The Sunshine Coast property market

The Sunshine Coast has cemented itself as one of Australia's most desirable lifestyle markets. Driven by COVID-era sea-change migration and now the 2032 Brisbane Olympics infrastructure spillover, the region has seen exceptional capital growth. The new Sunshine Coast International Airport and University Hospital make this a diverse, resilient economy — not just a holiday market.

Lifestyle and investment combined

Sunshine Coast buyers often straddle owner-occupier and investment goals. We structure loans to accommodate future rental income or eventual tenanting without requiring you to refinance.

Short-term rental experience

Airbnb and VRBO income assessment for short-term rental properties is complex. We know which lenders accept STRA income and how to present it correctly for maximum borrowing capacity.

High-value property expertise

Properties on the Sunshine Coast regularly exceed conforming loan limits. We have access to lenders who specialise in larger loans and can structure them competitively.

Sunshine Coast mortgage questions answered

Common questions from Sunshine Coast buyers and investors.

Can I use Airbnb income to qualify for a Sunshine Coast mortgage?
Some lenders will accept short-term rental income, typically at 80% of the stated amount with a 2-year history. Lender policies vary significantly — we'll identify the best option for your situation and present your application to lenders who actively support STRA income assessment.
Are there first home buyer grants for the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. The Queensland First Home Owner Grant ($30,000 for new or substantially renovated properties) and the Federal First Home Guarantee (5% deposit, no LMI) both apply on the Sunshine Coast. Note the price caps — the FHOG is available up to $750,000 purchase price. The Sunshine Coast's high median makes grant eligibility important to check early.
Can you help with large loan amounts for Sunshine Coast properties?
Yes. We have access to specialist lenders who are comfortable with high loan values. For loan amounts over $2–3M we can access private lenders and non-bank specialists. Standard major banks are also competitive up to around $2.5M.
