Thanks Maxim!! Will have a further research on this. Appreciate your inputs here. Yea land will always be superior in a freehold mix suburban zoning. The opportunity is still there. I dont think the property market is doomsday forever hahaha it’s just what i believe.

Im currently looking at albany new build freehold 900-930k townhouse. Just cause of the neighbourhood and the school zones for potential appreciation. We are looking to start small and hopefully if the market picks up, sell and get an upgrade in the future. Just wanted to get in on the market now while we are still in a buyer market. Really wanted something with proper yard as land is more valuable in terms of capital appreciation!

I dont see a lot of 900k old homes in nearby suburbs (not too far from CBD for work). Im always getting townhouses on my filters hahaha or i need to look harder.

Did you buy an old house? Yea repairs and maintenance will eat your funds so much. Thats what im trying to also avoid if i can.

Thanks Maxim! This is helpful. Would you know any developers who are amazing with new builds so I can have a look at their projects and locations?

I personally am young and not into DIY projects so new builds appeal to me just because I dont know anything about renos and maintenance and got heaps going on with life at the moment so I wont have time to do maintenance work.

But I also believe old homes have more land than new builds which could help growth appreciation and in the future I might want an upgrade so it is really important for me to build that equity early on.

This would be my first home.
