Recently Realestate.com.au publish this article about property sales.
Renting is a different to buying a permanent home. Most people love the lifestyle of living close to the beach, and with all the enquiry we get from our intestate and international clients looking for rental properties, the most sought after areas are:
1.South to Burleigh Heads
2. Miami
3. Mermaid Beach
4. Broadbeach
5. North to Runaway Bay
With that being said, the real estate rental market is very tight, and rental prices have increased considerably due to the short supply and great demand.
When it comes to renting you might have to be a little bit more flexible, and realistic when you are trying to relocate to a property in your budget.
House prices have soared so this also impacts on the rental prices owners are trying to achieve and getting.
Living on the Gold Coast is fantastic, no matter where you choose. Most of the time you can be living within a 15 to 25 minute drive to a beach, even when you choose to live in the hinterland.
A few popular suburbs a short drive to the beach are:
Varsity Lakes and Robina (neighbouring suburbs)
Southport and Labrador
Gaven
Helensvale and Coomera
Elanora
You may be wondering about the areas that were affected by the floods, and this is concern for most people. Wide spread flooding occurred in many Gold Coast suburbs with the continual rainfall from what they called a “rain bomb”. Creeks and rivers broke their banks and then roads were covered with water, back yards began to flood and then in some areas the houses also flooded.
