A weekender on the Peninsula should be a pleasure to own and a smart place to have your money. The trick is buying in the right pocket, at the right price, with a clear view of what it costs to hold and what it can earn. We know the Peninsula, and we buy there for you.
By Alana Prideaux, Co-Founder and Licensed Estate AgentThe Mornington Peninsula is really a dozen different markets, and prices, demand and rental appeal shift street by street. Lou has owned a home on the Peninsula for years, so this is not a map exercise for us. We know the difference between a bay beach and a back beach, the hinterland pockets around Red Hill and Main Ridge, and which streets hold value when the market cools.
As buyers advocates we work only for you, and through our network we see quality homes that sell off-market before they are ever advertised.
On the Peninsula, the postcode is only the start. The street, the aspect and the walk to the beach are what you are really buying.
We match the home to how you will actually use it, and we are honest about the numbers before you commit.
How you will use it, a family weekender, a future retirement or an income-earning holiday let, plus your budget and the parts of the Peninsula that suit.
Including off-market and pre-market homes, which are common at the Peninsula’s better end.
We look hard at condition, coastal wear, land, aspect and the realistic short-stay appeal, not just the styling.
We map out the holding costs and, if you plan to rent it, a realistic view of peak-season yield.
At auction or private sale we negotiate hard so you buy well, not just quickly.
You get our full team, with genuine Peninsula knowledge at the centre of it. Lou, a former selling agent and auctioneer who has owned on the Peninsula for years, knows the market from the inside. Sharyn specialises in off-market property.
You have one point of contact from the first drive down to settlement.
A place on the Peninsula is part lifestyle and part investment. Both deserve a clear-eyed look.
Sorrento, Portsea, Blairgowrie, Flinders and the Red Hill hinterland each behave differently on price, demand and rentability. The right pocket is the single biggest decision, and it is where local knowledge earns its keep.
A home you will use most weekends is a different buy from one you want earning income. We help you be clear on the trade-off before you commit, not after.
A holiday home does not get the land tax exemption your main home does, and Victoria’s short-stay levy of 7.5% applies to stays under 28 days if you let it out. Factor in insurance, maintenance and management too.
The best Peninsula stock is tightly held and sells thinly, especially off-season. Buying the right home in the right pocket protects both your enjoyment and your resale.
