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 2025.

This one caught us by surprise at first. Our number one episode for 2025 is “Villa Units: Melbourne’s Overlooked Investment Gem.” I suppose it’s understandable that this episode was popular, as people look for affordable, quality properties to purchase in one of the world’s most liveable cities. Enjoy.

Jarrod shines a light on Melbourne’s villa units – a property type quietly gaining traction for its unique blend of affordability, scarcity, and broad appeal.

In this episode:

• Why villa units offer strong land value and real scarcity
• How they appeal to first home buyers, investors, and downsizers alike
• Key features to look for: location, floor plan, parking, and outdoor space
• How blue-chip suburbs offer affordable villa unit opportunities
• A real case study: capital growth and lifestyle gains from a smart villa unit purchase
