Gold Coast Property Update: The Market Just Turned

Buying Gold Coast

Show Notes

The budget announcement stopped the market cold. For about three weeks barely anyone showed up to opens.

That's turned around now. Open home numbers are back and so is agent confidence. More appraisals usually means more listings on the way.

Matt sits down with Brandon for a chat on where the southern Gold Coast market actually sits. Brandon is one of the lead buyers agents at Srama. Then they walk through three deals the team just secured across the price points that move this market.

Plus the best runs and the new spots worth eating at on the southern end.
