Richmond-Tweed Listed As Top Real Estate Profit Region.
2026 has proven that a volatile market will take the real estate industry in swings and roundabouts. Understandably this can shake the confidence of buyers and sellers alike, however encouraging new data has revealed that the Richmond-Tweed area is one of the top profit regions in the country. While many markets have softened due to budget tax changes, oil prices, the cost-of-living crisis and interest rate hikes due to inflation, it seems the Richmond-Tweed region has sustained a healthy profit margin for sellers over the past 12 months. New stats from PropTrack data tells an interesting story which shows that properties in the Richmond-Tweed region gained a whopping 95.7% growth profit on resales over the past 12 months. This works out to be a median profit of $453,000 on the properties sold marking it as the eight most profitable region in New South Wales. Coming in at the top of the list was Sydney’s Northern Beaches which saw a growth of 96.3% and a median profit of $810,000 on properties sold over the same period. Given that Sydney is home to the country’s most expensive suburbs, it’s clear that the Richmond-Tweed region is fast becoming one of the most sought-after areas as it undergoes a major era of growth. Driving these huge growth profits are areas in the Richmond-Tweed like Byron Bay, Casuarina and Kingscliff. We first saw an upward trend in these regions in the COVID-19 boom around 2021 which saw many of these markets outpace value growth compared to many of Australia’s capital cities. In some coveted suburbs in the Tweed Coast we are seeing considerable profit margins especially Cylinders Drive, Kingscliff where the Witheriff Group has secured over $100 million in sales over the past 12 months. One off-market sale at 55 Cylinders Drive shows how far this region has come. The luxury beachfront property was last sold in 2019 for $3.5 million and recently went unconditional for $9 million marking it as a street record. These pockets in the Richmond-Tweed region are continuing to show their value with year-on-year growth while other regions soften. Property price growth is now expected to remain flat across the major capital cities over 2026, down from its previous forecast of 5% growth. The Richmond-Tweed region is now experiencing a sustained period of growth proving now is the perfect time for sellers to make their next move.

Pottsville Emerges As Top Affordable Coastal Suburb.
Salt in the air. Morning beach walks. A relaxed pace of life. Getting a slice of coastal property is something dreams are made of. However, with low stock and increased demand, finding the perfect property within budget makes this dream harder to land. Unless you’re looking in the right places. Enter: Pottsville Beach, Australia. According to new data released by Domain, this Tweed Coast suburb has emerged as one of the most affordable postcodes for prospective buyers chasing a coastal property. The stats show that median house prices in Pottsville averaged $1,365,000 in 2025 and garnered a healthy increase of 7.5% annually. When you think about the hefty price points on properties in Byron Bay, which average around $2.5 million, for a considerable cut from the top line and just 30 minutes north you can land yourself a pretty spectacular coastal property in Pottsville. Citysiders might scoff at the prospect of purchasing a coastal property for under $1.5 million, but Pottsville is showing us that premium land is attainable. Why is Pottsville real estate so attractive to property buyers? At the Witheriff Group we pride ourselves on keeping dialled in to the market trends and having a keen understanding of suburbs with accelerating demand. We recently unveiled our new office in Pottsville partnering with tenured the tenured agents Shannon and Katie Kofoed who have serviced the area with great expertise under the Pottsville Properties business. This new era of expansion allows us to tap into the booming Pottsville real estate trend that has become increasingly sought after by buyers, sellers and investors. So, why is Pottsville real estate so attractive to property buyers? We sat down with Shannon and Katie Kofoed to gain some insights into why Pottsville real estate has experienced a huge moment of growth for those looking to secure a coastal property. Firstly, Shannon says Pottsville provides incredible value you when comparing prices to surrounding suburbs along the Tweed Coast. “As far as the coast is concerned, prices go up when you head north and prices go up when you head south,” Shannon says. “We’ve always represented better value to the areas around us. Once you hit Byron Shire, you know, your prices go up by almost a million.” To secure a coastal property at a median price of $1.5 million and still have the proximity to places like Byron Bay and the Gold Coast – the value of a Pottsville property speaks for itself. “If you want to be on the Tweed coast and have the attachment to