September 2025 Toowoomba Property Market Report

1. Strong Price Growth Still in Motion

Toowoomba continues to outperform expectations, with property values rising approximately 13% year-on-year. Median prices in key suburbs such as Middle Ridge and Toowoomba West have increased by around $100,000 in the past 12 months.

Since 2019, median house prices across Toowoomba have jumped by an estimated 67.5%, meaning a property once worth $400,000 is now pushing $670,000. In the past year alone, Toowoomba City recorded a 15.8% increase in house values (median: $670,000) and an 11.8% rise in unit prices (median: $425,000). Rental yields remain healthy, sitting at around 4.0% for houses and 4.8% for units.

2. Supply Constraints Continue

New housing remains scarce, with supply unable to match ongoing buyer demand. Entry-level stock under $450,000 has become increasingly rare—falling by more than 75% since 2021.

Several new housing estates are in development, including:

A proposed 29-lot and 154-lot subdivision in Oakey
A 2-hectare site in Middle Ridge expected to deliver up to 123 dwellings, earmarked for low-to-medium-density housing

While these developments aim to ease pressure, they are not yet sufficient to meet the current demand surge.

3. Macroeconomic Tailwinds Supporting Growth

Nationally, the property market is benefitting from a series of interest rate cuts totalling 75 basis points since February 2025. These have provided much-needed borrowing relief and encouraged buyer activity across the board.

At the same time, the total value of Australia’s housing market has hit a record $11.6 trillion, driven by heightened investor activity and sustained consumer confidence.

4. Infrastructure & Long-Term Regional Drivers

Toowoomba’s strategic position continues to attract investment. Major infrastructure like the Inland Rail project, Wellcamp Airport upgrades, and the city’s growing role as a logistics and agribusiness hub are long-term value drivers.

Significantly, Toowoomba is now confirmed to host equestrian events for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games—further enhancing its national profile and likely spurring additional infrastructure and tourism opportunities in the years ahead.

5. Investor and Buyer Outlook

Real estate analysts forecast continued double-digit capital growth in 2025, with predictions ranging from 9% to 13% across Toowoomba’s urban and fringe areas.

Investor confidence remains high, with several notable flips and record-breaking sales in 2024. Rental properties remain in hot demand, especially in family-friendly suburbs, outer growth corridors, and larger lifestyle blocks.
