The property market in Byron Bay and its surrounding areas like Ocean Shores and Mullumbimby has had a solid start to 2025. While it’s still early in the year, the signs are pointing to a busier and more competitive market compared to last year.
Over the past week, 10 properties have sold, and over 30 new listings have popped up across the area. With new properties entering the market and some that have been sitting for a while now attracting attention and multiple offers, it’s clear that activity is picking up and competition is increasing. If this trend continues, 2025 could be shaping into a much busier year for the Byron Shire property market.
For buyers in Byron Bay, Ocean Shores, Mullumbimby, and beyond, this uptick in activity can mean more opportunities, but can also mean more competition. Having a local buyer's agent in these areas is key in navigating a more competitive environment. One of the biggest advantages right now as a buyer is having access to off-market properties. These hidden listings often come with less competition, giving you more time to make informed decisions and conduct thorough due diligence—without the pressure of competing offers and fast-moving sales.
This week, I had the pleasure of helping a couple secure an Off-market property in Mullumbimby. While there was competition, avoiding the open market meant they could negotiate without the pressure of an auction environment, which can sometimes lead to inflated prices. They were thrilled with the outcome, securing a great deal compared to similar sold properties.
Competition remains particularly fierce in the region's sub $1.5 million price range. Having a clear strategy and an experienced licenced buyer's agent can make all the difference. With guidance, you can navigate the market with confidence and secure a great property deal—without the stress.
If you’re looking to buy in Byron Bay, Ocean Shores, Mullumbimby, or the surrounding areas, now is a great time to start your search. Let’s make sure you’re well-prepared for what could be a very busy and competitive year ahead.
