Nothing says “stick it to the man” quite like holding on to your precious property — despite it being worth millions of dollars — as developers build an entire suburb around you.
That’s exactly what one Australian family seems to have done.
The Zammit family reportedly refused to sell their five acres of land, even as rows and rows of new homes popped up around them. One real estate agent estimated the Zammit property value to be just shy of $50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) in new developments, Australia's 7News reported in March of last year.
Most of the neighboring lots sold in 2012, according to the New York Post, when the Zammits could have received about $4.75 million for their home. Real estate agent Taylor Bredin told 7News the family’s land could fit 40 to 50 3,200-square-foot homes. Each home would be worth $1 million Australian dollars, or almost $700,000.
This tale of defiance is yet another example of why real estate can be the ultimate hold. If you’re keen to get in on this action, here are three ways to invest in real estate.

Commercial real estate
Necessity-based commercial real estate continues to grow. According to research from PYMNTS’ 2023 Global Digital Shopping Index, nearly one-third of U.S. consumers who shopped online in 2022 collected their most recent purchase via in-store or curbside pickup — a 37% increase from the previous year. Needless to say, this asset is far from obsolete.
