🏄♂️ MAROUBRA PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE 1ST HALF 2026
Maroubra is a beachside suburb just 10km from Sydney CBD, home to one of Sydney’s closest surfing beaches. With ocean-view homes, cozy units, cafés ☕️ and modern amenities, it remains one of the Eastern Suburbs’ most sought-after locations.
📈 PROPERTY TRENDS
In Q1 2026, Maroubra recorded a median house price of $3.15M and median unit price of $1.24M. House prices softened -4.5% annually, while unit prices grew 2.9%.
House sales declined to 109, while unit sales increased 2.1% to 296 🏡🏢. Despite higher interest rates 💰, Maroubra remains a highly demanded blue-chip market, creating rare buying opportunities as houses become slightly more affordable ⏳.
🚧 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Approx. $242.1M in projects will commence in 2026, including the Fitzgerald Avenue & Yorktown Parade Affordable Housing Development bringing 144 affordable units 🏗️.
Around 211 units/apartments, 10 dwellings and 3 townhouses are planned. However, compared to current sales activity, undersupply remains likely — which may support future price recovery 📊.
🏠 RENTAL MARKET
House rental yields were 2.3% in March 2026, below Randwick LGA (2.6%) and Sydney Metro (2.8%).
Median house rent increased 5.7% over the past 12 months to $1,675 per week 💵. Although rental numbers declined slightly, Maroubra remains an undersupplied rental market, continuing to benefit investors ⭐️.
📉 VACANCY RATES & INVESTMENT
Maroubra recorded a vacancy rate of 1.3% in March 2026 — below Randwick LGA’s 1.7%. While vacancy rates increased slightly due to more investors entering the market, they remain well below the healthy benchmark of 3.0% ✅, indicating strong rental demand and quicker occupancy.
