In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, we run a "Compare The Pair" analysis across 50 randomly selected properties in Brisbane, Perth, and Melbourne, stacking established houses, boutique units, house and land packages, and high-rise apartments against each other over the last 7–10 years. The data is brutal. If you own the wrong asset type in the wrong city, you are not just underperforming, you are going backwards while inflation eats your equity. We break down exactly which property types delivered the highest capital growth returns, why boutique units in Perth exploded at 23.3% compounding, and how Melbourne Docklands apartments have set investors back decades with losses ranging from $13,000 to $125,000. This is not theory, these are real asset performances tracked by a buyers agency managing hundreds of client portfolios. Whether you are building a property portfolio, a first home buyer trying to get in, or an experienced investor reviewing your strategy, the gap between the best and worst asset types in the Australian property market has never been wider. What we've covered in this:✅ Established Houses vs House and Land - Melbourne houses compounded at 7% while house and land packages limped at 1.6%. Brisbane saw the tightest spread (14.3% vs 12.9%) driven by post-Covid replacement cost inflation, but that anomaly is not expected to continue.✅ The Boutique Unit Outperformance - Perth units delivered 23.3% capital growth vs 12% for houses. Brisbane units hit 15.3%. These are smaller complexes (15 or less, 2–3 levels, with parking) in blue-chip land-locked suburbs; scarcity drives the outperformance.✅ The Melbourne Apartment Disaster - Off-the-plan high-rise apartments returned -1.3% compounding. With inflation at 3%, investors in Docklands and Southbank lost real wealth. Specific losses ranged up to $125,000 on resale.Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Why This Data Matters 04:42 Established Houses06:12 House & Land Packages08:38 High-Rise Apartments11:33 Boutique Units12:53 Docklands Losses Up to $125,000 13:51 Why Scarcity Dictates Capital Growth 15:08 Is Melbourne Turning a Corner or Still Trapped? 17:41 Blue-Chip Land-Locked Suburbs vs CBD Towers 18:26 $30K to $500K Profit Examples About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.
