National capital city unit prices decreased by 1.1% over the August quarter. Despite this recent quarterly fall, unit prices have still increased by 2.2% compared to the same period in August 2025.

For investors and buyers in Melbourne's western growth corridor, this suggests that while the unit market is experiencing a short-term dip, it retains underlying strength. Units could offer a more accessible entry point compared to houses.
