The latest CoreLogic figures highlight contrasting conditions across the southern Gold Coast and Northern NSW. While established Gold Coast markets continue to record comparatively shorter selling periods, coastal lifestyle markets further south are experiencing longer campaigns and greater opportunities for buyers to negotiate.
Across the six suburbs analysed, 667 new sale listings were recorded, alongside 176 recently advised sales. Average selling periods ranged from 34.26 days in Broadbeach Waters to 88.55 days in Pottsville, excluding the very small Tyagarah market.

What This Means for Buyers
The latest data reinforces the importance of understanding individual markets rather than relying on broad regional trends.
Southport offers the greatest volume of new listings, while Broadbeach Waters demonstrates that relatively short selling periods can still coincide with meaningful vendor discounting. Main Beach presents a more measured environment, with average campaigns extending beyond seven weeks.
Further south, Lennox Head and Pottsville offer buyers more time to assess opportunities. Pottsville is particularly noteworthy, combining longer selling periods with the largest average vendor discount in the dataset. However, extended campaigns do not automatically guarantee favourable negotiations.
For buyers, the strongest opportunities will come from understanding recent comparable sales, property-specific characteristics, vendor expectations and the circumstances surrounding individual campaigns.

With 575 rental listings, Southport also recorded the largest rental listing market in the dataset.

- Vendor Discount: -1.94%
- Recently Advised Sales:
- Withdrawn Listings:
- Total Rental Listings:
Key Insights:
Lennox Head recorded 81 new listings, with properties spending an average of 76.85 days on the market. Vendor discounting remained relatively contained at -1.94%, suggesting longer campaigns have not necessarily translated into substantial price concessions. Buyers may benefit from additional time for due diligence, but should remain focused on comparable sales.
Tyagarah, NSW 2481
- New Sale Listings: 2
- Average Days on Market: 103.33 days
- Vendor Discount: +25.00%
- Recently Advised Sales:
- Withdrawn Listings:
- Total Rental Listings:
Key Insights:
With only 2 new listings and no recently advised sales, Tyagarah remains too small a market to draw reliable conclusions from headline statistics. The reported 103.33-day average selling period and +25.00% vendor pricing figure should be interpreted cautiously. Individual property characteristics and verified comparable transactions are more meaningful than suburb-wide averages.
Pottsville, NSW 2489
- New Sale Listings: 40
- Average Days on Market: 88.55 days
- Vendor Discount: -3.18%
- Recently Advised Sales:
- Withdrawn Listings:

Key Insights:
Pottsville recorded 40 new listings and an average selling period of 88.55 days, the longest among the more active markets analysed. Its -3.18% average vendor discount was also the largest in the dataset. This combination suggests buyers may have greater negotiating opportunities, particularly where properties have experienced extended campaigns.
