272: What You Need to Know About Australia’s Unit Market Boom | #272

Feeling like getting into the property market is an impossible dream right now? 

With prices going crazy, a lot of us feel like we’re being left behind.

But guess what? There’s still a way in. 

In our latest episode, we’re sitting down with Sean Simpson, Head of Property at Dashdot.

He’s looked at thousands of properties and studied every corner of the market. And what’s he buying for himself? UNITS.

Now, you might be thinking, “Units? Really? Aren’t houses where the money’s at?” 

Well, it’s time to shake off those old-school biases. 

The price gap between houses and units is the largest it’s ever been, and units are starting to outpace houses in growth. 

But why? 

The affordability crunch is pushing people toward units, and with less supply coming through, those prices are only going up. 

Think you can’t afford to get into property? This episode might change your mind. It’s not just about “making it” – it’s about smart investing, challenging those old beliefs, and finding opportunities where others might not be looking.

Sean’s got the insights, the data, and the real-world experience to help you see things differently.
