Point Lonsdale market and investor summary
Point Lonsdale (VIC 3225) runs a median house price of $1.2M. House prices have moved +0.3% over the past year. At 1.4% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.4% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Apartment stock is taking longer than usual to clear, a sign of softer demand at the unit end of the market. Houses also take time to sell, around 101 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Point Lonsdale: people, income and schools
Point Lonsdale is home to around 3,788 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 18% over five years. The median age is 61, an older, established demographic, and 80% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
Households here earn a median of about $81,000 a year, or roughly $1,550 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 14.9 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
