Buyers Looking to Relocate to Our Garden City – Spring 2025

There’s something special about Toowoomba in spring. The jacarandas bloom, the parks burst into colour, and the streets are alive with the energy of the Carnival of Flowers. That same energy is flowing through the property market right now, with a steady stream of buyers looking to relocate to our beautiful Garden City before the new year.

Spring Momentum in the Toowoomba Market

While many markets across Queensland typically quieten as the year winds down, Toowoomba is bucking the trend. Homes are being snapped up, often by families and professionals planning their move well ahead of 2026.

• Relocation is strong: Many buyers are moving from Brisbane and interstate, drawn by our lifestyle, affordability, and family-friendly reputation.

• Tight rental market pushing demand: Vacancy rates across Toowoomba remain well below 1%, prompting many renters to consider buying instead.

• Affordable lifestyle: With a median price now nudging $700,000, Toowoomba still offers more space and value than Brisbane or the Gold Coast.

• Spring appeal: The city’s festival season and parks in bloom are giving relocating families the perfect introduction to Toowoomba’s lifestyle.

What Buyers Are Looking For

From leafy streets near East Creek to larger family blocks in Glenvale, buyers are prioritising:

• Proximity to schools and parks (families are thinking long-term).

• Lifestyle homes with gardens, outdoor space, and character.

• Well-presented properties that stand out in online listings.

Open homes this season have shown multiple offers coming in, especially on well-located family homes. Just as Toowoomba’s gardens shine brightest in spring, so too do properties that are well prepared and thoughtfully marketed.

Opportunities for Sellers

Spring is traditionally the strongest selling season, but in Toowoomba 2025, it’s more than just tradition. With buyers actively relocating, homes are achieving competitive offers in shorter timeframes.

• Presenting your property well—fresh landscaping, tidy gardens, and inviting outdoor spaces—can make a huge difference.

• Pricing realistically ensures you don’t miss out on motivated buyers.

• Acting now means you can take advantage of the relocation wave before Christmas and New Year.

Opportunities for Buyers

If you’re relocating to Toowoomba, be prepared to act quickly. Many buyers are already here for inspections during the Carnival season, making their choices now to secure a fresh start in the new year.

• Get finance pre-approval sorted early.

• Be clear on your “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves.”

• Don’t overlook suburbs like Kearneys Spring, Mount Lofty, and Glenvale, where family-friendly living and lifestyle blocks are in high demand.

Looking Ahead

Just like the gardens that give our city its name, the Toowoomba property market is blooming this spring. With low rental vacancies, steady price growth, and buyers making relocation plans early, the season is shaping up as one of opportunity for both sellers and buyers.

If you’re thinking of making a move, now is the time to put down roots in the Garden City.
