What’s REALLY happening in the Toowoomba property market?

Let’s not sugar-coat it—Toowoomba’s market is moving. And if you've been wondering whether now’s the time to make a move, you’re not alone. We’ve been chatting with buyers, sellers, and investors every day who are asking the same question:

What’s really going on out there?

So, here’s the breakdown. Straight-up info to help you get your head around what’s happening in our corner of the world.

Yep, prices are up. But it’s not just a fluke.

Property prices across Toowoomba have risen by about 13% over the past 12 months. That’s not just a spike—it’s a sign of something deeper going on.

We’re seeing more and more people choosing Toowoomba for its lifestyle perks. Big blocks, proper seasons, a community vibe, and less of that big city chaos. Families are upgrading, retirees are downsizing, and investors? They’re watching closely.

All of this puts pressure on the market—which is exactly why values are holding strong and listings don’t hang around for long.

People are on the move—literally.

Toowoomba isn’t a secret anymore. Our population has seen significant growth, and with that comes higher demand for housing across the board. Whether it’s new developments, older character homes, or those lifestyle properties on the fringe—it’s all being snapped up quicker than you can say “regional boom.”

This demand isn’t just coming from locals, either. We’re talking interstate buyers, tree-changers, and career-focused buyers who’ve cottoned onto the fact that Toowoomba gives them more bang for their buck.

Toowoomba’s Olympic moment ?

Here’s something that’ll put us on the global map: Toowoomba has officially been named the host city for the Equestrian events in the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.

Yep, the world is coming to the Toowoomba Showgrounds—and that’s big news. Not just for our horse lovers, but for the entire region. This kind of international spotlight brings:

• Major infrastructure investment

• National and global tourism

• Long-term economic growth

• A boost in confidence for buyers and investors alike

In short: more visibility, more visitors, and more value for the area. If you were looking for a sign that Toowoomba’s on the rise, this is it.

What buyers are chasing right now

It’s not just about price. Buyers in Toowoomba are looking for:

• Space – inside and out. Big backyards are back in fashion.

• Proximity – close to schools, shops, and that perfect coffee.

• Lifestyle – homes that feel calm, safe, and easy to enjoy.

They’re not just investing in a house—they’re buying into a way of life. And honestly? Toowoomba delivers.

Sellers: Don’t sleep on this market.

If you're thinking, “Maybe next year,” you might want to rethink that. Stock levels are still tight, which means less competition for your home and more eyeballs on your listing.

Buyers are pre-approved, ready, and watching closely. A well-presented home, priced right and marketed properly? It’ll shine.
