Home › Glossary › Units
Units are a popular housing choice in Australian cities because they offer affordability, convenience and low maintenance living. They usually form part of a strata scheme, meaning owners contribute to shared maintenance costs through regular strata fees. The value of a unit depends on factors like location, building quality, floorplan efficiency, views, parking availability, natural light and the strength of the owners corporation. Buyers also consider ongoing costs such as strata levies, sinking fund contributions and special levies for major building repairs. Selling a unit requires a strong understanding of the building’s financial health and upcoming works because informed buyers will ask detailed questions. A skilled agent knows how to highlight the benefits of the complex, the lifestyle appeal and the practical features that differentiate your unit from similar listings. Well marketed units can attract strong competition, especially in suburbs with high rental demand or limited supply.
You decide to sell your two-bedroom unit in a secure complex near public transport and cafés. Before listing, your agent reviews strata records and identifies that the building has a healthy sinking fund and no upcoming major works, which strengthens buyer confidence. They recommend professional styling to maximise space and emphasise natural light. At the first open home, the convenience, balcony views and allocated parking space attract a large number of interested buyers. Two downsizers and one investor request contracts and ask questions about strata fees and rental potential. After competitive negotiations, your agent secures an excellent sale price that exceeds comparable unit sales in the same building.
