You better have 6 children living with you and your wife to be wanting a 4-5 bedroom home. And you would be crazy to be spending more than $500,000 for a home.

A mate overseas wants to move there.  I have limited knowledge of the Goldy so recommended around Burleigh or Currumbin. Is the tweed still single mothers paradise?

Coomera appears upper class from the types of expensive housing there, but if the stories are true it's an ice haven.

Did he accept free flights and accommodation to inspect a new development then used the valuer and mortgage broker suggested by the real estate agent?

That sounds exactly like Gordy's kind of neighbourhood.

Streets full of vacuous models holding dead animals would be right up his alley too.

I was just going to suggest Tallebudgera.

We go to the creek for a swim often. It is much better than swimming in the ocean.

If the place is within walking/cycling distance to the creek mouth, that would be a strong attraction to me.

I did not click on that before.

It looks a long way from the beach/creek to me.

Gordon, I'll have a google later and post ideas here.

That location is far too far away from the beach/creek.
No matter what the agent says.

I go down there a bit.

Nice little area around Olsen Ave and Allied Drive, in Arundel, Gordy.

You'd like it there.

Why didn't you share your real estate experience with her and tell her it was a poor investment?

I know someone who lost a lot of money by investing there.


Our neighbours lost a lot of money by investing there too.

They bought 2 homes.

It was a WOFTAM.



Thanks Lisa,
we give good advice here don't we?


I told me mate, the subject of the OP to buy in Sydney and rent a place in the GC.

It is a matter of research. Track listings and sales for a while—a year at least. Lands titles office in the appropriate state might be able to help with sales data. You can see what sells quickly, what does not, where prices are high and low.

Once you sell the old weatherboard dump in Sydney, and move down there, you'll get to know the market well enough.

My advice?

Do not invest anywhere atm unless it's in Sydney and/or Melbourne.  And preferably in that order.

Gordon, I'll have a google later and post ideas here.

That location is far too far away from the beach/creek.
No matter what the agent says.

I go down there a bit.



https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Tallebudgera+Creek,+96A+Ocean+Parade,+Burle...


try around Nineteenth ave, Guineas creek road, Double view drive, Vantage point drive.

Swimming area is by Tallebudgera creek park, Tallebudgera leisure centre.
On the incoming tide is ideal.

Are they after a beach suburb? or a more rural location? Talle and currumbin valley are nice but in the bush. Still only 10 - 15 minute drive to the beach.
My favourite location is Burleigh. Especially anything near the headland.

The Gold Coast is risky -
I know someone who lost a lot of money by investing there.


Did he accept free flights and accommodation to inspect a new development then used the valuer and mortgage broker suggested by the real estate agent?



It was she & she lived in Coolangatta so knew the area well.


Did she buy off the plan from a shoddy builder or just overpay?



She just overpaid thinking that property would go up -
but it went down in price.



Unlike Sydney and Melbourne where for decades the price has only gone up, the Gold Coast market fluctuates. There are over half a million holiday units here, all owned by investors. As soon as there is a bump in the economy anywhere in the country the investors from those locations sell their property on the gold coast, causing prices here to fall.

If you buy when the market is peaking, you risk losing money on a downturn. If on the other hand you buy during a downturn, you can make a lot of money.

At the moment the market is pretty high, although there are still a lot of good buys out there.

I was just going to suggest Tallebudgera.

We go to the creek for a swim often. It is much better than swimming in the ocean.

If the place is within walking/cycling distance to the creek mouth, that would be a strong attraction to me.


Isn't there bull sharks in that creek?


there are bull sharks in all our waterways. Just don't swim at dusk or dawn and you'll be fine

There are a few pockets where you could get burned (short term), and then only for apartments where there is oversupply in a few places like Waterloo.

If you buy a block of land within 30km of the CBD, unless you really stuff up, long term negative movement is just about impossible given the population/immigration projections for Sydney.

