Newport is one of Moreton Bay’s most desirable and prestigious residential communities, combining a sophisticated waterfront lifestyle with contemporary architecture, canal-front residences and some of the region’s most sought-after homes.
With a proven track record selling premium Newport real estate, including properties achieving $5 million, $4.05 million and $3.9 million, Roxanne Paterson and Ray White RP Group have established themselves as experienced specialists in Newport’s prestige and waterfront property market.
Located on the Redcliffe Peninsula, Newport has developed a strong reputation for high-quality homes, waterfront properties, canal-front residences and architecturally designed houses. The suburb attracts established families, professionals, downsizers, investors and buyers seeking a premium bayside lifestyle.
For homeowners considering selling, Newport is a market where presentation, positioning, buyer targeting and negotiation can make a significant difference to the final result.
Ray White RP Group, led by Roxanne Paterson, has established a strong presence in the Newport market, with recent sales of premium and waterfront properties including homes along Coolum Parade and Portsea Crescent.
Newport has become one of the Moreton Bay region’s premium residential markets, with strong demand for quality homes and particularly high interest in properties offering waterfront access, water views, architectural design and resort-style living.
Current market data places Newport’s median house price at approximately $1.64 million, based on recent 12-month sales. REA currently reports annual house price growth of approximately 13.9%, while other property data providers record median values in the $1.60–$1.65 million range.
The Newport market varies considerably depending on property type and location. Waterfront and canal-front properties can command substantial premiums compared with standard non-waterfront homes, meaning suburb-wide median prices do not necessarily reflect the value of premium waterfront real estate.
Market statistics vary between providers, reporting periods and methodologies and should be considered indicative only.
Waterfront property is one of Newport’s defining characteristics and a major reason the suburb commands a premium position within the Moreton Bay market.
Homes positioned directly on the canals or with water access can offer a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane’s northern suburbs.
Features that can significantly influence the value of a Newport waterfront property include:
Waterfront properties should not be assessed simply by applying the suburb’s median house price. Each property is highly individual, and comparable waterfront sales are generally much more meaningful when determining market value.
The current Newport median house price is approximately $1.64 million, although the suburb contains a wide range of property types and price points.
Standard family homes can sit significantly below premium waterfront properties, while architecturally designed canal-front residences can achieve substantially higher prices.
For this reason, buyers and sellers should consider the property’s position, land size, construction quality, views, waterfront access, renovation level and overall lifestyle offering when assessing value.
At the premium end of the market, the buyer pool is typically smaller but highly targeted. Successfully selling these properties requires marketing that reaches buyers who understand and value the unique attributes of waterfront living.
Newport has a smaller unit and townhouse market than its detached housing market.
Current market data places the median unit price at approximately $1.35 million, although this figure can be influenced by the relatively small number of unit sales and the quality and location of individual developments.
Townhouses and low-maintenance properties appeal particularly to downsizers, professionals and buyers seeking a Newport lifestyle without the maintenance associated with a large detached home.
Ray White RP Group has established a strong presence in Newport’s premium property market, with Roxanne Paterson achieving some of the suburb’s standout residential sales results, particularly across Newport’s highly sought-after waterfront and canal-front homes.
Roxanne’s Newport sales include some of the suburb’s most significant transactions, demonstrating her experience marketing and negotiating at the premium end of the Moreton Bay property market.
Sold for $5 million by Roxanne Paterson
98 Coolum Parade represents the calibre of prestige property that Roxanne Paterson and Ray White RP Group are experienced in marketing throughout Newport.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence occupies a substantial 763m² parcel of land and achieved a $5,000,000 sale price in 2025, making it one of the standout residential sales in Newport.
Sold for $4.05 million by Roxanne Paterson
Known as Casa Laguna, 130 Coolum Parade is an exceptional example of Newport’s premium waterfront lifestyle, combining coastal architecture, contemporary luxury and an enviable Newport position.
The property was marketed and sold by Roxanne Paterson, further demonstrating her experience working with high-value and prestige property within Newport.
Sold for $3.9 million by Roxanne Paterson
81 Aqua Street is another standout Newport result for Roxanne Paterson, with the property achieving a $3,900,000 sale price.
The sale reinforces Roxanne’s position within Newport’s premium property market and her experience representing owners of high-end homes where presentation, buyer targeting, marketing and negotiation are critical to achieving an exceptional result.
Together, these three sales represent more than $12.95 million in Newport property transactions, providing a powerful demonstration of Roxanne Paterson’s experience at the upper end of the local market.
