 A young tradie who has been working since he was a teenager has revealed the creative workaround he has discovered to enter the property market. Jared Johnston, 26, lives on the Gold Coast and is a plumber. He rents in a share house and is careful with his spending, yet cannot afford to buy his first home – despite entering the workforce at just 14 years old. The median price for a home on the Gold Coast reached $1.32 million in 2025. The sunny city is catching up with Australia’s most expensive city, Sydney, where the median house price is over $1.5 million. The Gold Coast is fast becoming an unaffordable destination for first-home buyers, and since Mr Johnston is single, trying to buy a property – even with a decent wage – is near-impossible with one income.

 Seasonal changes in Gold Coast homes can make bond cleaning more challenging for tenants. During the wet season, increased humidity and rain can lead to dampness, mould, and water stains that need extra attention. Summer brings dust, sand, and pollen that can accumulate on floors, windows, and outdoor areas, requiring thorough cleaning. Tenants may also need to tackle cobwebs, insect marks, or salt residue near coastal properties. Preparing for these seasonal issues in advance, using the right cleaning products, and paying attention to details can help ensure the property meets inspection standards and increase the chances of getting the full bond back.
