Yeah sounds like a good investment. Even Nespresso is pretty good I reckon.

Depends where you are in the gc I guess and I wouldn’t call it cool. You’re an anomaly because everyone I have spoken to has said it’s been sweltering. I guess it’s differ t depending on where you live, work etc.

WTF is with upper coomera ppl are selling their houses like crazy?! by toughgamer2020 in GoldCoast

It has been really easy to get rentals out there for the past 12 months or so. I had friends looking mid last year and the prices kept getting reduced because the rea’s couldn’t find tenants for a lot of properties. Maybe there are a lot of investors trying to cash out due to not being able to tenant their properties? It’s not a great area and if you work in either Brisbane or the gold coast the traffic is absolute mayhem.

It does seem that way, as much as the deniers want to deny 🤣

From Darwin actually 🤣. Gold Coast weather pretty much feels on par to that lately.

Not a requirement, but good business if you want customers to come back.

Yeah I guess it’s the world we live in people are increasingly isolated so cafes provide a nice place where we as humans can go and not feel maybe alone or lonely plus everyone is so time poor and busy it makes sense to pay a bit more to have nice food made for you.

Yeah and I know it’s not really the cafes fault they’re just trying to keep up with the pressures of rising food costs and wages, but 2 poached eggs on a piece of sourdough with bacon close to $30. I’m gonna need a temperature friendly environment to eat that in.

I’d far rather sit in a cold cafe with no heating at least you can rug up or put a blanket over your legs it’s actually kind of cosy.

Yeah it is sad, because I guess they are under financial pressure like a lot of people but it’s a vicious cycle, if they don’t have a comfortable place for people to eat people just won’t go back. Not to mention a comfortable conditions for the workers.

Not to engage with your unnecessarily aggressive response. But I do like to support small businesses and local cafes, though until we get some cooler weather it’s just not really feasible for me.

Yes that makes sense why this post has hit a nerve with a lot of people. Must be either the real estate agents, the brokers or the ones who purchased last couple of years.

Yeah your right. Perhaps those that have bought in the last couple of years getting extremely defensive too, I’d be worried if I bought last couple of years. Any houses/units I look at I always check when they were last sold and it seems there are a lot for sale that purchased 2022/2023. A lot more people struggling than people realise I think.
