The Data Behind the Decision
Median price trends
Meadow Heights' 10-year average annual rate of growth was going through the gears and accelerating, after years of steady improvement.
Rental yield
Gross rental returns were remaining at about 4.8%, which would have generated positive cash flow ready at the entry point.
Supply & demand
Market inventory stock was down by more than 30% year-over-year, an important indicator of increasing competition.
Affordability index
The suburb was more than 35% lower priced than the Melbourne metro area's median house price and had strong appeal to first-home buyers and investors.
Infrastructure pipeline
The Northern Growth Corridor extensions and the imminent Melbourne Airport Rail Link were helping to sustain future demand.
These conditions played right into The Realta Property Buyers Agency ‘s Early-Adopter Strategy, which pays attention to identifying high-pressure markets before they blow up and become hotspots.
The Result - Within 12 Months
A comparable property at 11 Ellam Court, Meadow Heights ( with a similar land size and the same configuration: 3 bedrooms / one bath) is now listed for $700,000. That’s a $163,000 equity uplift in under a year, an over 30% growth on paper.

Their annual holding cost (including interest and outgoings) is only $16,000 per annum, but their property has increased enormously in value over the past 12 months.
This is what happens when you:
- Read the market data early.
- Enter before mainstream demand spikes.
