Units vastly outperformed houses this year and are on track to dominate in 2025 as demand soars for affordable homes amid high interest rates and surging values for freestanding homes, CoreLogic’s Best of the Best report shows.

This year’s top 10 best performing unit markets racked up between 40 per cent and 53 per cent capital gains, while the house markets with the sharpest increases rose between 34 per cent and 38 per cent.
