Cairns property market bucks the national downturn

While Brisbane and other major capitals record consecutive monthly falls, Cairns is doing the opposite.

New data from realestate.com.au's Home Price Report shows Cairns dwelling prices rose 0.35% in August and 10.13% over the past year. The city-wide median now sits at $673,000. Houses are at $753,000, up 9.63% annually. Units have hit $456,000, up a strong 11.43%.

Brisbane, by contrast, has now fallen for five consecutive months and officially joined the national downturn.

Senior economist Eleanor Creagh attributes Cairns' resilience to constrained housing supply and sustained population and lifestyle demand. Budget-conscious buyers priced out of the southern capitals are increasingly looking at regional entry points like Cairns, which helps explain the strength in the unit market specifically.

Worth noting for anyone reading these figures closely: this is a city-wide number. It doesn't tell us what's happening street by street across the South Side. That's where local knowledge matters, and it's exactly the gap I work to fill for clients here.

One thing to watch. Creagh also flagged that a further RBA rate rise before Christmas could put pressure on affordability in markets like Cairns and Townsville, even with relative buffers in place from tighter supply.

If you're weighing up buying, selling, or just want to know where your property sits against these numbers, I'm always happy to talk it through.

$690,000. Sold and unconditional at 10 Arizona Crescent, White Rock — $40,000 above the guide.

Seven of the ten four-bedroom houses on the market this month are now spoken for. The entry-level four-bedroom in White Rock has effectively gone.

I'm not sure if it's for you, but if you own here, the numbers behind that shift are worth ten minutes of your time.

🏡 SOUTH SIDE CAIRNS PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE | AUGUST 2026

The August Cotality figures are in, and the South Side is still one of the strongest performing pockets in Cairns.

House values sit well above where they were a year ago, even with a small month-on-month easing through July.

Here is the snapshot:

• Mount Peter | $909,063 | +24.4%
• Bayview Heights | $788,975 | +12.6%
• Mount Sheridan | $785,684 | +16.5%
• Bentley Park | $779,766 | +13.9%
• Gordonvale | $766,376 | +16.5%
• Edmonton | $753,507 | +15.6%
• White Rock | $685,010 | +17.0%
• Woree | $664,847 | +14.4%

And stock is moving fast.

🔥 White Rock 9 days on market
🔥 Mount Peter 10 days
🔥 Mount Sheridan 10 days
🔥 Edmonton 11 days
🔥 Bentley Park 12.5 days

Mount Sheridan led on volume with 192 house sales over 12 months, ahead of Edmonton on 177 and Bentley Park on 167.

Rents are holding firm too, from $610 a week in Woree to $700 a week in Mount Peter and Bayview Heights.

Here is what those numbers do not tell you.

The median is a suburb average. It is not your home. Two houses on the same street sell tens of thousands apart depending on condition, presentation, land size, renovation level and what else is listed at the time.

Owners who price off a median leave money behind. Owners who price off real, current buyer activity do not.

I am appraising homes across White Rock, Mount Sheridan, Woree, Bayview Heights, Bentley Park, Edmonton, Mount Peter and Gordonvale every week. I know what buyers are paying right now, what they are walking away from, and what small changes lift a price before it hits the market.

If you have been wondering what your home is worth in this market, find out properly.
