Just Listed: 4 Guiness Close, White Rock — 4 Bed, 2 Bath, Double Garage, 640m², Leased at $680/Week

There is a gap in the White Rock market right now, and this listing sits directly inside it.

Every other four-bedroom house on the market in White Rock with real land under it is priced from $829,000. Every comparable four-bedroom house that has actually sold in the past two months has landed between $750,000 and $845,000.

4 Guiness Close is asking offers over $699,000 — and it is already returning $680 per week on a fixed lease until February 2027.

That is the whole story in three lines. The rest of this article is the evidence.

The Home

Set on approximately 640m² in a quiet residential close, with approximately 160m² under roof.

• Four bedrooms

• King-sized master with ensuite and walk-in robe

• Two bathrooms

• Two separate living areas

• Built-in robes and air conditioning to bedrooms

• Generous open-plan living and dining with excellent natural light

• Covered outdoor entertaining area

• Spacious, usable backyard

• Side access

• Double garage

• Security screens throughout

• Smoke alarm compliant, safety switch installed

Two living areas and side access are the two features that separate a house that works for a family from a house that merely fits one. Kids' retreat, media room, home office, or somewhere to shut the door for an hour. Side access means the boat, the trailer, the camper or the van has somewhere to go.

The Numbers

• Price guide: Offers over $699,000

• Current rent: $680 per week

• Lease type: Fixed, until February 2027

• Approximate gross annual rent: $35,360

• Indicative gross yield at $699,000: approximately 5.1%

• Council rates: approximately $1,633.46 per half-year

• Insurance: approximately $2,000 per annum

• Land: approximately 640m²

• Home: approximately 160m²

For an investor, the biggest question is already answered. Not a rental estimate — a signed lease, a real tenant, and a real figure. Income from settlement day.

For an owner-occupier, the tenancy needs to be understood before anything else: the property is leased until February 2027 and you would be purchasing subject to that existing tenancy. If your move-in timeline is inside that window, this one may not suit. If your timeline is 2027 — or you are flexible — you can secure the home now, let the lease run, keep saving, and take possession following the end of the fixed term subject to the relevant tenancy requirements.

White Rock Market Analysis — August 2026

Sourced from the Cotality Suburb Profile Report for White Rock QLD 4868, prepared 26 August 2026.

The suburb

White Rock covers approximately 9.5 square kilometres with eight parks. Population sat at 4,918 at the 2021 Census, up 4.0% over five years. The predominant age group is 0–9 years. Owner-occupancy rose from 53.40% in 2016 to 58.50% in 2021, and average length of ownership is nine years.

That is a family suburb where people arrive and then stay. Nine years of average tenure means stock does not churn — which is exactly why the current listing count matters.

The four figures that define this market

Twenty houses on the market. Out of 1,444 dwellings, and against 78 listed across the whole year. That is roughly a quarter of the annual supply available at any one time, in a suburb of nearly five thousand people.

Median value up more than 20% year on year. The change in median value peaked near 23% in early 2025 and has held above 18% ever since, sitting around 20–21% into 2026. Median house value has climbed from roughly $320,000 in mid-2021 to $685,009 today.

Median days on market in single digits. The most recent reading sits under ten days, down from eighteen in early 2022. Houses are not sitting.

Median vendor discount at effectively zero. The discount line has moved from around -3% in 2022 to essentially nil in 2026. Sellers are not negotiating down off their asking price, because they do not have to.

The rental side

Median asking rent for White Rock houses has moved from roughly $430 per week in early 2022 to approximately $615 per week now. 4 Guiness Close is leased at $680 — comfortably above suburb median, and consistent with the four-bedroom rental listings currently on the market at $750 and $780 per week.

Indicative gross yield has compressed from 6.4% in 2022 to around 5.0% today. That compression is not a rent problem. Rents rose. Values simply rose faster. Which means anything currently achieving above 5% is doing so because the purchase price is sharp, not because the rent is inflated.

At $699,000 with $35,360 in gross annual rent, 4 Guiness Close indicates around 5.1% — above the suburb-wide figure, on a fixed lease, with a real tenant already in place.

 

If You Are Buying

Get pre-approved before you inspect. Seven of the ten four-bedroom houses on the market this month were committed inside weeks. With median days on market in single digits, you view, you decide, you offer. There is rarely a second weekend to think about it.

Chase land content under $750,000. That is the pocket clearing fastest, and the pocket new builds cannot compete with on block size.

 

 

If You Are Selling

Twenty houses on the market against 78 listed across the year. Median value up more than 20%. Vendor discounting at effectively zero. Days on market in single digits. Buyers pre-approved, competing, and short on options.

Most owners in this position assume the safe move is to wait for a better market.

How certain are you that a market with 20 houses on it and buyers queuing gets meaningfully better than this?

Arizona Crescent proves the other half of it. A guide of offers over $650,000 brought competition, and competition delivered $690,000. Price sets the speed. Competition sets the number.

That is how 30 Kidman Street reached $766,100 as well.

 

 

Inspect 4 Guiness Close

Four bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Two living areas. Double garage. Side access. Approximately 640m². Leased at $680 per week until February 2027.

Offers over $699,000.
