Investors are not just buying childcare properties. They are buying established income streams.
Over the past 12 months, Arealytics recorded 66 childcare property sales across Greater SEQ, with a total sales volume of $355.7M. The median sale price was $4.4M, and the average yield 5.0%.
Most sold with a tenant in place
83.0% of the childcare properties sold were already tenanted — around 55 of the 66 sales. That points to strong demand for assets with immediate rental income and reduced leasing risk.
Larger assets lift the average
Spread across 66 sales, the $355.7M total works out to an average of around $5.4M per property, above the $4.4M median. That gap means a number of larger, higher-value centres traded alongside the typical sale.
Confidence in stable tenancy
The results reflect continued investor confidence in childcare assets backed by stable tenancy and predictable cash flow. For owners considering a sale, a secure lease in place is what this buyer pool is paying for.
