Find the top real estate agents in Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast, also known as Sunny Coast, is a region of distinct housing markets stitched together by beachside lifestyle strips, established hinterland townships and newer family-focused suburbs. Sellers in Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Alexandra Headland and Cotton Tree sit in well known beachside precincts that attract lifestyle buyers and downsizers, while Buderim, Maleny and Montville offer the hinterland character sought by tree-changers and buyers after larger blocks. Median prices have made a strong advance, up 17.4% on the year to $1,180,000, the highest level in five years, though the pace may not be sustained, and the median is 0.4% above the prior peak set in August 2026.

Homes are selling in a median of 34 days, faster than a year ago. Auctions are clearing at 56% over the past year.⁽¹⁾ There have been fewer sales than a year ago, down 12.8% on the year, the lowest transaction count in two years.