all of the facilities and services that are on the Gold Coast and to still be within 10 minutes of Casuarina and Kingscliff – you can’t beat that,” Shannon says. For Katie Kofoed, who has grown up in the Pottsville area, she has seen the suburb evolve over time while still holding on to the charm of a quaint coastal town. “When I would say I grew up in Pottsville a lot of people didn’t know where it was,” Katie says. “And then that growth in influence of city buyers coming here during the COVID-19 period really started to spread the word.” There’s a lot to love about Pottsville. Now that it is firmly on the map, people are coming here and falling under the spell of its village-feel with a population of just under 7,000 people. The Pottsville weather is always on point with a trip down to the calm waters of Mooball Creek on the cards and a stop in at Baker and Farmer is a must-visit for a brekkie roll. And yes when people catch wind of an emerging vibrant coastal community, suddenly highly polished outfits like the award-winning, sustainable restaurant Pipit comes to town, bringing with it an influx of well-heeled customers. So goes the mechanics of why some regional coastal towns catch the wind of growth – someone comes to visit, they fall in love with the charm of the area and then purchasing a slice of property becomes a reality. The rest is history, as they say. An opportunity to buy well before the great regional migration boom. If you look at the most expensive coastal suburbs in NSW it’s not hard to see why people are searching for prospects that give them better value. For those well priced out of the Byron Shire, Pottsville real estate opens up a whole new world of opportunities for buyers and investors. With statistics showing Pottsville real estate as a great entry point for those wanting to secure a coastal property for under $1.5 million it’s a (terribly kept) secret that will only increase in demand over the coming years and decades. According to figures released by the NSW Government Planning department, regional NSW will grow by 600,000 people to reach 3.8 million by 2041. That’s a lot of people looking for a sea change. Their numbers show that this growth will be most keenly felt in areas around Tweed, Ballina, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie with families and retirees seeking affordable property in coastal suburbs. Regional areas are experiencing rapid growth which presents buyers, sellers and investors a window to strike before the big migration boom that is expected to swell in coming decades. What does this mean for buyers, sellers and investors? At Witheriff Group we understand how important it is to keep a close ear to market trends and deliver a premium service based on the wants and needs of buyers, sellers and investors. Under the guidance of Shannon and Katie Kofoed we’re able to distil these emerging market findings and provide meaningful intel on how to best service our clients. Shannon says that Pottsville provides buyers and investors with unmatched diversity with options for coastal units, four-bedroom homes and sprawling acreage available in the area. In a hot rental market, the median weekly price for a four-bedroom property in Pottsville is $930 which provides an attractive yield for prospective investors. For sellers these four-bedroom homes are in demand with
2025: The Year Witheriff Group Came Into Its Own
One year ago, we hung our own sign. Witheriff Group became an independent brand, and everything that’s happened since has confirmed we made the right call. This isn’t just a recap. It’s recognition of what our team achieved, what our clients trusted us with, and what this community made possible. Twelve months of selling homes, breaking records, building something worth being proud of. The Market This Year Kingscliff houses reached a median of $2,015,000 – up 10.4% for the year. Cabarita pushed to $2,045,000 with 13.6% growth. Both markets moved faster than usual, with properties averaging 66-68 days on market compared to the broader regional average of 155 days. What drove it? Limited stock meeting sustained demand. Interstate buyers continued arriving – downsizers from Sydney and Melbourne, remote workers, investors seeking coastal yields. Many came with cash. The competition for quality properties remained genuine throughout the year. If you’re thinking about selling in 2026, these conditions haven’t fundamentally changed. Stock remains tight. Buyer interest remains strong. Well-priced properties in good locations continue to move. Transactions That Defined the Year Some sales stand out because they shift what’s possible. The AMARETTO penthouse sold for $7.5 million in May – the highest unit transaction in Tweed Coast history. Shaun Cardillo worked with interstate buyers who recognised what absolute beachfront in Kingscliff represents. That sale reset the benchmark for what apartments in this market can achieve. 