Market Insights
Downsizers (55+) are the fastest-growing apartment buyer segment, representing 28% of 2-3 bedroom sales in premium suburbs, driven by empty-nesters seeking lifestyle over space.
The Downsizer Contribution Scheme allows eligible sellers to contribute $300,000 per person ($600,000 per couple) from home sale proceeds into super, creating tax-effective wealth transfer.
Downsizers prioritise ground-floor or low-floor apartments with lifts, high-quality finishes, and proximity to medical facilities, cafes, and public transport over maximum space.
