Gold Coast buyers are making costly mistakes right now, and most do not realise it until after they have signed.
In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Srama Buyers Agents Morgan D’Souza, Amelia Nankervis and Ian Perkins to talk about the biggest mistakes buyers are making in the Gold Coast property market in 2026.
We talk about why the market is still competitive, why buyers feel pressure to act quickly, and what can go wrong when you rush into a property without fully understanding what you are buying.
This episode covers things buyers need to know, like body corporate fees, strata checks, hidden costs, negotiation mistakes and the risk of overpaying.
It is not just about buying a property. It is about buying the right property, at the right price, with a clear understanding of what it could really cost you.
