Are Townhouses the Next Best Investment as Houses Become Unaffordable? - with Junge Ma

Listen to it on

Five years ago, more than half of Australia's regions had a median house price under $600,000.

Today, that's fewer than 1 in 5. As affordability keeps tightening, more investors are turning to townhouses as the next best option, but do they actually deliver competitive results?

Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, breaks down townhouses from two angles, cashflow and long-term capital growth, including an empirical study tracking 300 townhouse resales in Melbourne over 20 years. She also covers exactly what to look for if you do buy one, so you're not just settling for "second best."

This is a must-watch for anyone priced out of the house market and weighing up whether a townhouse is a smart stepping stone or a compromise.
