Unit capital gains underperform nationwide: CoreLogic RP Data
Michael CrawfordJuly 5, 2015

Detached houses are outperforming units by nearly double Australia-wide in capital gains increases, with house values up 10.4% higher and unit values increasing by 5.6%

According to the CoreLogic RP Data Hedonic Home Value Index for June, the only cities which houses didn't receive higher capital gains than units were in Hobart and Darwin.

CoreLogic RP Data’s head of research, Tim Lawless, said the underperformance of units compared with houses is likely due to higher supply levels for units compared with detached houses.
