Episode #107 of the Propertybuyer Podcast features Cathy Baker, Principal at Belle Property Killcare and a leading voice in Central Coast prestige real estate.
Cathy shares her insights into why the Central Coast is booming, from Sydney migration and lifestyle shifts to major infrastructure improvements that are reshaping demand. She explains how buyer preferences have evolved, which suburbs are seeing the strongest activity and why prestige properties continue to attract competitive interest.
