What this episode covers
This episode focuses on why density is a critical factor in property buying decisions, even for owner‑occupiers. Michelle May explains that your home is not just shelter but your biggest investment, and zoning changes or government overrides can dramatically reshape suburbs, impacting both lifestyle and property values. She highlights how high‑density developments can reduce scarcity, limit capital growth, and create buyer competition, while also bringing hidden costs like higher strata levies and maintenance fees. The episode cautions against buying new or off‑the‑plan apartments, which often stagnate in value, and stresses the importance of thorough due diligence to balance lifestyle needs with smart investment choices.
