demand generally exceeds supply.
From what I am seeing on the ground, buyer activity remains healthy, particularly for well-presented properties that are priced correctly. The increase in stock has reduced some of the urgency that characterised the post-COVID boom years, but quality homes and apartments continue to attract strong enquiry and competitive interest.
The relationship between supply, demand and price remains as relevant today as ever. While rising stock levels may moderate the pace of future price growth, the Gold Coast continues to face a structural shortage of housing relative to population growth. As a result, market conditions remain broadly supportive of property values, particularly in highly sought-after suburbs such as Robina.

Houses - Robina
The Robina house market has continued to perform strongly despite a modest increase in available stock over the past 12 months. While the number of houses listed for sale has risen from the record lows experienced in 2021 and 2022, supply remains historically tight.
Buyer demand remains healthy, although market conditions have become more balanced than the highly competitive environment experienced during the post-COVID boom. This is reflected in the average days on market, which currently sits at approximately 18 days. While slightly higher than the record lows of around 11 days recorded in 2022, properties are still selling considerably faster than the long-term average and well ahead of pre-pandemic levels.
Sales activity has also remained resilient, with approximately 390 house sales occurring annually in Robina. Although this is below the peak levels recorded during the heightened market activity of 2021 and 2022, transaction volumes have remained relatively stable over the past two years, indicating continued buyer confidence.
Most notably, house values have continued their long-term upward trajectory. The median house price in Robina has increased from approximately $650,000 a decade ago to around $1.6 million today. Over the past 12 months alone, the median house price rose from approximately $1.44 million to a peak above $1.60 million before stabilising around $1.59 million. This represents exceptional long-term growth and highlights the ongoing desirability of Robina as one of the Gold Coast's most sought-after residential suburbs.
Overall, the data suggests that while the market has moved away from the extreme seller conditions experienced in recent years, Robina houses remain in a fundamentally strong position, supported by limited supply, healthy buyer demand and a long-term trend of sustained capital growth.

Units - Robina
The Robina unit market has continued to be one of the strongest-performing sectors of the local property market, supported by sustained buyer demand, limited supply and strong long-term price growth.
Properties continue to sell relatively quickly despite increased economic uncertainty and a greater level of buyer caution than was evident in recent years. The average days on market currently sits at approximately 17 days, compared with 40 to 55 days during much of the period between 2018 and 2020. While this represents a slight increase from the record lows experienced during the post-COVID boom, apartments are still selling considerably faster than historical norms, reflecting the ongoing imbalance between supply and demand.
Sales volumes have normalised following the exceptionally high activity levels recorded in 2021 and 2022. Approximately 235 unit sales are currently occurring annually in Robina, compared with the peak of around 470 sales during the height of the market cycle. While transaction numbers have eased, the reduction is largely attributable to limited stock availability rather than a lack of buyer demand.
The strongest story remains capital growth. The median unit price in Robina has increased from approximately $410,000 ten years ago to almost $1 million today. Even over the past 12 months, median values have risen from around $825,000 to approximately $1 million, highlighting the continued strength of the apartment market despite higher interest rates and increased economic uncertainty.
Overall, the Robina unit market remains fundamentally strong, underpinned by limited supply and long-term population growth. However, the market has become noticeably more selective over the past 12 months. While prices continue to reach new highs and well-presented properties remain in demand, buyers are taking longer to make decisions and are generally more value-conscious than they were during the peak market conditions of 2021 and 2022. This aligns closely with what many sellers and agents are currently experiencing on the ground.

Summary and outlook
The Robina property market continues to be supported by relatively low stock levels, strong long-term population growth and a significant increase in property values over recent years. While supply has increased from the record lows experienced during the post-pandemic boom, both house and unit stock remain well below historical averages, helping to underpin prices across the suburb.
The data also highlights the strength of the market over the longer term. Median house prices have approached $1.6 million, while median unit prices are now nearing $1 million, representing substantial growth over the past decade. Properties are still selling relatively quickly, and available stock remains limited compared with previous market cycles.
However, statistics only tell part of the story.
On the ground, buyer behaviour has become noticeably more cautious during recent months. Ongoing economic uncertainty, cost-of-living pressures, global instability and concerns about future financial conditions have resulted in many buyers taking longer to make decisions. Buyers are conducting more research, attending multiple inspections and displaying a greater degree of hesitation before committing to a purchase.
While this change in sentiment is not yet fully reflected in many of the traditional market indicators, it is certainly being observed throughout the sales process. Properties that are well-presented and accurately priced continue to attract strong interest, however buyers are generally becoming more selective and value-conscious than they were during the peak market conditions of 2021 and 2022.
Looking ahead, the balance between increasing stock levels and buyer confidence will be one of the key factors influencing market performance. Whilst I believe the fundamental drivers supporting the Gold Coast and Robina markets remain strong, sellers should not assume that every property will achieve a premium result without careful preparation, presentation and pricing.
As always, local knowledge and accurate market advice are becoming increasingly important as the market transitions from an environment driven largely by scarcity to one where buyer confidence and property quality are playing a greater role in determining outcomes.
