Investors looking to purchase high-value properties are increasingly considering the city of Melbourne, according to new data.

Figures from RP Data reveal the number of properties in the region selling for more than $2 million has increased substantially as people seek to cash in on the booming market.

RP Data's Robert Larocca explained the number of properties sold in the Victoria capital that are worth more than $2 million is still below the levels seen in 2008 but they are still on the rise.

In 2008, 1.54 per cent of all sales were for homes worth $2 million, last year this percentage was 1.43 per cent.

The top suburbs in terms of value are Brighton, Toorak and Kew as wealthy buyers continue to be attracted to the wide range of property for sale in these key areas.

Recent figures from Fairfax Media show that compared to income, the price of buying property in Melbourne is 2.5 times higher than it was in 1964.
