The State of Scarborough Property.
After 42 years selling Scarborough property, I can tell you this market doesn't behave like other coastal suburbs. The buyer pool here is more discerning. The price points reflect genuine quality. And well-presented homes — particularly those with water views, marina access, or peninsula position — consistently outperform the median.
Right now, Scarborough is one of the established premium suburbs in the Moreton Bay region. Median values sit above $1.22M. Annual growth is tracking around 6.3% — a steadier pace than the spike years, which is what a mature market looks like. Homes are selling in around 42 days, reflecting the more considered pace of higher-end buyer decisions.
If you're considering selling in Scarborough, the question isn't whether you'll find a buyer. The question is how to position your property to achieve the result your home actually deserves.
Above the Median
Median values now sit above $1.22M — and that figure understates what well-positioned Scarborough homes actually achieve. Waterfront, beachfront, and marina-proximate properties consistently command meaningful premiums above the median.
Qualified Buyer Pool
Scarborough attracts a particular buyer — established families, downsizers seeking the marina lifestyle, and Brisbane sea-changers wanting a peninsula address with substance. That demand is consistent year-round.
Considered Decisions
At around 42 days on market, Scarborough sits in the considered-decision range for premium property — buyers at this price point take time, but the qualified buyer pool is consistently there.
Long-Term Performance
Annual growth around 6.3% — steadier than the spike years, but consistent with what Scarborough has done over the long term. This is a market that rewards patient, well-positioned sellers, not panic listings.

Maddie Dolan — Selling Scarborough Since 1981.
Founder, Century 21 Maddies Hermans
I sold my first property on the Redcliffe Peninsula in 1981. Since then, I've helped thousands of families sell their homes here. Some of them have listed with me two or three times across the decades.
I founded Century 21 Maddies Hermans in 2012 after running my own independent agency for more than 20 years. Through the Century 21 network — over 200,000 agents worldwide — I've been recognised every year since 2012 as a top 2% performer, with Grand Centurion, Double Centurion, and Hall of Fame inductions along the way.
But what I'd rather you take from this: the majority of my new business comes from past clients referring family, friends, and neighbours. That happens because I do what I say I'll do — and because my motto, Whatever It Takes, isn't a tagline. It's the standard I've held myself to for 42 years.
When you list with me, you get me. Not a junior, not a team member. And not an appraisal designed to win the listing.

The Agency Behind the Agent.
I started Maddies Realty in 2003. In 2012, we joined the Century 21 network and became Century 21 Maddies Hermans — gaining the global brand recognition and resources of one of the largest real estate networks in the world, without losing what made us work in the first place: a local team that genuinely knows this peninsula at a street level.
The firm has earned a reputation across two decades for marketing waterfront, canal-front, and luxury homes — but we cover the full range of property and the full peninsula: Scarborough, Redcliffe, Margate, Newport, Clontarf, Woody Point, Kippa-Ring, and the surrounds.
Decades of Local Knowledge:
A team that has lived, worked, and sold on the peninsula across multiple market cycles — so we know what genuinely shifts the needle for a Scarborough sale.
Premium Marketing:
Considered marketing campaigns — digital, print, social, and direct — designed for the buyer profile your property attracts, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Active Buyer Database:
A live database of qualified buyers, including interstate buyers, downsizers, and waterfront-property seekers actively watching the Scarborough market.
End-to-End Support:
Every administrative detail handled by my team — from listing through to settlement — so your focus stays on the move, not the paperwork.

I Do the Work
Recent comparable sales in Scarborough, current active listings, and what's happening with the buyer pool right now — all of it goes into an accurate picture of where your property sits today.
We Talk Through It
You get a personalised appraisal report based on actual market data. We sit down — in person, by phone, or on video — and walk through it together. The numbers, your timing, your options. No pitch, no pressure.
Inside Your Appraisal Report.
A Scarborough property appraisal from me isn't a single number. It's a working document — the price range, the comparable evidence behind it, and the strategic context you need to make a confident decision. Sell now, sell in six months, or sit on it for two years — the report serves you either way.
A Defensible Price Range
A specific price range — with the comparable sales and market evidence backing every dollar of it. Inflated to win your business is not my approach.
The Comparable Sales
The specific properties I'm using to price yours — laid out so you can see how the comparison was made. Matched by size, condition, position, and street-level context.
Who's Buying in Scarborough
The buyer profile actively looking for a property like yours — including which features they pay premiums for and which they won't. Useful for both pricing and presentation.
Strategic Notes
Honest guidance on the work worth doing — and the work that won't move the needle on price. Better to spend nothing on the wrong renovation than $20,000 on advice from an agent who doesn't know your market.

In Their Own Words.
A few recent words from clients who've sold with me. These are people's actual reactions, written in their own time, posted publicly.
"Had a great experience with Maddie and everyone at Century 21 Scarborough. Great knowledge of the area and no messing about, very straightforward. Place was sold within 30 days. Thanks to Maddie, Brendon and the entire team."
"Maddie's knowledge of the market and what we could expect to achieve and timeframe was spot on. We couldn't have been more happy with the outcome."
"We found the whole process very easy as Maddie was accurate in her knowledge and valuation of the property. There was only one open house before a contract was signed, and Maddie kept us informed during the whole process up to settlement"
