What I love
 - Seems like a really practical home. Great use of space.
- Built in wardrobes in all rooms
-  Not really a luxury home, but the furnishings are practical and easy to maintain


What I don't love
- It's a bit hotter in Coomera than other places
- A bit far away from the action of Gold Coast and Brisbane
-  no bedroom on the botton floor for those with disabilities, considering the charity, this is a real lapse in judgement.
- A shower on the lower level would have been great considering the inclusion of a pool


This would be a fantastic home or investment property, I would be tending towards the latter due to the location. It's a great community and a great cause.
$10 a ticket

Not many live in options this week.

145/2342 Gold Coast Highway Mermaid Beach

$160,000. 1 Bed, 1 bath. Perfect as an investment, but there is a live in option so it's included here. There are high up keep costs considering it's usually holiday rental.  Great location and facilities. 


Too many to count. All flooding the market. It's really a buyers market out there with all these fresh choices. Here are my top picks. 


66 O'Grady dr Paradise Point
$1,675,000. 5 bed, 4 bath, 4 car.  Great sized bedrooms. Sleek design. Great location. Huge kitchen.


Broadbeach Waters Qld 4218
4 bed, 3 bath, 2 car. Perfect for the young family. Stunning and spacious waterfront. Wish I knew the exact location though. 



116/40 Cotlew Street East Southport Qld 4215
$1.250,000. 5 bed, 3 bath, 2 car. Great location. Practical space.  

2 Duringan Street Currumbin Qld 4223
$1,995,000. 4 bed, 4 bath, 7 car. You aren't buying a house here, you are buying a lifestyle. Great for entertainment and chilling. 






14 Palmetto Court Broadbeach Waters Qld 4218
$1695,000. 5 bed, 4 bath, 2 car. A beautiful property renting at A$100,000 a year. Nice. It's really very nicely presented for that purpose. 

Another great investment choice. 3 waterfront units returning 3 units at $1235.00 per week (current return).


Another flood of $1 million dollar properties on the market this week.

While clean, I'm not sure these photos really show this property off as a million dollar property. Could just as well be any house in Nerang. But if it's structurally strong, this wouldn't take much to elevate the value of this home.

This propety has potential, but the furnishings are simily a turn off. I wish there was less greens and blues. 

I took some time studying this picture, what on earth was that bright green line. A hose, that would have taken 30 seconds to move. I love the interior of the house really, nicely furnished, but the exterior is a bit of a let down.

 Garbage bags? Really? In a million dollar ad? And I'm not quite sure what the real estate agent is trying to show with the stranger angles in the pictures. 

But these are minor critiques. The quality of ads seem to have improved over the last couple of weeks :).
