Property investors and home buyers take a second look! Villa units - the humble single storey dwellings to be found in every metropolitan suburb are being reassessed by a new generation. They may not be fashionable - but they are going to be hot property.

In today's show we cover:

* Reassessing the villa unit 
* Why insurance inflation is crunching the housing market
* Where is the government's shared equity scheme?
* The $99,000 Melbourne apartment (not for everyone) 

Sarah Petty, property reporter at the Herald Sun joins wealth editor James Kirby in this episode.
