Over the next 25 years, the Gold Coast is tipped to gain a whopping 400,000 new residents. That’s straight from the Queensland Government Statisticians Office, and it works out to around 16,000 people per year calling the coast home.
Now consider this: according to the ABS, the average household on the Gold Coast has 2.5 people. That means we’ll need about 6,400 new homes built every year just to keep up.
How many did the Gold Coast Council approve for 2024–25?
Only 2,057 dwellings. Yep, you read that right.
That’s a massive gap.
And gaps like this? They’re golden for smart property investors.
Property prices are climbing, and rental yields are following suit. Investors with their ear to the ground (or their mortgage broker on speed dial 👋) are already reaping the rewards.

A construction loan releases money in stages as your home is built, so repayments start small and grow, and understanding contracts, variations and extra costs before you sign helps keep the build on track.
With rates rising in 2026, fixed, variable and split loans each come with trade-offs in certainty, flexibility and cost, so the right choice depends on how you live and spend, not on guessing where rates go next.
Queensland first home buyers can currently draw on the federal 5% Deposit Scheme, a $30,000 grant for new homes and stamp duty concessions, but each has its own rules, and knowing how they fit together before you buy can make a real difference.
Whether you're just starting to explore your options or ready to move Mark and the team are here to help. Get in touch for a no-obligation chat and find out what's possible for your situation.
