Some Gold Coast pockets are up 85% in five years. So the question everyone's asking is fair enough, trees don't grow to the sky, so is the market about to crash?

Matt gives his honest answer: this is a market normalising, not crashing. He explains why the Gold Coast doesn't boom and bust the way a mining town does, and the two things he rarely says publicly because people don't want to hear them.

We also get to your questions on what AI will and won't replace in a buyers agent's role, the minimum spend for quality commercial property in an SMSF, and whether townhouses are a good first investment.
