Five years ago, there were 1,100. Today, there are only 273. That's about 1.8% of all suburbs nationally. So, the window is closing. But I’m here to tell you that it's not closed yet, and you should consider investing in these 6 affordable suburbs. — Gilbert Melgar is the founder and CEO of SuburbsFinder, bringing over 20 years of data analytics experience to the property sector. After graduating, he moved from the Philippines to Australia, where he encountered both the challenges and opportunities of property investing. He first entered the market in 2016, applying his analytical skills to identify undervalued suburbs and investment hotspots. In the process, he spotted a gap in accessible, suburb-level research tools, which resulted in him creating SuburbsFinder. SuburbsFinder is a leading property research and analytics tool that aggregates and transforms public data, drawn from government sources, property sale and rental listings, and agent reports, into interactive dashboards and reports for over 15,200 Australian suburbs.
