Smart Home Upgrades Melbourne
By admin
February 26th, 2024
In the rapidly evolving real estate landscape of Melbourne, smart home technology is not just a luxury; it’s becoming a standard expectation among savvy buyers. As a real estate agent in this vibrant city, I’ve observed firsthand how smart home upgrades can influence property values and appeal. Here’s why they’re worth considering:
𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹
Smart homes stand out in the market. Features like automated lighting, energy-efficient heating systems, and advanced security solutions are increasingly sought after by buyers, especially in Melbourne’s competitive property scene.
𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆
One of the key attractions of smart home technology is its potential for energy savings. Automated thermostats, smart lighting, and energy-efficient appliances not only reduce utility bills but also appeal to environmentally conscious buyers.
𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
With safety being a top priority for many homeowners, smart security systems, including cameras and smart locks, offer peace of mind and convenience, making properties more attractive to potential buyers.
𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀
As technology advances, homes that are already equipped with smart features are seen as future-proof, making them a more attractive long-term investment for buyers.
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲
While the initial investment in smart home technology can be significant, the potential increase in resale value and marketability of the property often outweighs the cost, especially in high-demand areas of Melbourne.
Smart home technology is more than just a trend; it’s a shift in how we live and interact with our spaces. For investors and homeowners in Melbourne, integrating these technologies can be a game-changer in maximizing property value and appeal.

Weekly Australian Auction Market Analysis: 26–28 September 2025
The Melbourne auction market pushed through spring’s final stretch with the kind of stamina that has defined this campaign, absorbing a surge in listings and still clearing the bulk of quality stock. Following last week’s Super Saturday result, where combined capitals achieved 72.3 per cent and Melbourne cleared 75.7 per cent, this week settled into a more sustainable rhythm. Melbourne recorded 1,345 scheduled auctions with 984 reported results and a clearance rate of 68 per cent. That is a step down from the frenzy of Super Saturday, but it is still a strong outcome given the Melbourne Cup lull, the snap-back in volumes that inevitably follows, and the persistent headwind of higher serviceability. The median sale price in Melbourne came in at $991,000, pointing to firm buyer depth in family-friendly corridors and renewed activity from investors targeting yield and depreciation benefits as the year winds down.
Melbourne and Regional Auction Market Update: 12–14 September 2025
The auction market has once again shown its resilience, holding steady despite high interest rates and cautious buyer sentiment. Over the weekend of 12–14 September, clearance rates across Australia’s capital cities remained in the 70 to 75 per cent range, driven by renewed spring activity.
