Sneak Peak

We started with a huge list - 424 Melbourne suburbs. And after running through our criteria, we’ve managed to narrow that down to just 10. We limited our criteria to the following:

• Median house price: $450,000 to $1 million dollars

• Stock on market: less than 2%

• Rental yield: above 3.5%

• Days on market: 30 days or less

• Low inventory levels

• Price growth: less than 10% over the last 12 months, to avoid buying at the top of the growth cycle

• Vacancy rates: less than 2%

• Owner occupier percentage: at least 65% owner occupiers

This episode delves into market insights, data and tips for buying an investment property in West Meadows, Tullamarine, Boronia, Pakenham, Cranbourne North, Melton West, Derrimut, Crib Point, Carrum Downs, Skye and Seaford. Be sure to listen to the episode though, as not all suburbs are ranked equally!
