As Buderim’s most reputable property buyer’s agent, we’ve got the inside scoop on what to look for in your new home.

The Buderim Property Market

Buderim’s population hasn’t just doubled, it’s transformed in the last decade or two. Formerly, Buderim was a mecca for retirees (as evident with the number of exclusive retirement villages in the 4556 postcode). These days the 360-degree views from its 180m high peak and its array of magnificent homes in all styles attract established families and savvy property investors from across Australia, and the world. The Buderim property market is tight, with few properties coming to market. Like many of its more in demand Sunshine Coast neighbours, your dream property will likely sell fast and often well above list price. For interstate, international and often, local buyers, a buyer’s agent is essential for securing your dream property in the area.
As of July 2021 The median house sale price in Buderim is around $906,000, however the price of luxury homes with views can easily creep past the $2 million mark. For interstate buyers, $2 million will get you spectacular views and architectural design, not just a pokey two bed flat in Sydney 😉
Units sell for around the $500,000 mark.
Investment properties in Buderim delivered a compound growth rate per year of 9.84% for houses and 6.08% for units over the last five years. Houses offer on average an annual rental yield of 4.28% and apartments an impressive 5.1%. The average house in Buderim commands $600 per week rent with just a 0.52% average vacancy rate. No wonder the Buderim property market is currently in such high demand.

History and Culture

Buderim Demographics

Around 30,000 Sunshine Coasters currently call Buderim home. Buderim sales attract, on average 20% more interest than the Queensland average. It might have something to do with Buderim being named up there with Paris and Aspen as livable locations in a British Airways Survey. As the sea and tree changers head to the Sunshine Coast, the Buderim demographic is again changing. Buderim is a highly sought-after location for Sydney and Melbourne sun seekers and during the Covid period saw a burgeoning interest from interstate.
For established families, the Buderim area offers three of the top schools on the Sunshine Coast. Sunshine Coast Grammar, Matthew Flinders Anglican College and Immanuel Lutheran College are three of the Sunshine Coast’s top performing schools. The local state schools, including Buderim Mountain State School are highly reputable and strictly catchment managed.
Because the properties in Buderim tend to move so quickly, interstate and international buyers should consider being represented by a Buyer’s Agent.
