📈 Melbourne townhouses around $500k are starting to rise in value again.

They did outperform, in some cases earlier rising by around $100k - $150k while the broader Melbourne market was flat.

But starting this year these same townhouses started to flatline. And in some cases drop by $10k - $20k

But Cotality data shows that from August they are the only dwelling type that have now started to rise in value.

Now, I’m not saying this rise will be linear going forward.

But what is clear is that this segment of the market is the most resilient in the Melbourne context, and over the medium term reward investors the most for those who get in now.

The yield is not too shabby either with 5%+ on offer!

RENOVATION CASE STUDY VIC 📍

Purchased: $550,000
Resale Value: $730,000
Project duration: 5 Months
Profit: 💰$82,000

💡KEY LEARNING
The money wasn’t made by renovating everything. It came from buying at the right price, improving what buyers valued most and keeping the project focused on the intended resale market.

📝WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY
I think the street appeal is lacking. A little more attention to the street appeal in the form of new and healthy plants, grass and a decent high pressure wash could of add tens of thousands.

📈HOW MUCH CAN BE MADE?
This project achieved a $102,400 in Gross Profit, with a Final After Tax Profit of $82,000! Not bad for 5 months for a strategic cosmetic renovation!

Getting approved for another property is exciting.

But approval tells you how much you can borrow. It does not tell you how long you can hold the property when life becomes difficult.

What happens if the property becomes vacant, repairs arrive and your income slows down at the same time?

Before buying again, calculate how many months you could cover your mortgages, property expenses and family costs without rent or salary.

How many months of cash would make you feel comfortable?