Roxanne’s Newport track record extends beyond these landmark results, with additional sales throughout Coolum Parade, Portsea Crescent, Aqua Street and other premium Newport locations. Her portfolio includes architectural residences, waterfront homes and substantial family properties, giving her an intimate understanding of the factors that influence value in Newport’s prestige market.
For owners of premium Newport property, particularly waterfront, canal-front and architecturally designed homes, this experience provides an important advantage.
Selling a prestige property requires more than simply reaching a large number of buyers. It requires identifying the right audience, positioning the property correctly, creating desire through sophisticated marketing and negotiating with experienced buyers who understand the value of premium Newport real estate.
With a proven track record including $5 million, $4.05 million and $3.9 million Newport sales, Roxanne Paterson and Ray White RP Group are positioned as specialists in the marketing and sale of prestige property throughout Newport and the wider Moreton Bay region.
Newport’s premium property market can attract highly motivated buyers, particularly for properties offering unique waterfront or architectural attributes.
For premium homes, the selling method should be determined by the property, likely buyer pool, price point and campaign strategy.
Auction can be particularly effective when a property has multiple motivated buyers because it creates a transparent environment in which competition can be leveraged.
For some premium properties, however, a carefully managed private treaty or expressions-of-interest campaign may provide a better environment for negotiating with a smaller pool of highly qualified buyers.
The right strategy depends on the individual property.
Premium Newport properties can take longer to sell than standard residential properties because the potential buyer pool is naturally smaller.
Current market data suggests Newport houses generally spend around one to one-and-a-half months on market, depending on the reporting methodology used. Other property data providers report approximately 46 days on market.
However, days on market should be interpreted carefully for premium property.
A $1 million family home and a $3 million waterfront residence cannot reasonably be expected to attract the same number of buyers or follow the same sales timeline.
For prestige property, the quality of the buyer is often more important than the quantity of enquiries.
Newport attracts buyers looking for more than simply a house.
The suburb’s appeal is strongly connected to lifestyle.
Buyers are attracted by:
The buyer pool for premium Newport property can include Brisbane professionals, established families, downsizers, business owners, investors and buyers relocating to the Moreton Bay region.
Newport is a master-planned coastal community on the Redcliffe Peninsula, developed around a network of lakes, waterways and residential neighbourhoods.
The suburb has a distinct lifestyle identity, with contemporary homes, landscaped streets, waterfront parks, walking paths and access to the surrounding Moreton Bay coastline.
Newport is particularly appealing to buyers who want a modern waterfront lifestyle while remaining within reach of Brisbane.
The suburb is positioned close to Scarborough, Redcliffe, Mango Hill, North Lakes and the wider Moreton Bay region.
Newport offers a lifestyle centred around water, open space and contemporary living.
The suburb’s waterways and landscaped public spaces provide opportunities for walking, cycling, recreation and outdoor entertaining.
Newport Waterside Park is one of the suburb’s popular community spaces, while Newport Marketplace provides convenient access to local retail and services.
The nearby Redcliffe Peninsula also offers beaches, cafes, restaurants, parks and recreational facilities.
For many residents, the appeal of Newport is the combination of:
Waterfront lifestyle + modern housing + family-friendly environment + proximity to Brisbane.
Families considering Newport have access to a range of schools in Newport and surrounding suburbs.
Nearby education options include:
School catchments and enrolment requirements can change, so buyers should independently confirm the relevant catchment and enrolment requirements with the Queensland Department of Education and individual schools before purchasing.
Newport does not have one single “best” street. Instead, different parts of the suburb appeal to different buyers.
For prestige buyers, waterfront position and outlook are often among the most significant factors influencing value.
Premium attributes can include:
Coolum Parade and Portsea Crescent are among the locations where RP Group has recently sold premium Newport properties, giving Roxanne Paterson direct experience marketing homes within the suburb’s prestige segment.
Newport continues to evolve as an established residential community, with ongoing development of residential land, new homes and supporting infrastructure.
The suburb’s growth has been closely associated with the broader expansion of the Redcliffe Peninsula and Moreton Bay region.
New development can increase housing supply and provide new lifestyle opportunities while also influencing the broader property market.
Property owners considering redevelopment, subdivision or construction should obtain independent planning advice and assess the applicable zoning, overlays and development controls for their individual property.
Newport enters the second half of 2026 from a position of strong historical growth and continued demand for quality homes.
The suburb’s premium waterfront segment is influenced by additional factors beyond the broader Brisbane property market, including scarcity of waterfront land, buyer confidence, construction costs, borrowing capacity and the availability of comparable premium properties.
