Find the top real estate agents in Mackay

Mackay is a coastal regional centre where everyday family life sits alongside a substantial resource and agricultural economy. The city and its suburbs mix established Queensland timber and brick homes near the CBD with coastal holiday-style housing along the foreshore, and buyers range from local families and health and education professionals to people connected to the port and resources sector. Median prices have grown solidly, up 13.9% on the year to $695,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 1.5% above the prior peak set in July 2026.

Recent local movement is shaped by stronger activity around the port at Hay Point and steady freight and transport links along the Bruce Highway corridor, which support ongoing demand from workers and investors.
