Murwillumbah is running hot
By Jo Kennett
ARE MURWILLUMBAH houses the hottest real estate ticket in the Tweed right now?
It certainly seems like it with so much market action going on, and recent price rises haven’t deterred buyers, who obviously see the value in the once overlooked town.
Last month Murwillumbah had 49 properties for sale. Median property prices over the last year range from $846,250 for houses to $515,000 for units, which is still great value when you stop and look around at
the scenery. It’s one of the prettiest towns in Australia, with that beloved mountain backdrop, the beautiful Tweed River snaking its way through the cane fields and lovely rural views everywhere you look. If you don’t believe me go and check out the Tweed River Gallery or the showground.
It never ceases to amaze just how lovely it all is. Okay enough superlatives. Let’s crunch some numbers.
Units were only on the market for an average of 32 days, with houses on for 45, with plenty of interest.

‘Murbah’ has seen an annual compound growth rate of 10.6 per cent for houses but units are down 15.9 per cent, making them great value.
With arguably the most beautiful views in town, 7 Mistral Road, South Murwillumbah, (just near the gallery) overlooks rolling green paddocks, the Tweed River and the mountains. Architecturally designed and built in 1965 with three spacious bedrooms, it’s for sale for the first time in 59 years with expressions of interest at Jet Real Estate. It won’t last.
Northern Rivers Property Group has one of the most interesting homes at 7 Tombonda Road on the market, which they call the ‘origami treehouse’ and, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and mountain views, it’s a great buy at $898,000.
If you have a big family, NRPG also has a seven bedroom home at 69 Rous River Way with a magnesium pool, slide, spa and games area for sale for $1.25 to $1.35 million.
