Australia's Apartment Market Is Stronger Than Most Realise

Australia's apartment market is gaining momentum — and changing investor conditions could make new apartments an increasingly important property investment opportunity. In this episode, we examine the data behind the rise of apartments, including 242 apartment markets delivering yields of 5% or more, compared with just 47 house markets. With lower purchase prices, strong tenant demand, rising rents and improving capital growth, apartments are becoming harder for property investors to overlook. We explore the strongest apartment markets across Australia, why Sydney leads the nation for high yielding unit markets, and how apartment resales are delivering stronger profits. With 92% of apartment resales achieving a nominal profit in the March 2026 quarter, the evidence challenges the assumption that apartments are simply an affordability play. Discover where the opportunities are emerging and why apartments could play a much bigger role in Australia's property investment market.
