Market analysis
The Robina property market is in a phase of consolidation after a period of significant growth between 2021 and 2023. As of early 2026, median house prices have stabilised around the $1.4 million to $1.5 million mark, with the year-on-year growth rate decelerating to a more sustainable level. The median house price currently sits at approximately $1,450,000, while units are at a median of $950,000. This plateau follows a rapid ascent, indicating the market has absorbed the recent boom and is finding a new equilibrium.
Demand remains robust, underpinned by Robina's strong fundamentals. The suburb's appeal is diversified across multiple buyer segments, including families, professionals, and investors. This demand is fuelled by key infrastructure pillars: the Robina Health Precinct including the hospital, Bond University, Robina Town Centre, and direct train access to Brisbane. These employment and education hubs create consistent rental demand and attract a steady stream of new residents.
Supply remains a critical factor supporting current price levels. While new apartment and townhouse projects are in the pipeline, there is a notable absence of new detached housing developments scheduled from 2026 onwards. This constraint on new house supply is expected to intensify competition for existing stock, putting upward pressure on prices for both houses and, consequently, units and townhouses. Properties are still selling relatively quickly, with an average of 23 days on market, though this is an increase from the faster pace seen in previous years, reflecting a return to more normal market conditions. The rental market is extremely tight, with a vacancy rate of just 0.8% as of late 2025, significantly below the 3.0% benchmark for a healthy market. This has driven rental yields to a solid 3.9% for houses and 4.3% for units, making it a compelling proposition for investors seeking strong returns and long-term capital growth.
Robina's market has transitioned from a rapid boom to a stable platform, underpinned by world-class infrastructure and constrained housing supply, creating a prime opportunity for long-term growth.
Why a buyers agent
Navigating the Robina market requires a nuanced understanding that goes beyond median price data. As a master-planned community, it's a suburb of distinct precincts, each with its own character, property types, and value drivers. An expert buyer's agent can distinguish between a high-demand, walkable pocket near the Town Centre and a quieter, family-oriented lakeside street. They possess off-market knowledge in a suburb where low supply is a key feature, providing access to properties before they hit the open market. Furthermore, with a mix of freestanding homes, townhouses, and high-density apartments—some of which may have lending restrictions—an agent's guidance is crucial for identifying the best asset type for your portfolio. They understand the subtle price variations between school catchments and proximity to the train station versus the hospital, ensuring you don't overpay and are positioned for future growth.
Robina is a self-sufficient hub with its own major hospital, university, one of Queensland's largest shopping centres, and a stadium. This concentration of employment and lifestyle amenities underpins property values and rental demand.
With a major train station providing direct access to Brisbane, immediate entry to the M1 motorway, and a comprehensive bus network, Robina is one of the most well-connected suburbs on the Gold Coast, ideal for commuters and residents.
The suburb offers a wide range of properties, from waterfront houses and family homes to modern townhouses and apartments. This diversity attracts a broad demographic of buyers, including families, professionals, and investors, ensuring market stability.
A very low vacancy rate (0.8%) and consistent demand from students, healthcare professionals, and families create a landlord-friendly market. This results in strong rental yields and low tenant turnover, making it a secure choice for investors.
Unlike many urbanised areas, Robina was designed with lifestyle in mind. It features extensive parklands, lakes, and over 20km of walking and cycling trails, offering a high quality of life that appeals to residents seeking balance.
