    Spring is here, but what is actually happening on the ground across the Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Central Coast property markets? In this episode of Around the Grounds, Jason Baron is joined by Nick Meredith and Hugo Fonseca to unpack what they’re seeing firsthand across their respective markets as we enter the spring selling season.

They also look at the $40 million Noosa Parade sale, opportunities emerging in Brisbane’s inner-city unit market, replacement costs and supply constraints, first home buyers, the impact of inflation, and what Brisbane’s Olympic infrastructure pipeline could mean for property over the coming years.
