Go back to history in the mid-70’s, one specific 3 BR property in Nunawading, Victoria was 28k. When news of the 7km extenstion of Eastern freeway between Springvale to Doncaster was rumoured but not yet confirmed in the mid-90s, the value if same property jumped to $120k, it was then sold for $138k in 1999. At present, the property is value at $985k. There is hardly any improvement done to the house.

The mathematics shows even ignoring the negative gearing, the first 20 years since mid-70s, the property value jumped by 5 times, and the following 20 years, more 7 times. Comparing the current value and the value in the mid-70s, it is now worth 35 times.

Thank you for reading.
