  The Gold Coast Suburbs a Luxury Builder Would Buy in 2026

  Aug 17, 202650 min

  Surfers Paradise didn't make the list. Neither did Mermaid Beach. These are the ten most expensive Gold Coast suburbs for units right now, counted down from ten to one. We're going off median prices, not one-off sales. That's exactly why some of the names you'd expect are missing. Matt runs through why each suburb made the list and where the value still sits in every suburb. The top three surprised a lot of people. Number one isn't a suburb most buyers have on their radar. Gold Coast Buyers Agency https://www.thesramagroup.com/ In this episode, we cover: The 10 most expensive Gold Coast suburbs for units, counted down from #10 to #1 Why Surfers Paradise and Mermaid Beach miss the list entirely Broadbeach Waters, Currumbin and Runaway Bay — canal front units and why they're surging Why Broadbeach makes the list despite high density and cheap one-bedders Miami — the suburb Matt tips to break into the top five within 24 months Palm Beach Gold Coast: from $700K to over $1.2M in roughly 12 months, and why Burleigh Heads now rivals Broadbeach Coolangatta, Greenmount and Rainbow Bay — plus an off market unit the team secured under $1M against a $1.3M median Main Beach, the Marina Mirage redevelopment, and the older high rises worth renovating The surprise at #1, why limited supply makes it hold, and the unit type Matt looks for everywhere — low-set brick walk-ups, blocks of six to eight, strong land to asset ratio Prices are medians sourced from realestate.com.au and other market data at time of recording.

  Gold Coast Property Q&A: Market Crash, Rents & Townhouses

  Aug 11, 202617 min

  Some Gold Coast pockets are up 85% in five years. So the question everyone's asking is fair enough, trees don't grow to the sky, so is the market about to crash? Matt gives his honest answer: this is a market normalising, not crashing. He explains why the Gold Coast doesn't boom and bust the way a mining town does, and the two things he rarely says publicly because people don't want to hear them. We also get to your questions on what AI will and won't replace in a buyers agent's role, the minimum spend for quality commercial property in an SMSF, and whether townhouses are a good first investment. Got a question for the show? We mention a dedicated email in this episode — that's still in the works. For now, the fastest way to get your question answered is to drop it in the YouTube comments or send us a DM on Instagram: @buyinggoldcoast or @matt_srama. We pull the questions for these Q&A eps straight from there. Gold Coast Buyers Agency https://www.thesramagroup.com/ In this episode, we cover: Why 85% growth was never going to continue, and why that's a good thing Gold Coast property crash or market normalising — the difference explained Supply and demand on the Gold Coast, and why a landlocked city behaves differently Why one-industry towns boom and bust, and what that means for Australian property investors The thing Matt rarely says publicly, and why your rent is going up AI in real estate — what it replaces and what it never will Why authenticity is about to become more valuable, not less Minimum spend for quality commercial property in an SMSF on the Gold Coast Are townhouses a good first investment?