While future price movements cannot be predicted with certainty, Newport’s combination of lifestyle appeal, established infrastructure and limited waterfront supply provides an important foundation for ongoing buyer interest.
For sellers, the most important question is not simply where the overall market is heading.
It is:
“What is the right buyer prepared to pay for this particular property today?”
That becomes particularly important when selling a unique waterfront or prestige residence.
Newport can appeal to investors seeking exposure to the Moreton Bay coastal property market.
Current data indicates median house rents of approximately $850 per week, with gross rental yields around 3.2%.
However, investors should consider the complete investment proposition rather than rental yield alone.
Important factors include:
Independent financial and investment advice should be obtained before purchasing an investment property.
Selling in Newport requires a different approach depending on the property.
A standard family home, modern townhouse and multimillion-dollar waterfront residence can each require completely different marketing strategies.
For premium Newport property, successful campaigns often focus on storytelling, lifestyle and emotional connection as much as the physical features of the home.
Understanding where the property sits within Newport’s current market and identifying the buyers most likely to value its unique attributes.
Professional photography, video, floorplans, copywriting and presentation are particularly important when marketing prestige property.
Premium properties require exposure beyond the immediate local buyer pool, targeting buyers who have the financial capacity and lifestyle motivation to purchase.
The objective is to identify and engage multiple qualified buyers wherever possible, creating the strongest negotiating position for the seller.
Premium transactions require experienced negotiation and a clear understanding of buyer motivation.
Understanding the differences between waterfront positions, aspects, access, outlooks, land sizes and surrounding properties can be critical when determining value.
Newport offers buyers an opportunity to purchase a contemporary coastal lifestyle within the Moreton Bay region.
Before purchasing, buyers should consider:
For waterfront properties, buyers should also undertake appropriate due diligence regarding the waterway, pontoon or marina infrastructure, access, tides, environmental restrictions and any relevant council or state government requirements.

What is the median house price in Newport?
The current median house price in Newport is approximately $1.64 million, although different property-data providers report slightly different figures depending on their methodology and reporting period.
Are Newport property prices increasing?
Yes. Current market data indicates strong annual growth in Newport’s house market, with REA reporting approximately 13.9% annual growth.
Why are Newport waterfront homes so valuable?
Waterfront homes offer a lifestyle that is relatively scarce, with features such as direct water access, canal frontage, views, boating opportunities and outdoor entertaining. The scarcity and uniqueness of these properties can create a significant premium over comparable non-waterfront homes.
What are Newport waterfront homes worth?
There is no single median value for waterfront homes. Price depends on factors including frontage, aspect, water access, land size, views, architecture, construction quality, pool, pontoon and overall presentation.
The most accurate way to assess a waterfront property’s value is to compare it with recent sales of genuinely comparable waterfront properties.
Who are the best real estate agents in Newport?
When choosing an agent, sellers should consider demonstrated local sales, experience with their particular property type, marketing strategy, buyer database, negotiation ability and client reviews.
Roxanne Paterson and the Ray White RP Group team have recently sold premium Newport properties including 203 Coolum Parade, 13 Portsea Crescent and 168 Coolum Parade.
Is Newport a good suburb to buy in?
Newport appeals to buyers seeking a modern coastal lifestyle, particularly those attracted to waterfront living, contemporary homes, parks and access to the broader Redcliffe Peninsula.
Is Newport a good investment suburb?
Newport can appeal to investors seeking exposure to the Moreton Bay coastal market. Current data indicates median house rents of approximately $850 per week, although investors should consider the property’s purchase price, rental yield, capital growth potential, expenses and future supply.
Should I auction my Newport property?
The best selling method depends on the individual property, likely buyer pool, price point and current market conditions. For premium homes, a tailored campaign may be more appropriate than automatically choosing either auction or private treaty.
How long does it take to sell a house in Newport?
Days on market vary significantly depending on property type and price. Premium waterfront homes can naturally require a longer campaign because the qualified buyer pool is smaller.
How much is my Newport waterfront property worth?
A suburb median is not a reliable measure of a unique waterfront property. The most accurate assessment should consider recent comparable waterfront sales, land size, frontage, aspect, views, water access, improvements and current buyer demand.
What should I look for when buying a Newport waterfront property?
Buyers should consider water access, frontage, aspect, views, tides, pontoon or marina infrastructure, flood and environmental considerations, insurance, maintenance requirements, zoning and comparable recent sales.
