Spring has arrived early on the Tweed Coast, and with it comes the year’s most promising market conditions. August delivered exactly what we expected: motivated buyers, multiple offers, and well-priced homes moving with remarkable speed. The numbers tell a compelling story of a market hitting its stride just as seasonal momentum builds.
Market Trends & What Buyers Need to Know
Speed is Everything – Properties under the $2 million mark are moving faster than ever. Well-priced homes aren’t just selling quickly, they’re generating multiple interested parties within days. Our average days on market continues to outpace regional trends significantly, with buyers needing to act decisively or risk missing opportunities entirely.
Contract Activity Surging – We’re seeing a notable increase in contracts requested, which tells us buyers aren’t just looking – they’re ready to secure properties. This shift from casual interest to serious action indicates genuine market strength and buyer confidence.
Off-Market Opportunities – The best deals continue to happen before properties hit the open market. Prepared buyers with finance ready and strong agent relationships are securing premium properties through early access arrangements. These transactions often happen within 48 hours of initial contact.
What This Means for Buyers
Finance First – Pre-approval isn’t optional anymore. Properties move too quickly for buyers still organising their finances. Have your lending sorted before you start seriously looking.
Stay Connected – Regular contact with your agent matters. The best opportunities go to buyers who’ve built relationships and proven they’re ready to move quickly when the right property appears.
Act Fast on Value – When a well-priced property appears, especially under $2 million, expect competition. Multiple parties are becoming standard, not exceptional.
Notable Sales & Success Stories
2 Shipstern Street, Kingscliff sold in just 3 days pre-auction for $3.25 million. Several interested parties competed for this architecturally designed home in Salt Village, proving the market’s appetite for quality contemporary properties. Sold by Shaun Cardillo and Nick Witheriff.
95 Cylinders Drive, Kingscliff achieved a landmark sale along the prestigious beachfront strip. While the price remains confidential, this transaction reinforces the strength of Kingscliff’s premier addresses. Sold by Carol Witheriff and Nick Witheriff.
8 Vanda Lane, Casuarina sold for $2,525,000 in just 20 days, generating over 30 enquiries and resulting in 6 contracts issued. This fantastic result demonstrates the continued strength of the Casuarina market. Sold by Brian Dangerfield.
66 Cylinders Drive, Kingscliff sold for $3 million, another strong result in the tightly-held Cylinders Drive precinct. Sold by Jordan Brown.
These results share common threads: quality presentation, realistic pricing, and strategic marketing that reaches the right buyers quickly.

Market Outlook
Seller’s Market Conditions – Current dynamics heavily favour vendors. Limited stock, multiple buyer interest, and quick sales create ideal selling conditions. Well-presented properties are achieving strong results with minimal market exposure.
Buyer Competition – Expect continued competition, particularly under $2 million. Multiple offers are becoming standard for well-priced properties in desirable locations.
Spring Momentum – Traditional spring market dynamics are amplifying current trends. Buyer activity typically peaks in September and October, suggesting continued strength ahead.
