How the Southern Gold Coast is Outperforming The Market: In Conversation with David Higgins

Market Insights EP 111: David Higgins, Director at Colliers International

David Higgins from Colliers joins Mike Bird for a market update on the Southern Gold Coast apartment market, breaking down current sales trends, key development hotspots, and what’s driving ongoing price growth across the region.

Market Performance

Sales across the Gold Coast are tracking above average, with Q2 showing a strong surge in transactions. Smaller boutique projects and limited new apartment supply continue to support steady price growth.

Development Hotspots

Palm Beach remains a standout performer, with Burleigh attracting premium buyers. Southern beach suburbs like Bilinga, Kirra, and Rainbow Bay are also showing strong momentum and rising demand from developers.

Apartment Demand

Two-bedroom apartments continue to dominate buyer enquiry, while larger three-bedroom residences perform well near the beach or waterfront.

Market Outlook

Colliers projects continued capital growth over the next three years, especially for well-located off-the-plan apartments on the Southern Gold Coast.
