In this episode of The Property Couch, Bryce and Ben address a listener's question about why some apartments in good locations fail to appreciate in value. They discuss a real-life investing scenario in Brunswick, Melbourne, emphasizing the importance of scarcity, investment grade, and owner-occupier appeal when selecting a property. They highlight that large apartment complexes often lack scarcity and owner-occupier appeal, leading to poor performance, and advise listeners to consider established properties over new ones. Ben shares research on the Sydney market, warning about potential corrections after a boom, and they encourage listeners to seek professional advice from buyer's agents.