83 Cylinders Drive changed hands in late 2024 for $8.35 million. The prestige beachfront strip continues to attract buyers who understand scarcity. These addresses don’t come up often, and when they do, serious money follows. 27 Habitat Drive, Casuarina established a new suburb record for non-beachfront properties. Nick Witheriff closed it following our Spring Auction Event, proving that buyers recognise quality beyond the immediate sand line. 68 Cylinders Drive sold in late 2024 in one week for $3 million. 2 Shipstern Street moved in three days pre-auction for $3.25 million. 8 Vanda Lane generated over 30 enquiries and six contracts in 20 days. When properties are priced correctly and presented properly, the market responds. Two Events That Brought Buyers and Sellers Together Our Spring Auction Event in September delivered $42 million in sales. Eight properties sold under the hammer, with more under negotiation. We raised $52,500 for The Shift Project Byron Bay – crisis accommodation and support for people who need it most. 1,051 enquiries, 458 buyers met, 158 attendees in the room. These events work because they create genuine competition among motivated parties. Careful preparation, accurate pricing, and the right people in the right room. In October, we celebrated our first birthday with an in-room auction event that produced real outcomes. Nine listings presented. Five sold – two before auction day, one under offer hours before the event, one the following day, and 17 Pavilion Court under the hammer for $2,250,000. Four more under negotiation. A proper way to mark our first year operating independently. The Team That Made It Happen Jordan Brown earned Highly Commended Employee of the Year at the Tweed Coast Business Awards. Recognition of a massive twelve months – consistent results, satisfied clients, the kind of work that builds a reputation one transaction at a time. We welcomed Jasmine Holland as Marketing Manager, bringing experience from Salt PM and fresh thinking about how to position properties and build our presence. Rocco Rachiele joined with a background in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs luxury market, adding sharp negotiation skills and a global perspective. Brooke Morris returned to handle Holiday Property Management for Salt PM and Project Sales Support for Witheriff Group. Amelie Holdom came aboard as Sales Support Specialist, ensuring campaigns run smoothly from first listing to final settlement. Kirsty Pujol joined as Executive Assistant and Sales Associate, bringing over 18 years of real estate experience across marketing, operations, and executive support in luxury property environments. Every person who works here contributes to what we’ve built. The sales team, the admin support, the people who answer phones and organise inspections and solve problems that clients never see. Thank you. What we achieved this year happened because you showed up and did the work. Developments Worth Watching SOLIS Pottsville is now complete. PIPER reached 80% sold with three left, completion early 2026. Marine & Pearl relaunched to market after selling 50% in its initial release, with oceanfront units still available on Marine Parade. Kai Kingscliff progresses at Dreamtime Beach – 14 beachfront residences with 20kW solar and green roofs. CABA Residences continues attracting downsizers seeking boutique beachside living. For buyers considering off-the-plan, these projects offer phased payment structures and the ability to secure position before completion. For those preferring established stock, the competition from these developments hasn’t softened demand for quality existing homes. Infrastructure That’s Reshaping the Region Tweed Valley Hospital opened in May 2024 – $723 million, 430 beds, world-class healthcare five minutes from Kingscliff town centre. For families and retirees who need accessible medical services, this changes what living here means. TAFE NSW Kingscliff received $33.7 million for upgrades. Kingscliff Public School added 32 new classrooms. The Tweed CBD secured $1.9 million for revitalisation. M1 upgrades continue cutting travel times to Brisbane. Gold Coast Airport’s international wing keeps both suburbs within a 15-minute transfer. These projects address the concerns buyers have when considering a move to the region. Healthcare, education, connectivity – the infrastructure is catching up to the lifestyle appeal. What 2026 Looks Like Interest rates peaked during 2025, with multiple cuts since made. That’s brought more buyers into the market. At the same time, new supply remains constrained – construction costs and development timelines mean the shortage of quality stock isn’t resolving quickly. For sellers, the window remains favourable. Buyer demand hasn’t softened, and the competition for well-positioned properties continues. If you’ve been considering a move, the conditions that made 2025 strong haven’t changed. For buyers, patience and preparation matter more than speed. Properties are moving quickly, but not so quickly that proper due diligence becomes impossible. Get your finance sorted,
