AreaSearch assessment of residential approval activity sees Reedy Creek - Andrews among the top 30% of areas assessed nationwide

Reedy Creek - Andrews has received approximately 22 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling 111 homes. In FY-26 so far, there have been 10 recorded approvals. On average, 7.3 new residents are added yearly for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating demand outpaces supply, which may drive up prices and increase buyer competition. The average construction value of these dwellings is $617,000, suggesting developers target the premium market segment with high-end properties.

In this financial year, $6.5 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded, indicating limited focus on commercial development compared to residential. Despite similar construction rates per person as the rest of Queensland, Reedy Creek - Andrews' building activity has accelerated recently, reflecting its mature state and possible planning constraints. All recent developments consist of standalone homes, preserving the area's suburban nature and catering to space-seeking buyers who prefer detached housing. Reedy Creek - Andrews reflects a transitioning market with around 249 people per approval.

By 2041, it is forecasted to gain approximately 1,933 residents. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and driving price growth.
