Find the top real estate agents in Mackay

Mackay is a coastal regional centre where beachside lifestyle, agricultural hinterland and heavy industry sit unusually close together. Median prices have seen a strong advance, up 16.4% on the year to $675,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 0.8% above the prior peak set in April 2026.

Continued work to improve freight links along the Bruce Highway corridor and around the port precinct is supporting steady demand for homes near industrial and service employment, particularly in suburbs close to Paget and Ooralea. At the same time, interest from downsizers and sea-changers is accelerating in the coastal pockets, and modest renewal activity in established suburbs such as West Mackay and South Mackay is drawing younger family buyers. Homes are selling in a median of 35 days, slower than a year ago, the slowest pace in two years. There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 16.7% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years. Auctions are clearing at 28% over the past year.⁽¹⁾
