Woombye Market Update, Sunshine Coast — September 23, 2025
By Leigh Martinuzzi | Martinuzzi Property Group – eXp Australia
Houses in Woombye are sitting at a median sale price of about $1,000,000, based on around 49–53 sales over the past 12 months. This reflects annual growth of approximately 8‑11%. Units are much quieter and data is limited and median unit‑sale figures are not reliably reported in recent months for many bedroom types.
Buyer Demand & Active Buyers
Buyer demand for houses in Woombye has increased over the past year, with one source reporting an ~11% rise in buyer activity year‑on‑year. The number of interested buyers is strong: for example, there are about 1,833 active buyers interested in houses generally, with specific interest in 3‑ and 4‑bedroom houses.
Inventory & Rentals
Inventory of houses for sale in Woombye remains tight, with approximately 140‑150 houses currently listed. Rental data shows the median rent for houses is around $680 per week, with a gross rental yield of about 3.9%.
Units that are available for rent are fewer, but where data exists, yields are slightly higher (though sample sizes are small).
Market Conditions
Woombye continues to favour sellers. The combination of rising prices, steady buyer interest, and relatively low inventory is creating a market where homes that present well and are priced appropriately tend to move quickest.
The higher end of the market (larger lot sizes, acreage, 4+ bedroom homes) is particularly active, while unit‑type properties are quiet and more variable in performance.
Recent Sales Spotlight
Recent sales in Woombye illustrate the current premium buyers are willing to pay.
One home in Horizon Way sold for $1,450,000; another, on Diddillibah Road, also fetched around $1,435,000; and a 5‑bedroom property on Davey Drive sold for about $1,190,000.
At the more accessible end, several 3‑bedroom homes have been trading closer to $830,000‑$900,000, particularly those with smaller lots or fewer luxury features.
Why It Matters
The capital growth in Woombye is very real and meaningful for both sellers and homeowners. Achieving a median house price of ~$1,000,000 with consistent growth implies strong equity gains.
For investors, yields are modest but reasonable given the capital appreciation; still, entry costs are high, so returns depend heavily on purchase price and holding costs.
Lifestyle factors, proximity to amenities (schools, transport), acreage or rural aspect continue to be drivers. Buyers are paying for more than just the structure. Broader economic trends like interest rates, cost of borrowing, supply of land/blocks, movement away from inner‑city are all supporting Woombye’s strong performance.
Final Take
Woombye is performing strongly. If you’re considering selling, now is an excellent moment to get an appraisal and understand your options. If buying, make sure you’re across financing, inspection, and act when the fit is right.
Advice for Sellers: If you have larger, well‑presented homes or acreage‑style properties, conditions are very good: rising prices, motivated buyers, fewer direct competitors.
Advice for Buyers: It’s still possible to secure good value, particularly in the mid‑range segment, but you’ll want to be well‑informed, decisive and ready because good properties are moving. Unit buyers or those with tighter budgets may face more limited choice and should carefully weigh amenities and location to ensure value.
