By Leigh Martinuzzi | Martinuzzi Property Group – eXp Australia
For houses in the suburb of Buderim, the current median price is approximately $1,318,500 with units around $755,000. Annual growth for houses is in the range of 5%–6% while units have experienced stronger growth, around 9%–13%. In the past 12 months around 460 houses and 230 units have sold.
Buyer Demand and Activity
Demand in Buderim remains firm, though some moderation is evident. One report notes house buyer demand is essentially flat, while unit buyer demand has seen a modest pick‑up. While a precise head‑count of active buyers is not publicly available, listings show over 600 properties currently for sale in Buderim, indicative of real buyer interest and market activity.
There are currently around 217 properties for sale and 112 rental listings in Buderim. For houses, median weekly rent is about $880 pw (yield ~3.6%), and for units about $650 pw (yield ~4.1%) in the latest data.
Overall Market Conditions
The Buderim market is best described as favouring sellers. With median house prices above $1.3 m and robust unit growth, plus relatively limited rental yields for houses, competition remains strong for desirable homes. Unit investors however are seeing better yields which softens the position slightly. Inventory is not excessive, buyer demand is steady, and price growth continues in both segments which are all signs of a healthy but dynamic market.
In recent weeks, a three‑bedroom home in Buderim sold for approximately $1,315,000 (3 Lichen Court) and a four‑bedroom home at 10 Forest Rise Court achieved around $1,500,000. These transactions reflect the upper segment of the mid‑market and confirm that properties with quality, location and land‑size are still commanding strong prices in Buderim.
Why It Matters for Buyers and Sellers
Buderim continues to deliver attractive capital growth where houses have gained more than 70% in value over the past five years and units nearly 86%. With median values now well into the $1.3 m range for houses, the suburb underscores its premium‑lifestyle status on the Sunshine Coast. For investors, unit yields around 4% make the unit market more appealing than houses, though houses deliver stronger long‑term capital appreciation. Broader dynamics such as Sunshine Coast lifestyle migration, limited supply of prime homes and steady interstate interest all support underlying demand.
For sellers in Buderim: you are in a strong position. With limited high‑quality stock and continued buyer demand, properties that are well presented, have good land size/location and are competitively priced are likely to sell well. For buyers: while entry prices are high and competition remains, strategic buying, focusing on homes that offer future upside (land size, position, amenity) can still yield solid returns. For investors: consider units for better yield, but remain mindful of the value of capital growth for houses in the long horizon.
