Buderim

Property market overview for this Queensland suburb.

Market definition

These signals are shown separately so you can see what is driving the market. Explore them under Demand & supply below.

At $750 a week, Buderim is higher than 77% of the 563 QLD suburbs we hold.

Rents there are up 7.1% over the past year, slower than Queensland as a whole (up 8.3%).

Based on 197 new leases. Enough to be meaningful, but a single unusual quarter will move it.

The most common new lease there was a three-bedroom house, at $830 a week across 38 of them.

What changed

In June quarter 2026, the median weekly rent held at $750.

Completions as a share of commencements81%March quarter 2026

Strong at or above 95% of commencements, weak below 80%, moderate in between — completions in the quarter compared with commencements in the same quarter, both stated beside this rule. These figures compare pipeline flows and do not track individual approved dwellings through construction.

Rental pressure

Moderate

How fast achieved rents are rising, against the rest of the state.

Data & method
Rent change over a year, Buderim+7.1%June quarter 2026
Rent change over a year, the middle suburb in Queensland+7.4%June quarter 2026

High when rents rose at least one percentage point faster than the state, low when at least a point slower, moderate in between. Compared against the state rather than the nation because each bond authority defines its own series: changes compare, levels do not.

Rental momentum

Moving with the rest of Queensland

How rents here moved over a year, against the typical suburb in Queensland.

Markets in the comparison563June quarter 2026 against a year earlier

The difference between this market’s one-year rent change and the middle change across every suburb the same publisher reports, in percentage points: 3 or more above is well above, 1 above is above, within 1 either way is in line. Changes are compared within one state because each bond authority defines its own series — movement may be compared between them, the rent itself may not.

Demand

Population data on suburb pages uses the ABS statistical area containing the suburb. The market card names that wider area; open Data & method for the geography and source.

Population pressure

Not enough evidence

How fast the population here is changing, against how fast Australia is changing.

No population estimate is published for this market at a geography the ABS uses.

Households — 2021 Census

Counted for Buderim on Census night, 10 August 2021. A Census count is a stock on one night, not a series: it cannot show a trend, and five years on it describes 2021, not today. It is here because how many households there are and how many people share a dwelling are the denominators every demand question eventually needs.

Supply

Dwelling approvals are published by council area, not by suburb, and an approval is counted for the boundary that granted it — so none are shown here rather than another area’s. The council it sits in, Sunshine Coast Regional, carries the approval series and the delivery reading.

Approved housing pipeline

Not enough evidence

How many dwellings this market approved over twelve months for every thousand residents, against the national rate. Approvals are permission to build, not completed dwellings.

Dwelling approvals are published by council area, and this market is not one.

Dwelling stock — 2021 Census

Counted for Buderim on Census night, 10 August 2021. The stock every approval above eventually adds to, as it stood on one night in 2021. The occupied count is the households figure under Demand — the ABS definition makes them one count, so it is printed once rather than twice. The occupied and unoccupied counts are separately rounded by the ABS and do not exactly sum to the total, so no missing figure is derived here.

Outlook

Forecasting

No APRIQ forward rent forecast is published for Buderim yet. The forecasting model remains in historical backtesting.

The method’s public record so far, across every market at once and clearly a backtest, not a prediction: at 1 quarter ahead, 83.8% of 10,476 graded backtests landed inside their ranges, at a median width of ±7.9%.

See the full historical record on the forecast scorecard. Backtest results describe historical model performance, not a prediction for this market.

Strong needs 200 or more new leases behind the current figure; moderate needs 50. Fewer than that reads as thin: one unusual property can move the figure. A withheld count cannot earn better than thin, because a suppressed number is unknown rather than small. How current the figure is, is a separate fact stated as dates beside this reading, never folded into this word.

Freshness

Which period the current rent figure describes, how it sits against the newest quarter published anywhere, and whose clock dated it — as dates, because a graded word would hide exactly the part worth checking.

Coverage notes
  • What will happen next. No forward forecast is published for any market until the method has earned it on the public scorecard — every figure above is a measurement of what has already occurred.
  • Whether housing here is under- or over-supplied. That conclusion needs household formation, which no publisher releases at this level; APRIQ holds the components and refuses the leap.
  • How sale prices here are moving. Queensland sells its sale records commercially and publishes no openly licensed series at any level.
  • The spread of rents inside this market. Only New South Wales publishes the quartiles either side of its medians.
  • This suburb’s own population and approvals. The ABS publishes both by council area — Sunshine Coast Regional’s figures are one click up; the Housing Balance above shows what can honestly be attached here, labelled.
