Gold Coast homes sitting unsold for 60 to 180 days doubled from March to August. Where does 16 Daryl Drive sit?

Gold Coast homes listed for 60 to 180 days rose from 1,288 in March to 2,618 in August (SQM Research). A rising count of homes sitting unsold has historically been associated with downward pressure on asking prices.
