By Leigh Martinuzzi | Martinuzzi Property Group – eXp Australia
The Burnside Property Market Update for October 2025 shows continued strength across this sought-after Sunshine Coast suburb. In Burnside (postcode 4560), the housing market continues to perform well with steady price growth and strong buyer interest.
In Burnside, the housing market continues to perform well with steady price growth and strong buyer interest. The median house price now sits at $897,500, representing a 12.2% annual increase. Rental demand remains robust, with the median rent at $695 per week, translating to a gross rental yield of around 4.1%.
The unit market is smaller but remains consistent, with a median price of approximately $668,000 and annual growth near 6.3%. Unit rental yields are sitting close to 4.45%, offering investors a solid balance between income and growth potential.
Over the past 12 months, there have been around 60 house sales across the suburb. The average days on market currently sits at 34, suggesting that well-priced and well-presented properties are continuing to attract quick interest from active buyers.
Buyer Demand & Active Buyers
Buyer competition in Burnside remains firm, particularly within the $800,000 to $1.2 million bracket where family homes continue to generate high enquiry levels. Properties that are move-in ready and located close to schools or town conveniences are experiencing strong inspection turnout.
Realestate.com.au activity continues to show solid engagement, with high enquiry rates relative to the number of listings. This level of buyer activity, coupled with limited new supply, signals that Burnside remains a high-demand pocket of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Inventory & Rental Market
Inventory levels across Burnside remain tight. With relatively few properties coming to market each month, buyers are competing for a smaller pool of available homes. This scarcity is helping to underpin price stability and maintain the suburb’s steady capital growth.
The rental market is following a similar pattern. Vacancy rates remain very low across the region, driving rental competition and reinforcing investor confidence in Burnside’s long-term performance.
Burnside Property Market Conditions
Burnside is currently positioned in a seller’s market, underpinned by rising prices, short selling times, and strong buyer interest. Quality homes are selling within weeks, and properties that are well presented continue to outperform expectations.
Investors are also benefiting from consistent rental demand and sustainable yields. Buyers, however, are facing a more competitive landscape, particularly for properties under $900,000.
Recent Sales Spotlight
A standout recent sale was 52 Coes Creek Road, Burnside, a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a generous 4,898 m² parcel which sold for $1,320,000. The blend of usable land and modern presentation helped it achieve a premium result.
Another notable sale was 28 Tramline Rise, sold in August 2025 for $1,135,000, showcasing the continued strength of the mid-to-upper end of the Burnside market. Meanwhile, 13 Grimes Terrace achieved $1,250,000 in July, demonstrating ongoing buyer confidence for quality, family-friendly homes in the suburb.
Why Does It Matter?
Burnside’s ongoing capital growth highlights its strong appeal among local and relocating buyers seeking a balance of lifestyle and value. With a median approaching the $900,000 mark, Burnside continues to close the gap with nearby hinterland suburbs while offering strong fundamentals for both homeowners and investors.
Low stock levels, consistent buyer interest, and solid rental performance all point to sustained demand heading into the summer selling season.
My Final Take
The Burnside market continues to move in favour of sellers, with well-priced homes achieving swift results and impressive prices. For homeowners considering selling, now is an ideal time to prepare your property and capitalise on active buyer demand.
Buyers should ensure their finance is pre-approved and be ready to move quickly when quality opportunities arise. For investors, Burnside’s rental strength and growth consistency make it an attractive addition to any portfolio.