Kingscliff & Cabarita Property Market: What to Expect in Early 2026
After a year of double-digit growth, record sales, and persistent buyer demand, the question on most people’s minds is simple: what happens next? Based on the trends we tracked through 2025, here’s what buyers and sellers can reasonably expect in Kingscliff and Cabarita over the first quarter of 2026. Where Prices Finished 2025 Kingscliff houses reached a median of $2,015,000 – up 10.4% for the year. Cabarita pushed slightly higher at $2,045,000 with 13.6% annual growth. The unit markets told different stories. Kingscliff units grew modestly at 1.9%, while Cabarita apartments surged 30.7%. That Cabarita figure reflects specific supply constraints and the impact of premium developments hitting settlement, rather than broad-based apartment growth. These aren’t speculative gains. Properties sold in 66-68 days on average – less than half the 155-day regional benchmark. When stock moves that quickly, prices reflect genuine competition rather than inflated expectations. Stock Levels Remain Tight The supply picture hasn’t changed. Active listings in both suburbs sat well below five-year averages throughout 2025, and nothing suggests a flood of new stock in early 2026. Construction costs and development timelines continue limiting new supply. The projects currently underway – SOLIS, PIPER, Marine & Pearl, Kai Kingscliff – will add quality stock when they complete, but not enough to fundamentally shift the supply-demand balance. For buyers, this means continued competition for well-positioned properties. For sellers, it means the scarcity that supported 2025 prices remains in place. Interstate Demand Isn’t Slowing Throughout 2025, interstate buyers accounted for roughly two-thirds of enquiries across both suburbs. Sydney and Melbourne downsizers, remote workers, investors seeking coastal yields – these buyer groups drove competition and supported prices at levels local demand alone couldn’t sustain. That pattern shows no sign of reversing. The factors drawing interstate buyers – lifestyle appeal, relative value compared to capital city markets, improved infrastructure, Gold Coast Airport accessibility – remain in place. If anything, potential interest rate cuts in 2026 could bring more buyers into the market who’ve been waiting on the sidelines. What Early 2026 Looks Like January and February typically see the lowest stock levels of the year, combined with the highest search traffic on property portals. Motivated sellers list. Buyers who missed out in 2025 return with fresh urgency. Competition concentrates on whatever comes to market. This creates specific conditions worth understanding: For buyers: Less choice, but also less competition from casual lookers. The sellers listing in January are motivated – holiday sales, relocations, decisions made over Christmas. Properties may move quickly, so preparation matters. Get finance sorted before you start inspecting seriously. For sellers: Fewer competing listings means more attention on your property. Buyer pools include people who’ve been searching for months and are ready to act. If you’re considering selling in the first half of 2026, listing early puts you in front of this concentrated demand before stock levels lift in autumn. Price Expectations Predicting exact price movements is a mug’s game, but the conditions that supported 2025 growth haven’t disappeared. Stock remains constrained. Interstate demand continues. Interest rates appear to have peaked, with potential cuts ahead. Infrastructure investment – the hospital, school upgrades, transport improvements – keeps reinforcing the region’s appeal. None of this guarantees continued double-digit growth. Markets don’t move in straight lines. But the fundamentals that made Kingscliff and Cabarita outperform broader regional markets through 2025 remain intact heading into 2026. Buyers hoping for significant price drops will likely be disappointed. Sellers expecting another 10%+ year should temper expectations. Somewhere in between – continued demand meeting limited supply, with prices holding firm or growing modestly – seems the most reasonable outlook. The Practical Takeaway If you’re buying, act when you find the right property rather than waiting for conditions that may not arrive. The competition for quality stock isn’t going away. If you’re selling, the market remains favourable. Well-priced properties in good locations continue to attract genuine interest and move within reasonable timeframes. If you’re watching from the sidelines, the data suggests waiting won’t dramatically change your position. The factors driving this market are structural, not cyclical. They’ll take years to shift, not months. Early 2026 offers opportunity for buyers and sellers who are prepared to act. The question isn’t whether the market will cooperate – it’s whether you’re ready when the right property or the right buyer appears.
