Find the top real estate agents in Mackay

Mackay is a coastal regional centre where two property stories run in parallel. On the coast, the lifestyle pockets of Bucasia, Blacks Beach and Seaforth attract downsizers and young families chasing beachside living and local amenities. Inland and on the fringe, the established service towns of Mirani and Marian, plus the quieter family streets of West Mackay and North Mackay, appeal to buyers prioritising schools, space and a more affordable foothold in the region. Median prices have grown solidly, up 12.1% on the year to $695,000, the highest level in five years, and the median is 0.4% above the prior peak set in August 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 37 days, slower than a year ago, the slowest pace in two years. Sales activity has cooled, down 10.9% on the year, the lowest transaction count in five years, and auctions are clearing at 22% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ The industrial precinct of Paget and the port operations at Hay Point remain anchors for rental and owner-occupier demand tied to logistics and resources, while ongoing transport upgrades along the main highway corridors and improved links to ring-road routes are gradually strengthening commuter access. A steady flow of new residential development on the Ooralea and Rural View fringe is adding fresh stock for families and first-home buyers.
