Recent data reveals a surprising trend that’s reshaping the investment landscape: units in 68 suburbs across Australia outperformed houses in value growth over the past year. This is exciting news, especially for us at Crown Properties, given how many units we always have on the market here in Redcliffe and surrounds. Unit values in nearly 50 suburbs exceeded those of houses. For Brisbane alone, units saw a remarkable 16.9% increase, far surpassing house price growth at 11.8%, while in the broader Queensland market, unit prices rose by 11.6%, compared to 10.1% for houses.
So, why does this matter for you?
A Unique Opportunity for Investors
Historically, houses have been the favored option for returns, with a nearly 86% growth in house prices compared to 44% for units over the last decade. But with units now taking the lead, especially in Brisbane, the dynamic has shifted. At Crown Properties, we recognize this as an unprecedented opportunity for investors seeking properties with lower entry costs and strong growth potential.
Why Units are Thriving in Brisbane
According to REA Group’s senior economist, Angus Moore, Brisbane’s unit market is a bit of an anomaly—unlike in other capitals, unit prices here are outpacing houses. Factors such as growing demand for inner-city living, Brisbane’s lifestyle appeal, and ongoing infrastructure projects are likely contributing to this boom, and we foresee continued growth.
How This Trend Benefits Our Clients
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, this trend opens new doors. Units are generally more affordable and easier to maintain than houses, making them attractive for those wanting to enter the property market with a valuable asset or expand an investment portfolio. And for our clients, Crown Properties has the expertise to guide you to the best opportunities in these high-growth suburbs.
