EP 45 | New Builds vs. Existing Homes: The Shocking Truth for Property Investors

In this episode of Property Banter, buyers agent Michael Lucia sits down with certified valuer and tax agent Belinda Solis to uncover the real truth behind new builds versus existing properties. Belinda reveals why 95% of brand-new homes and off-the-plan investments don’t stack up, exposing the hidden risks of depreciation, inflated marketing premiums, and limited equity growth. Instead, she explains how strategic investors can unlock massive capital gains by targeting established properties, renovating wisely, and forcing value—turning modest purchases into powerful wealth-building machines.
