Hi all
I am intrigued when I speak to other investors that there is still so much interest in highly priced inner city new unit developments. I'm sure that the marketers are doing a fabulous job - selling the "lifestyle" image. "You will be so much happier living in a unit when you retire and in the meantime it is a great investment". The type of units I refer to are well designed with top quality inclusions - but they are still units. You only own a % of the land and often have limited control over decision making especially if it is a large block.
My question is, how many of you want to retire into a unit and if so why? How many would stay in the big house on the big inner suburban block if you could easily afford to pay for gardeners, cleaners etc.
Is unit living really an attractive "lifestyle choice" or just a clever marketing strategy?
