Investor activity remains strong

If you take a look back over OUR MARKET UPDATES IN 2026, you can see that demand from property investors has been a steady element of our reports throughout the year. Our recent sale in Heyington Avenue, Thomastown was another example of this.

In this case we were asked to market a neat two-bedroom unit (pictured) where thoughtful renovations had made it an appealing prospect for first home buyers and local downsizers as well as investors looking to add to their portfolio. Stone benchtops and updated appliances in the kitchen, and an updated bathroom both had an impact on the buyers that visited here.

As is so often the case, the location was also a key factor in this sale. Offering a high degree of convenience, the property was within easy reach of Thomastown Railway Station, the vibrant cafés and shops along Station Street, High Street retailers and lifestyle options like Thomastown Recreation & Aquatic Centre. Proximity to Thomastown East Primary School and Lalor Secondary College along with nearby parklands, and easy access to the M80 Ring Road ensured an appealing degree of connectivity.

A carefully targeted online campaign drew interest from a wide variety of buyers, but it was a young property investor who emerged successful as part of a strategy to secure their long-term financial security.

As we always remind our readers in these posts, the decision to become a property investor is one you should make with the aid of experienced advice from a range of different sources So if you would like an obligation free chat with one of our highly experienced rental specialists, don’t hesitate to give us a call this week at Barry Plant Thomastown on 9466 3233.
