Over the longer run, unit values in Canterbury have trended upward overall, though the pace has varied from year to year rather than moving in a straight line. Growth has been fairly consistent across most years in the series rather than coming from one isolated spike. Regular turnover across the historical period supports the broader direction shown in the chart rather than relying on occasional outlier sales alone. Seasonal differences and one-off sales can still affect individual years within the Canterbury unit series.
Unit styles in Canterbury
Learn about the common styles, layouts and features found within this part of the local property market.
Mid-century walk-up blocks carry one- and two-bedroom layouts with shared car parking and modest owners corporation arrangements, reflecting the suburb's predominantly detached character. Two-bedroom layouts appear frequently in Canterbury, although two- and four-bedroom homes remain part of the local stock depending on street and pocket. Building era and block or floor configuration often explain why two units with similar bedroom counts can feel quite different in Canterbury. Outdoor space, parking and internal layout still separate otherwise similar units in Canterbury.
What to consider when buying a unit in Canterbury
