Property market of Melbourne

 Melbourne’s property market has proven to be more resilient than many other cities, with the most recent example being its bounce back from the dip during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, when strict lockdown restrictions virtually froze all activity. Now, want-to-be homeowners and investors are once again buying property in Melbourne, with major growth occurring in the sub-regions and north-eastern suburbs.

  • Diverse housing styles
  • Excellent lifestyle benefits 
  • Strong economy
  • Stable political environment 
  • Pleasant climate 
  • Highly educated workforce 
  • Prominent levels of immigration
  • Friendly and laid-back culture
  • World-class medical facilities
  • Low pollution 

Family homes are in high demand in Melbourne. Buyers are seeking larger properties with space for home offices and gardens in which children can amuse themselves for hours on end. Many who have missed out on city properties are considering suburbs like Doncaster, Blackburn, Donvale, and Ringwood, which offer larger blocks for renovation or rebuilding.

Some of the most promising areas of property investment in Melbourne are in high-end suburbs, where prestige property offers outstanding capital growth. Areas like St. Kilda West, Portsea, Kingsville, and St. Andrews Beach are promising for capital growth. Consulting a buyers' agent specializing in luxury real estate can help you capitalize on these opportunities.

First-time homebuyers in Melbourne should consider suburbs within 10-20km of the CBD, particularly in the northern and western areas. Maidstone, Footscray, and Preston are good options, especially for those seeking affordable apartments. Families should consult a buyers' agent to find properties near parks, schools, and transport links. 
If you want neither an entry-level home nor prestige property, buyers’ advocates in Melbourne can show you suburbs that have been highly rated for lifestyle, safety, and entertainment opportunities. Some popular choices include South Yarra, Carlton, and East Melbourne, known for their cafes, shopping, nightlife, restaurants, museums, public gardens, and transport links.

While parks, schools, and transport links remain crucial factors, buyers now value the opportunity for relaxed social gatherings in their neighborhoods. The Bayside areas of Beaumaris, Mordialloc, Carrum Downs, Aspendale, Seaford, Parkdale, and Cheltenham offer affordable living with excellent amenities, making them popular choices for homebuyers and property investors.

Recreation and Other Amenities in Melbourne 

Melbourne is a vibrant city with something for everyone. The city's subtropical climate is ideal for outdoor activities, while its windy conditions are great for surfers. For indoor entertainment, visit the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art or the Australian Music Vault. Both venues offer free entry and a variety of experiences.  
Melbourne offers a diverse range of outdoor activities and family-friendly attractions. From exploring the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria to enjoying interactive experiences at the Interaxcity Children's Museum, there's something for everyone. For those who prefer outdoor adventures, Melbourne's beaches offer opportunities for picnics, water sports, and relaxation, while its cycling paths provide ample options for exploring the city. Cyclists can make use of the city’s cycling network, which has over 135km of on and off-road routes.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas of Melbourne do you cover?

We cover the entire metropolitan Melbourne area. We have specialist Melbourne buyers advocates that live in or near the locations that we buy in. Having a local Melbourne specialist on your side gives our clients the best possible advantage to identify the ideal property for your search.

Do you service regional VIC?

We have an established network of regional buyers agents that work in conjunction with us to assist with your search if you are particularly wanting regional Victoria. It is very important to have local representation without buyers advocate that understands the local property market.

Melbourne is experiencing significant growth in some areas over others – how do I understand the best options?

Our Buyers Agent is supported by extensive digital data platforms including our own Suburb SelectorTM which has 35 analysis datapoints.

How is working from home affecting the Melbourne market?

Melbourne experienced significant population movements and property changes as a result of COVID and the expectation is that this will have a long tail effect. Buying in an over cooked area is a mistake and we can advise on the best locations to buy (and areas to avoid).

Melbourne is expanding geographically. How does this effect my purchasing decisions?

Geographic expansion poses opportunity and pitfalls. Our Buyers Advocate can explain how and why both can occur. Buying further from the CBD is cheaper, but it is important to check that the location has the required amenities and infrastructure to drive future capital growth.

How does the growth of Melbourne’s population due to immigration
changing the landscape of property buying?

New visitors to Melbourne will have significantly different requirements that need to be understood as opportunities will arise with varying investment returns and changes to suburb demographics. Our Buyers Advocates understand these dynamics and provide localise insights for a wide range of migrant communities.
