It was standing room only as more than 2000 people turned out for Ray White’s mega Gold Coast auction. Picture Glenn Hampson“The common thread among these buyers is that the Gold Coast is the market to be in, and they are showing more confidence than ever before. “The huge economic stimulus from $14 billion in infrastructure spending, including for the Commonwealth Games, and billions more in private development has also had a ripple effect on consumer confidence through the thousands of new jobs created on the Gold Coast.“People are conscious that Sydney and Melbourne have had a very long run of property price growth and that this has to come to an end at some point. “This has made the Gold Coast a really attractive marketplace from a value perspective.”Today’s auction card is a record, with listings up about 20 properties on last year’s event figures.
