Gold Coast Unit Rents: September 2026 Data

Compare RTA two-bedroom unit rents in Broadbeach, Palm Beach, Surfers Paradise and Varsity Lakes: September 2026 vs 2025, with bond counts and method.

For two-bedroom flats/units in the September quarter of 2026, RTA median weekly rents were $950 in Broadbeach, $850 in Palm Beach, $850 in Surfers Paradise and $820 in Varsity Lakes. This is a comparison of four selected Gold Coast suburbs, not a ranking of every suburb or a rental appraisal for an individual property.

Analysis prepared 12 November 2026 by Black & White Property Group using the Residential Tenancies Authority's published bond data. Figures are Australian dollars per week. Original data: RTA; selection and percentage calculations: BWPG.

Like-for-like rental benchmarks: two-bedroom flats/units

We compare the July–September quarter of 2026 with July–September 2025, following the RTA's advice to compare year-on-year rather than adjacent quarters. The workbook calls this dwelling category “Flat 2”. Bond counts below are new bonds lodged in each quarter, not BWPG-managed properties or all rental properties.

Broadbeach

September 2026 median: $950 per week; 181 new bonds lodged.
September 2025 median: $775 per week; 149 new bonds lodged.
Difference between the medians: +$175 per week (+22.6%).

Palm Beach

September 2026 median: $850 per week; 154 new bonds lodged.
September 2025 median: $790 per week; 147 new bonds lodged.
Difference between the medians: +$60 per week (+7.6%).

Surfers Paradise

September 2026 median: $850 per week; 352 new bonds lodged.
September 2025 median: $790 per week; 334 new bonds lodged.
Difference between the medians: +$60 per week (+7.6%).

Varsity Lakes

September 2026 median: $820 per week; 74 new bonds lodged.
September 2025 median: $780 per week; 69 new bonds lodged.
Difference between the medians: +$40 per week (+5.1%).

What this comparison adds for a landlord

Property type matters. Comparing two-bedroom units avoids mixing houses, studios and larger units into an all-dwellings headline. It does not remove differences in building, floor area, furnishing, condition, parking, views or location within each suburb.

A difference in medians is not a return forecast. Broadbeach's selected category rose by 22.6%, compared with 5.1% in Varsity Lakes. Different properties may have started new tenancies in each quarter. This is not a repeat-property index, and it does not show that an existing owner's rent or investment value rose by that amount.

Check the sample before relying on a number. The September 2026 category includes 352 new bonds in Surfers Paradise and 74 in Varsity Lakes. Those counts provide context for the published medians; they are not vacancy rates, days-to-let figures or evidence of our own performance. We have not calculated an overall four-suburb median by averaging the individual medians.

How to use the figures in a rental appraisal

Match the dwelling type and bedroom count before comparing a benchmark.
Check recent genuinely comparable properties for condition, furnishing, parking, building and location.
Separate asking rents from rents recorded through new bond lodgements; these are different measures.
Request a property-specific appraisal with the comparables and assumptions explained.
Compare the full management service and written fees, not only a proposed weekly rent.

For the service and fee discussion, see BWPG's Gold Coast property management service and our property management fee comparison guide. You can request an appraisal for your property; a suburb median is a starting point, not the appraisal itself.

Method, source and limitations

Source: RTA median rents quarterly data and methodology; download the RTA bond-statistics workbook. Retrieved 12 November 2026. The workbook's Contents sheet identifies September 2026 as its latest quarter, updated 1 October 2026.

We selected Broadbeach, Palm Beach, Surfers Paradise and Varsity Lakes to give a focused comparison relevant to Gold Coast rental owners. This is not a representative sample of the whole city. We read the exact suburb/“Flat 2” rows from “4 sub-rents” and matching counts from “5 sub-new-bonds”. Percentage difference = (September 2026 median − September 2025 median) ÷ September 2025 median × 100, rounded to one decimal place. Dollar medians are reproduced as published; RTA may revise its workbook.

The RTA describes its median-rent series as analysis of new bond lodgements. It does not describe all existing rents, holiday accommodation income, owner net proceeds or a property's legal ability to operate as short-term accommodation. No individual tenancy records or private owner information are used here.

These historical benchmarks do not forecast rent, occupancy, capital growth or income. General information only; use current property-specific evidence before making a decision.
