The inner Melbourne unit market is quietly presenting some of the most compelling investment fundamentals we have seen in years, and Balaclava is a suburb worth watching closely.
A one-bedroom unit in VIC was acquired for $290,000 and is currently estimated at $330,000 in Year 1.
At $445 per week in rent, that represents a gross yield of 6.9%, well above the suburb average of 5.3%.
This is the type of asset our team at Rethink Residential analyses every week: an established inner-city location, strong rental demand, and numbers that work without relying on speculation.
If you have been wondering whether property investment still makes sense in the current market, the data suggests the opportunity is very much alive.
