The availability of car parks at residential properties is a great bonus for occupants to have, especially those who commute to and from work every day.
A recent article posted by the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) has revealed that one-bedroom apartments in central Melbourne that have a car park space were worth over $100,000 more than those without one.
REIV chief executive officer Enzo Raimondo said the median price for an apartment with a car park was $416,000 for the year ending 31 March. On the other hand, those without a space recorded an average price of $313,250.
"It is clear buyers are prepared to pay a premium for car parking, despite the ready availability of public transport in central Melbourne," said Mr Raimondo in a 22 May statement.
"This new REIV data also shows that both one and two-bedroom apartments with car parking space increased in value by around 4 per cent more than those without over the past 12 months."