Spring into SOLD: Witheriff Group’s Premier Auction Event Returns to the Tweed Coast
The success of February’s auction event sent a clear message across the Tweed Coast property market – when quality properties meet motivated buyers in a curated setting, exceptional results follow. Now, as spring awakens buyer interest and market momentum builds, Witheriff Group is preparing to deliver another landmark auction event that promises to showcase the very best of coastal premium property.

Spring traditionally marks the property market’s most active period, with serious purchasers emerging with refined briefs and ready capital. For vendors with premium coastal properties, this seasonal shift creates ideal conditions for competitive bidding and exceptional results. The timing couldn’t be better. Recent market data shows sustained buyer demand across the Tweed Coast, particularly from interstate purchasers seeking lifestyle properties with genuine scarcity value. The combination of limited quality stock and heightened demand creates perfect conditions for auction success. Why Sell This Spring? Heightened Buyer Demand: Spring buyers are serious buyers. After winter’s quiet period, motivated purchasers return with clear criteria and ready finances.

These results proved that quality coastal properties thrive in the auction environment.

Sellers’ Paradise: Why Demand Is Outstripping Supply on the Tweed Coast
In 2025, the Tweed Coast has hit its stride. Demand is high, stock is scarce, and sellers who’ve been waiting for the right moment have found themselves in the strongest negotiating position they’ve had in years. The Numbers Don’t Lie In Casuarina, just 41 houses sold in the past 12 months. Kingscliff saw only 120. That’s not a sign of a slow market – it’s a sign of a market with more buyers than listings. Add to that the fact that most homes are selling within 61 to 68 days, and you’ve got a real estate climate where well-priced, well-presented properties are moving fast and often with multiple interested parties in play. So, what’s behind the squeeze? Who’s Buying – And Why They Move Fast It starts with who’s buying. We’re seeing a steady wave of interstate sea-changers, particularly from Sydney and Melbourne, who are trading city bustle for beachside calm. Many are equity-rich downsizers arriving cash-ready, having sold in premium metro suburbs and now looking to anchor themselves in the Northern Rivers lifestyle. They’re not just dipping their toes – they’re diving in, often bypassing finance entirely and making quick, clean offers. Alongside them are equity-rich upsizers – locals who bought 5 to 10 years ago and are now trading up. These buyers have weathered the rate rises of the past 18 months with confidence. They’re not rattled by the Reserve Bank. They’ve got strong equity positions and clear long-term plans, especially those looking to secure a family home within walking distance to the beach, schools, or village amenities. This blend of committed, well-financed buyers is creating an environment where listings are highly competitive. Even with higher interest rates, properties are achieving excellent results – particularly those that are turnkey, architecturally unique, or close to the water. Sellers Hold the Cards We’re also seeing the impact play out in negotiations. The average discount from asking price has narrowed to just 5-6%, according to recent sales data. That’s low by historical standards, and it speaks volumes about buyer urgency and seller leverage. In a more balanced market, those figures would sit closer to 8-10%. Here, we’re dealing with a different tempo – less hesitation, more decisiveness. Another clear marker of the current conditions? The rise of off-market sales. More homes are changing hands without ever hitting the public portals. In many cases, these are high-quality properties quietly matched with ready buyers from our database. This method allows vendors to test the waters discreetly and often results in a faster, smoother deal at a premium price. The Opportunity Is Now For sellers, all of this adds up to one thing: opportunity. You don’t need to wait for a boom or a ‘perfect market’. You’re in it. If you own a quality home in Kingscliff or Casuarina, particularly one with lifestyle appeal – think north-facing yards, proximity to the beach, or a strong architectural footprint – now is the time to consider your options. These markets have transformed from hidden gems to luxury benchmarks, and with low stock, strong demand, and tight negotiation margins, sellers currently hold the upper hand. That said, success still hinges on strategy. Presentation, pricing, and agent selection matter more than ever. The most effective campaigns today are those that blend digital reach with hyperlocal knowledge – tailored messaging that speaks to the right buyer pool, not just broad exposure. What We’re Seeing on the Ground At Witheriff Group, we’re seeing firsthand how well-prepared sellers are reaping the rewards. Properties that once might’ve taken 90 days to move are now selling in under 60. Multiple-offer situations are becoming the norm. And buyer competition is helping to lift prices – not just hold them steady. This is the kind of market that doesn’t last forever. Eventually, more stock will come online. Interest rates may stabilise. Buyer urgency could taper. But for now, the imbalance remains clear: more buyers than homes. If you’re thinking about selling in 2025, timing is everything. And this market is telling us that the time is now. Let’s have a conversation about how to make it work for you. Further Reading & Market Research
