Ep 33: House vs Units in Melbourne – What Actually Performs Better?
Published: 13 April 2026
In this episode of the Melbourne Property Podcast, hosts Lindsay and Sky break down one of the most common questions from buyers and investors: houses vs units in Melbourne.
They compare the performance of houses and units using current data, long term trends and a real world case study to highlight the differences in capital growth and investment outcomes. The episode explores why land value plays a critical role in property performance and how this impacts different asset types.
Sky and Lindsay also unpack when buying a unit can make sense, what to look for in higher quality unit investments, and the key risks buyers should be aware of, including oversupply and ongoing owner corporation costs.
If you are deciding between a house or unit in Melbourne, or want to understand which asset class delivers stronger long term results, this episode provides clear, data backed insights.
Episode highlights include:
• The key differences between houses and units in Melbourne
• Historical performance and capital growth comparison over 10 years
• A real case study comparing a CBD apartment and suburban house
• When buying a unit can make sense for buyers and investors
• Key risks including oversupply, body corporate fees and asset selection
