    See that building from the spa? That's my old place.

    I wouldn't live in Main Beach without a view. What's the point? Something needs to trade off the noise.

    High end suburbs with low numbers of sales don't produce reliable data. If a few of the SUPER nice houses sell one year and then a few of the more "standard" ones sell the next, it looks like prices have plummeted when in fact, just different types of dwelling sold.

    Worth a shot. I didn't know the previous sale prices of the first two properties I bought. I've learnt a lot since then, don't worry.

    The GC is on the verge of a boom. Smart money just starting to move in now. So yes its quite possible.

    Hi BM
    Gold Coast may be moving, but smart money does not buy over priced houses in this price bracket. They generally looking for yield, development sites etc.

    Good luck if they get what they want, but it they have it well over market value, it will sit on the market, and they have shot themselves in the foot. I have seen this happen time and time again, this is not smart thing to do when selling.

    MTR:)

    According to that article, it already is booming:

    "And it’s not just the luxury end of the market that is doing well, with the lower end booming.

    The median sale price for houses grew by 6.4 per cent to $550,000 for the 12 months to August according to CoreLogic."

    Yes. But again the properties vary from beautiful homes on big blocks to bog standard brick 3/1s.

    OK, right.
    So this area has potential for developers to jump, I don't know this area at all.

    MTR, I haven't looked into it greatly, but it wouldn't immediately spring to mind of suburb with development potential. It's nearly as far inland as accessible suburbia has spread, about 10-15mins drive into Southport. I believe there is the potential for loads of supply as it is heading away from the beach, with no natural limit. Maybe small stuff/splitter blocks, but I think an apartment block would be out of place with so much in competition closer to the beach and jobs. Others are probably more knowledgeable - I'm looking at the Coast (always), but not here.

    Thanks
    Where are you looking, if you don't mind sharing??

    Interesting that the GC is on the move, it has been down for so many year.

    Yeah Nerang is a funny place the houses out the back are beautiful and on acreage. I don't think you will see developers in Nerang right now there are some new developments going in around the train station. Nerang is very popular for first home buyers as its affordable. There is this new estate going in at Worongary that will bring a lot of new stock on the market in the future. They are likening it to Varisty Lakes. http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au...ts-in-3500-homes/story-fnjdgobq-1227271871634
