Ballarat land buyers choosing smaller blocks

New data from RPM has shown Ballarat land buyers are choosing to buy smaller blocks.

The median block size sold across the June quarter was 448 square metres, with a price tag of just over $302,000.

Luke Kelly from RPM says it appears to be about affordability.

“The lots that are left over at the end [of the quarter] were a little bit bigger than the 448 square metres, so that indicates people have chosen those slightly smaller lots, because of probably affordability,” he said.
