Surfers Paradise demand is still fuelled by tourism, renewed trust in large-scale projects and the Paradiso Place towers finally restarting construction with premium apartments and curated retail to anchor the northern strip. Buyers seek that beachside lifestyle plus the stronger rent lift in units versus houses, keeping investor interest alive even as visitors and build-to-rent stock continue to circulate. Risks come from the pipeline of new supply, but growth levers include the new retail precinct, ongoing Gold Coast tourism recovery and Olympic-linked infrastructure, while prices over the past six months have been flat to gently rising for units and largely steady for houses.
