Ocean views from level 1 | premium building with high owner-occupancy | strong comparable sales growth | walk to beach and school This unit occupies a rare position in a tightly held building where 75% owner-occupancy signals stable management and limited future supply. The ocean view from a low-level floor, combined with a large private balcony and rooftop amenity, gives it an edge over most Palm Beach two-bedroom stock. Comparable sales in the same complex show annual growth between 7.7% and 9.8%, reinforcing that this building has outperformed the broader suburb median. The property suits a buyer seeking a coastal lifestyle base with strong capital growth potential, particularly given the short walk to beach and school. The premium over the suburb median carries risk if market conditions soften, as the 46% auction clearance rate suggests selective demand. The absence of scheduled open homes may indicate a tight inspection window, requiring prompt action. However, the building’s long-term resident base and low turnover reduce the chance of a forced sale discount. This property should be held for at least five years to realise the compounding growth trajectory seen in recent sales, and it works equally well as a primary residence or a high-end rental holding.
