Despite a median house price of $706,000 and apartment price of $545,500, many of Melbourne’s desirable suburbs boast homes at $200,000-plus, the REIV pinpointing the inner north and south of the city.

Melbourne’s most affordable one-bedroom apartments are located in Carlton – which recorded a June median price of $207,750.

Carnegie, in Melbourne’s south-east, delivered a median for similar sized apartments of $292,500.

“Affordable property around Melbourne is not restricted to the outer suburbs," REIV chief Enzo Raimondo said. 

"Apartments allow first home buyers to get a foothold on the property ladder, especially in highly sought after areas such as Carlton,” he said.
