Melbourne Property Boom? Why 2025 Could Spark a Gold Rush
About this episode
We dive into why Melbourne could be on the verge of a property gold rush in 2025. We unpack the fundamentals driving growth; migration, affordability, and the rise of boutique apartments and townhouses, while debating whether investors are pulling back and owner-occupiers are taking over. We also share strategies for first home buyers and explore whether now is the time to buy before prices climb further.
