In this article, we’ll run you through the pros and cons of each type of property help you decide which one suits your individual lifestyle best.

Townhouse Pros and Cons

Townhouses are becoming a popular option for buyers who want the convenience of an apartment lifestyle but with the look and feel of a house, making townhouses a popular option for young families or older buyers looking to downsize. This is also a popular option as in most cases pets are allowed.

House Pros and Cons

Houses in Brisbane come in all shapes and sizes, suitable for all different lifestyle options and price ranges. For those that need the space – such as growing families or those with pets – houses are still the most realistic option

However, Brisbane house prices are still rising – the median price for houses in Brisbane over the last 12 months is $590K according to CoreLogic data on propertyvalue.com.au – rising to over $1million in some popular suburbs – making it difficult to find the right property in the right area at an affordable price.

Apartment Pros and Cons

The number of apartments for sale in Brisbane has exploded in recent years, with an abundance of options in and about the City – and more options becoming available all the time.

We have discussed what this impending oversupply might mean for prices in a previous blog, but that’s not to say that choosing an apartment is a bad idea. Buying for yourself can offer a huge variety with Investors selling assets they no longer want to hold. As an Investor, migration from Interstate and Overseas increases the supply/demand ratio.

The simplicity of apartment living, with the inner-City lifestyle and minimal upkeep is still mightily attractive. Check out our listings for a range of apartments for sale all over the City.
