2019 – 83.26 units (Opal Towers Dec 2018, June 2019 Mascot Towers)
2020 – 72.38 units

Buying New:
49.6% of people bought a brand new dwelling in the April 2019 to Dec 2019 period – So new dwellings are certainly popular with investors
71.5% bought OR built a new dwelling in the same period (28.5) established – A lot of investors build a new investment property, so the numbers are quite high for “brand new”
