Nambour Market Update, Sunshine Coast — October 14, 2025
By Leigh Martinuzzi | Martinuzzi Property Group – eXp Australia
Nambour’s housing market continues to show steady momentum this spring. The median house price now sits at $801,500, reflecting 7.6 % growth year-on-year, according to realestate.com.au. Over the past 12 months, 182 houses have sold locally, with properties spending an average of 29 days on market before being snapped up.
For units, the median price has reached $573,000, marking an impressive 12.4 % annual increase. Units are moving even faster, averaging just 21 days on market, with 104 units sold in the last 12 months. These figures highlight a well-balanced market where both house and unit segments continue to attract strong buyer activity.
Buyer Demand & Active Buyers
Buyer demand remains one of Nambour’s strongest stories. Realestate.com.au is currently reporting 4,314 active buyers searching for houses and an additional 331 buyers looking for units in the area.
This sustained level of demand underscores Nambour’s appeal, particularly for those seeking lifestyle value, larger blocks, and relative affordability compared to coastal centres. The elevated number of active buyers also means competition is healthy, especially for well-presented properties in desirable pockets.
Inventory & Rental Market
On the rental front, conditions remain tight. Median weekly rent for houses has increased 3.2 % year-on-year, now sitting at $650 per week. Rental demand is strong, with homes spending an average of just 15 days on the market before securing tenants. Over the past 12 months, 202 properties have been leased, reinforcing the suburb’s reputation as a sought-after location for both tenants and investors.
This combination of steady capital growth and competitive rental yields keeps Nambour attractive for investors seeking balanced performance and ongoing demand.
Nambour Property Market Conditions
Overall, Nambour continues to operate in a seller’s market. Shorter days on market, rising prices, and high buyer interest all suggest sellers are in a favourable position this quarter. At the same time, buyers who are pre-approved and ready to act quickly can still uncover good value, particularly in older homes with renovation potential or units near key transport and shopping hubs.
Recent Sales Spotlight
A number of recent transactions highlight the current buyer appetite in Nambour. 19 Elizabeth Way achieved $792,500, while 62 Hillcrest Avenue sold for $820,100, both demonstrating strong demand for well-located family homes.
Meanwhile, 5 Dolphin Drive reached $880,000, showcasing that premium-positioned properties continue to command top-end prices. Each of these sales reflects the broader market trend of buyers prioritising lifestyle, space, and proximity to key amenities.
Why Does It Matter?
With consistent annual growth, 7.6 % for houses and 12.4 % for units, Nambour is firmly on the radar for both investors and owner-occupiers. The suburb’s affordability compared to coastal counterparts, coupled with strong rental activity and growing infrastructure in the hinterland corridor, makes it a compelling choice. The continued increase in active buyers and limited supply suggest prices are likely to remain resilient through the end of 2025.
My Final Take
Nambour’s market remains vibrant, with sellers benefiting from low inventory and sustained buyer interest. For homeowners considering a move, now is an excellent time to capitalise on the current momentum. Buyers, meanwhile, should come to market well-prepared.
