Episode Synopsis

Choosing what to buy is just as important as choosing where to buy — and yet most buyers get it wrong. In this episode, Dion breaks down asset selection and explains the real differences between houses, townhouses, units, and apartments. Using fresh CoreLogic data and real buyer stories, he ranks these property types based on long-term performance, land value, demand, and risk.
You’ll learn:


Why houses consistently outperform other property types


The difference between a good townhouse/unit and a bad one


Why land value is the number one driver of capital growth


The biggest risks of buying brand-new or off-the-plan


Which types of apartments can perform — and which never do


How lifestyle vs investment goals change what the “best” asset looks like for you


Whether you're a first-home buyer, investor, or upgrading, this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and choose the property type with the strongest long-term upside.
