Around The Grounds #22 - Could today's buyer hesitation create tomorrow's surge in demand?
Has the spring selling season actually kicked in, or are buyers and sellers still sitting on the sidelines?
In Episode 22 of Around the Grounds, Jason Baron is joined by Nick Meredith and Hugo Fonseca from The Property Baron to unpack what's really happening across the Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Central Coast NSW property markets.
While spring traditionally brings more listings and buyer activity, this season is playing out differently. Buyers are cautious, sellers are holding back and some properties are spending longer on the market.
But that doesn't mean opportunities aren't there.
In this episode, we discuss:
Brisbane property market: Increasing stock levels, buyer hesitation and opportunities to negotiate.
Noosa & Sunshine Coast: A quieter spring selling season, premium property activity and growing off-market opportunities.
Central Coast NSW: Price adjustments, motivated sellers and opportunities in the prestige market.
Off-market properties: Why established relationships with local selling agents can give buyers access to properties before they're publicly advertised.
Auctions & negotiations: Why more agents are turning to auction campaigns and what's happening with subject-to-sale contracts.
Interest rates & property investment: How economic uncertainty is influencing decisions and why choosing the right location matters.
The big question: Could today's buyer hesitation create tomorrow's surge in demand?
Jason, Nick and Hugo share their observations from the ground, including where they're seeing opportunities and why understanding individual markets is more important than following national headlines.
No headlines. No hype. Just real conversations, local knowledge and property insights from the people working in these markets every day.
Giving buyers the advantage.

Around The Grounds #21 - Rate Rises, Prestige Property & What the Headlines Miss
What do another interest rate rise, the Budget and dramatic property headlines mean for buyers on the ground?
Jason Baron, Nick Meredith and Hugo Fonseca unpack the latest market conversation, including how borrowing power and buyer confidence are affecting decisions. They also question whether some media headlines reflect what they’re seeing at inspections and in negotiations.
Across Brisbane, Noosa, the Sunshine Coast and the NSW Central Coast, the team discusses rising stock levels, more off-market opportunities, changing seller expectations and what’s happening at the prestige end of the market.
More choice can give buyers time to do their homework and room to negotiate. But a property that’s been sitting on the market isn’t automatically a bargain. The team explains why local knowledge, due diligence and the right price still matter.
Real conversations and on-the-ground insight from The Property Baron’s buyers agents.

On The Ground in Noosa with Adrian Reed from Reed & Co
Noosa’s Million-Dollar Pockets: Where Would a Local Agent Buy?
Which streets command the highest prices in Noosa, and which pockets could buyers be overlooking?
Welcome to On the Ground, The Property Baron’s podcast where our buyers agents sit down with local real estate agents to talk about the properties, people and market shifts they’re seeing firsthand.
In this episode, Jason Baron, Director and Principal Buyers Agent at The Property Baron, speaks with Adrian Reed of Reed & Co. Born and raised in Noosa, Adrian shares his view of the waterfront market and explains why two homes on the water can have very different values.
Jason and Adrian cover what buyers should look for in Noosa Sound and Noosa Waters, including aspect, privacy, frontage and proximity to Hastings Street. Adrian also names a pocket near the Noosaville riverfront that he believes deserves more attention, and shares his outlook for the Noosa property market heading into 2027.
They go beyond the listings too, talking about Adrian’s journey into real estate, the art of negotiation and why giving back to the Noosa community is central to Reed & Co.
In this episode:
What drives value in Noosa’s waterfront streets
How Noosa Sound and Noosa Waters compare
Adrian’s pick for an overlooked Noosaville pocket
Where he sees opportunities for buyers heading into 2027
The work behind building a successful local real estate business
Whether you’re looking to buy in Noosa, considering a waterfront home or simply want to understand the local market better, this is a conversation worth hearing.
