Kollosche has led a large majority in high end apartment sales in recent months. Agent Rob Lamb notes the uptick in interest from local couples looking for a lifestyle upgrade. “People are realising that there is a window of opportunity right now to get a premium price for a larger established home and put some of that cash towards a new apartment,” says Rob.

Kollosche data shows that the market is looking at both established apartments and off-the-plan stock, which is dependant on buyer timeline to purchase.

While escaping the burden of maintaining a large family home is a big driver, the modern ‘downsizer’ doesn’t necessarily want to compromise on living space. Kollosche New Projects agent Andrew Ramsey states that the demand for over-sized apartments is hot, and developers are taking this into account.

“Developers across the coast are building new projects based on the demand for large apartments. They understand that those who are down-sizing do not want to compromise on size or luxury,” says Andrew.

“The opportunity to live in a luxury sky-home has never been greater, and these are exactly the type of properties we love to bring to our clients.”

The trend of down-sizing hopes to see a flow-on effect by freeing up family homes, which have been in high demand.

With larger homes on the market due to the trend in new developments of luxury apartments, we hope to see a resurgence of residential homes listed on the coast.
