  • Body corporate fees apply to this property – which will be paid by Endeavour for the first twelve months

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

$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.

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

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

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-broadbeach+waters-116306455

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. 

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-qld-surfers+paradise-116361595
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 :).

Million dollar Gold Coast properties 6 March 2014

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



75 Hooker Boulevard Broadbeach Waters
$1,000,000. 4 bed, 3 bath, 2 car. I really like this property, it's simple and practical. The location is great, it's modern and the design just makes sense. 

 http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-parkwood-116274095
  $1,150,000. 5 bed. 3 bath. 2 car. Great location close to the hospital and Griffith University. Well presented. And that's just the main house, there is also a guest house! 

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-clear+island+waters-116268367
152 Port Jackson Boulevard Clear Island Waters
$2,990,000. 5 bed. 6 bath. 4 car. This property would make a Chinese buyer very happy.  Indoor pool. Ensuited rooms. Great location. Easy to look after.

The purpose of these posts is not to criticize but simple to try to raise the standards. Demanding better for million dollar property ads. 



41 Anembo Street Chevron Island Qld 4217
 It's dark and the ad is a little confusing. I actually think this is a pretty cool deal- buy one live in the other. But I almost didn't click into the ad because it looked like someone had died there. 

32 North Bank Court Helensvale
I really love this area. It's a beautiful place to have a walk and the houses are gorgeous. A bit hotter than the rest of the Gold Coast. This is an otherwise appealing family home, but I question the placement of all these toys everywhere. 

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-sanctuary+cove-116255987
4665 The Parkway Sanctuary Cove Qld 4212
This house has large spacious living areas, but for a million dollar home, why is this room so cramped? 

116/40 Cotlew Street East Southport
What the? My guess is that they used some sort of camera panorama but it didn't work. 


26 Braeside Court Maudsland Qld 4210
It's always a bit scary when there are no internal photos and the property is described as a renovator. 

 
30 Holyrood Rd Maudsland
I took a double take here. What on earth is that? Zoomed in, just rocks. The rest of this ad wasn't flattering. And I'm not sure if it's the lighting or whether the property does in fact look dull and aged with questionnable colour schemes. 

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-mermaid+waters-116292199

14 Salamander Court Mermaid Waters
I wonder if you picked it up. Questionnanble coloured feature walls with tiny, tiny paintings in each room. Not the fault of the real estate agent, but this combination simply makes all the rooms smaller and less welcoming. 

 85 Whiting Street Labrador
I'm pretty sure there was something the real estate agent could have done to make it clear about what they were selling. I think this is an awesome little buy. It's hard to find 3 titles in one like this.

Wow, budget buys are really drying up on the Gold Coast. 

Unit @ 2753 Gold Coast Highway Broadbeach

$175,000. 1 bed, 1 bath, 1 car. A nice location and decently sized. A really large kitchen and living area for a 1 bedroom place. Will be really close to the light rail when that opens this year. Body corp is on the high side. Also check sinking fund before visiting. 

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-unit-qld-mermaid+beach-116258203

27/38-46 Petrel Avenue Mermaid Beach

$189,000. 1 bed. 1 bath. 1 car. Again, this one has a high body corp for a one bedder. I'm being sneaky here because internally it's only 46m2, after you include the patio, it meets our criteria. Interiors are only slightly dated- nothing new cupboard doors can't fix. Decent sized and great location for a relaxed lifestyle.

What I love

- large walk in wardrobe for master bedroom
- everything is rectangular- makes for less space wastage
- snooker table :P
- large bedrooms
- simple sleek designs
- love the size of the pool
- plenty of grass to roll around in

What I don't love
- all of the bedrooms are upstairs
- in the master bedroom, the wardrobe can only be access through bathroom
- it's not really free flowing with separate rooms
- won't be an easy house to look after
- won't suit older people- sleeping areas upstairs
- location is a bit far away from the action- so won't suit busy working couples

That being said, it seems like a lovely family home that you can watch your children grow old in. It will really suit families. Great schools are a bit far away, but it's expected that you will be driving a lot if you live in the hinterland.
Sold for $1,425,000 in November without furnishings.