Does the quality residential market fluctuate with the investment stock?

And what is the most recognisably prestige suburb? I'm guessing Burliegh?

yep ... I know of properties going for $950k+ pre gfc that dropped to sub 6's post GFC.

Most prestigious suburb is probably Main Beach (full of arrogant wankers), Burleigh Heads would be up there. Most expensive street is Hedges Ave at Mermaid Beach (commonly referred to as millionaire row), Sovereign Island is also fairly posh (don't know why, I don't like it). There are many other suburbs all up and down the coast that have 'expensive' pockets. I'd stay away from Coolangatta unless they're looking for an investment property.

Demand is still insane.
I went thru a knocker downer yesterday with dual oc potential.  Offered 2.5 and got knocked back as it has to go to auction as it's a deceased estate.

There were about 5 builder types sniffing around it too

I went thru a knocker downer yesterday with dual oc potential.  Offered 2.5 and got knocked back as it has to go to auction as it's a deceased estate.

There were about 5 builder types sniffing around it too


Yep....Sydney and Melbourne have a long way to go before any market correction takes place.

And that's a fact!

I bought a house in Melbourne 1 year ago.
I have only a tiny mortgage & the prices went up 16% in that time.
I'm well ahead & it was the best thing I've ever done.

It's getting harder to buy/develop and flip.

The place I saw yesterday could be done if bought for 2.5 but would need to bring in builders from a lower wage economy.

Spending that $2.50 would mean your kids might have to put on another pair of tracky dacks just to keep warm.

Keep it for heating, Gordy.

Of course it is.

But you can and should get in while you can.

It's way beyond Gordy's, too.

He usually likes to keep it down to just $2.

He needs to save all his money for heating bills, and tracky dacks for the kids.

Where can I get me one of those coin operated gas heaters?
If she wants heat she can raid her piggy bank.

Anyway, it's a balmy 20 here today.

Gordon, I'll have a google later and post ideas here.

That location is far too far away from the beach/creek.
No matter what the agent says.

I go down there a bit.



https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Tallebudgera+Creek,+96A+Ocean+Parade,+Burle...


try around Nineteenth ave, Guineas creek road, Double view drive, Vantage point drive.

Swimming area is by Tallebudgera creek park, Tallebudgera leisure centre.
On the incoming tide is ideal.


Nice and close to the beach. The place I linked to further back, what would be the real world driving times to the beach? Google maps says 12 mins. What about on Saturday/Sunday morning when everyones heading to school spot, beach, nipper etc.

Does the traffic get poo there?

google maps are usually quite good.
It looked a lot more than that.

Yes, traffic gets busy.

There is a world of difference between walking/cycling down for a swim and 'packing the car' to drive down for a swim.

We can cycle to the beach quicker than driving/parking but it's all about the kids, surfboards and stuff Smiley

If I ever moved, it would be for the combination of acreage (even if it's only 2-3) with access to the beach.

Hi, if you want an acerage (or 2 or 3) and able to ride to the beach, then you will struggle with 1 to 1.5 on gold coast main areas.  Perhaps go up north a bit more, if you prefer QLD, or south if you prefer NSW.   

For 1 to 1.5, if you want the location, then, suggest smaller blocks on Mermaid beach - on the beach side.  If you are looking for own property.   For investment, I say, instead of sinking all your gold into one 1.5 property, go with 2 to 3 smaller properties with bigger land component.  So may be duplex, 1970s flats, or small houses. 

In terms of gold coast as a whole area.  I think you missed the bottom by about 3 years, its getting towards the peak.  Everyone is saying its going to up further after commonwealth games, but I have my reservations.  The commonwealth village is going to provide extra supply with good infrastructure to Southport.  And that may have a flow on effect to gold coast.  Plus, we dont know how China will go given the un-predictable Trump presidency, so we dont know how tourism will go.   I be inclined to wait until the dust settles after the commonwealth games next year and wait and see.
