Question 1

What is the ASPIRE Apartment Index?

Accepted Answer

The ASPIRE Apartment Index is Australia's first multi-dimensional off-the-plan apartment comparison framework. It scores Sydney developments across six dimensions — Affordability, Suitability, Profitability, Investment, Risk, and Excellence — using hedonic pricing research, ABS data, and independent on-the-ground analysis.

Question 2

How are apartments scored in the ASPIRE Index?

Accepted Answer

Each development is scored on a 0-10 scale across six dimensions. Scores are calculated using quantitative data (median prices, rental yields, infrastructure proximity, demographic trends) combined with qualitative assessment (build quality, developer track record, community design). The methodology is transparent and updated as new data becomes available.

Question 3

Is the ASPIRE Index independent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ASPIRE Index is produced by Local Knowledge Property, an independent advisory firm. Scores are not influenced by developer advertising or sales commissions. All developments are assessed using the same methodology and data sources.
