Market Snapshot: Bundaberg in Spring 2025

Median Values & Growth

Bundaberg’s median house price jumped from $515,000 in March 2024 to $585,000 by March 2025, a 13.6% annual increase. Projections suggest further 5–7% growth by year’s end, meaning delaying a purchase by six months could cost you around $17,500.

Supply & Demand Dynamics

Bundaberg remains tight on stock. Vacancy rates hover around 0.4%, and listings have dropped by 20% over three years—fueling upward price pressure.

However, large-scale development is underway: 12 new subdivision applications have been revealed, proposing 1,537 new housing lots across areas like Innes Park, Kalkie, Ashfield, Coral Cove, and Moore Park Beach.

Regional Momentum & Migration Trends

Bundaberg is attracting attention thanks to infrastructure, renewable energy, and a relaxed coastal lifestyle. Internal migration trends favour regional centres like Bundaberg for affordability and lifestyle advantages.

Property Journey: Awareness → Consideration → Decision

Awareness Stage

Key Takeaways for Everyone

Bundaberg is one of Queensland’s most affordable regional markets with rising prices and solid demand.

Days on market remain low—sometimes as fast as 17 days—highlighting strong buyer competition.

Coastal lifestyle, expanding population, and improving infrastructure further bolster its appeal.

Consideration Stage

For Sellers

Spring is your time to shine: market your property with professional staging, highlight leafy gardens, and use drone photography to capture the Bundaberg charm at its best.

Consider early spring listing to maximise buyer interest and market impact.

Be aware of new developments—read: competition—but established homes still enjoy appealing growth, especially with limited new supply inside the suburb. For Buyers & Investors

Fast-rising prices and scarce stock make timing critical—acting within six months could save you thousands.i

Suburbs like Kepnock, Innes Park, Ashfield, Elliott Heads are showing strong demand and growth - ideal for sellers or discerning buyers.

For investors, central areas such as Walkervale, Norville, Avenell Heights offer stable yields; coastal pockets like Bargara and Coral Cove offer lifestyle plus growth.

Decision Stage

Decide based on your goal: Buy now to lock in value and rental returns - or sell now to leverage market momentum.

If you’re an investor, rental demand is strong (median rents $620/week for houses, $505/week for units) and yields are solid.

Planning ahead? Watch those subdivision developments - they’ll shape supply in the next couple of years.
