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.

  $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!

Million dollar flops 6 March 2014

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.

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.

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.

Gold Coast Cheap as Chips-6 March 2014

Posted By:Kikoprincess | At:08:04 Be the first to comment!
The criteria we are using here:
- Must be inhabitable by anyone (excludes retirement only, student only accomodation, holiday let only, investment only)
- Must have a bedroom (excludes studios), minimum 50m2
- Under A$200,000
- Not under contract

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.

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.
