Apartment and townhouse living is becoming a more popular choice among home buyers in Victoria, which signals a trend for investors looking to purchase property in Brunswick or surrounding suburbs.
New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, analysed by the Housing Industry Association showed that building approvals increased in February in the state. Interestingly, it was multi-units, such as townhouses and apartments, that outperformed detached housing.
Multi-units saw a 41.7 per cent rise year-on-year, while detached homes saw an increase of 19.2 per cent over the same period. Whether it's the lifestyle associated with smaller dwellings or the location of the properties themselves, apartments and units appear to be a very popular choice among buyers.
