“The established property that we bought for $330,000 is now worth somewhere around $730,000, about 121% growth over 15 years, or 8% per annum. The unit, similar properties, are now selling for $520,000, which is about 43% capital growth in the same time frame, or less than 3% per annum. The starting point of your property journey is so important because overpaying for a property which may not grow for a very long time or stay stagnant means you won’t be able to progress."

 
Episode Takeaways:

✅ Established properties with land components typically outperform off-the-plan properties in long-term capital growth.

✅ Off-the-plan purchases carry significant risks, including valuation shortfalls, oversupply, and changing lending climates.

✅ Proper due diligence and working with true buyer’s agents, not disguised selling agents, are essential for successful property investing.
