The 4217 might be the most important postcode on the Gold Coast in 2026.

In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with local specialist Jacqui Forrester to break down why Surfers Paradise, Bundall, Sorrento and the wider 4217 pocket are seeing strong buyer demand and long-term growth.

This is not just a popular postcode. It is one of the most strategically positioned areas on the Gold Coast.

We unpack what is driving demand, who is moving in, and how to position before prices shift again.
