Our 'best of' summer series continues while we're taking break and we've reached Number One. No surprises here.

But is this negativity warranted? We take a deep dive into the factors impacting Melbourne real estate and explore why now might be the perfect time to buy.

Welcome to the Rewarding Property Decisions ‘best of’ summer series. While we’re taking some time off over summer, we thought we’d share with you our most popular episodes in 2024. Coming in at number three is an interesting look at the Melbourne suburbs transformed by gentrification and what benefits this has brought the locals. Like other major cities around the world, Melbourne has undergone significant gentrification of once undesirable, working class suburbs. But how has the city’s gentrification process taken shape over the decades, and what are the dynamics to consider as we look to the future?
