The Gold Coast property market is not slowing down. It’s evolving.
I sit down with Andrew Bell, Chairman of Ray White Bell Group, to break down what is really happening in the Gold Coast property market in 2026.
With over 40 years of experience on the ground, Andrew has seen every property cycle. And right now, he is calling one of the strongest markets he has ever witnessed.
Record auction results.
More aggressive buyers than we have seen in years.
Post-COVID migration changed everything.
And a market most people are still underestimating.
If you are thinking about buying property on the Gold Coast, investing, or trying to understand whether this market has already peaked or is just getting started… this is the episode you need. Because most buyers are still getting this wrong.
In this episode, we cover:
What record auction clearance rates reveal about buyer demand
Why the Gold Coast property boom is being driven by supply shortages
The real impact of interest rates on property prices and borrowing power
Why serious buyers are becoming more aggressive in today’s market
The concept of “shoulder suburbs” and where the next growth is likely
Why Southport, Labrador and surrounding pockets are gaining attention
The long-term shift from lifestyle city to economic powerhouse
How interstate migration and wealth transfer are reshaping the market
Why waiting for the “perfect time” could cost you more
