Should I invest in one suburb or spread across multiple?

For most individual investors, concentration in a single well-understood market produces better outcomes than spreading across multiple suburbs you know less well. Local knowledge — of the specific streets, the specific rental comparables, the specific buyer profiles — compounds in your favour when concentrated. Diversification across inner-Sydney suburbs makes more sense for portfolio investors managing multiple properties at scale.

Is it too late to invest in Redfern given how much it's already grown?

The market has repriced Redfern's transformation — prices are materially higher than a decade ago. But the structural demand drivers that drove that growth (Tech Central, professional tenant demand, heritage supply scarcity) are not exhausted. The question isn't whether Redfern has already grown; it's whether the remaining structural growth drivers justify current entry prices. Our analysis says yes, for quality assets in the premium pocket, over a five-plus year hold horizon.
