Apartments outperform houses in capital growth, challenging traditional real estate beliefs.
– Australian investors are shifting to apartments for lower prices, higher yields, and better capital growth.
– Increased demand for well-located apartments is driven by down-sizers, investors, and rising construction costs.
Investors in the Australian property market are increasingly turning to apartments, which offer lower prices, higher yields, and promising capital growth.
A recent report indicates that out of 248 suburbs analysed, approximately 70% show apartments outperforming houses in terms of price appreciation.
Michael Wilkins, Managing Director of Neustar, emphasises this new paradigm in real estate, highlighting how modern apartments are now better designed and situated closer to public transport.
Demand Drivers
The rising preference for apartments is driven by various market segments, including downsizing owner-occupiers and yield-seeking investors.
Additionally, reduced vacancy rates suggest a favourable rental environment. With construction costs rising, supply challenges continue to persist, leading to a sustained focus on well-located apartments as a viable residential option.