Why We Became Witheriff Group: An Interview with Founder Nick Witheriff
For years, our team has been helping buyers and sellers navigate the property market in Casuarina, Kingscliff, and beyond. In late 2024, we took a significant step forward, launching Witheriff Group as an independent agency. More than just a name change, this move was about evolving with the market and ensuring we could better serve our clients. We sat down with our founder, Nick Witheriff, to discuss why the change was made, what it means for buyers and sellers, and how Witheriff Group is shaping the future of real estate in the Northern Rivers. Nick, what motivated you to make a change to the business? I realised that real estate was evolving, and I wanted to build an agency that reflected that shift. The goal was to create a company that truly prioritises the needs of our clients, offering a more personalised and hands-on approach to buying and selling property. Casuarina, Kingscliff, and the Tweed Coast are such unique markets, and I wanted to ensure we had the flexibility to adapt, innovate, and make decisions that best serve the people buying and selling here. By becoming an independent agency, we now have the ability to fine-tune how we operate, ensuring everything we do is designed around what works best for our clients—not what suits a larger corporate structure. What specific changes did you implement? The biggest focus has been on creating a boutique real estate experience. I’ve built a team of dedicated local experts who know this market inside and out, including myself, Brian and Denise Dangerfield, Jordan Brown, and Carol Witheriff. By working together, we can provide deeper insights, more tailored advice, and a level of service that feels truly personal. We’ve also redefined how we market our properties. Buyers interact with real estate differently today than they did even a few years ago, so we’ve made sure our approach is targeted, data-driven, and innovative. How do these changes enhance client service? For us, real estate is about more than just transactions. Whether someone is buying a beachfront home, a low-maintenance apartment, or a family house, it’s a major decision. Our role is to guide them through that process in a way that feels transparent and stress-free. By focusing on clear communication and tailored advice, we ensure clients feel supported at every stage—whether they’re preparing their home for sale, searching for the right property, or negotiating a deal. For sellers, this means having a strategy that ensures their property stands out in the market. For buyers, it means getting access to the right opportunities—often before they even hit the market. What changes can we expect to see with your new direction? Marketing is a major focus. Our team now has over 15 years of specialist marketing experience, and we’ve shifted towards high-impact, strategic campaigns designed to showcase properties in the best possible light. The way buyers search for homes today is highly visual and digital, so we’re using strategies that ensure the right buyers see the right properties at the right time. Alongside this, we’re bringing deeper market insights to the table, giving our clients the information they need to make smart decisions. In what ways do you believe these changes benefit clients? Ultimately, it’s about improving the overall experience. By combining local knowledge, a more personal approach, and strong marketing, we can help our clients feel confident in their decisions, whether they’re buying or selling. The Northern Rivers property market is competitive, and by taking a considered, well-researched approach, we’re giving our clients the best possible chance of achieving their property goals. What’s next for Witheriff Group? This is just the beginning. We’re excited to be operating as an independent agency and to continue helping buyers and sellers in this incredible part of the world. The focus remains on delivering great results, supporting our clients, and staying at the forefront of what’s happening in the market. For us, this isn’t about changing who we are—it’s about refining what we do so we can offer an even better service to the people we work with. Want to learn more about Witheriff Group?
