How does buying a display home work
The process of buying a Melbourne display home that is for sale is similar to buying any other established property. You work with our Sales Consultant to view the home, negotiate a purchase price, and then complete all the necessary paperwork. One of the big differences when you buy a display home in Melbourne is that you may not be able to move in right away. Sometimes we may still need to use the home as a display and in that instance, we will lease the home from you until the display period has finished and we’re ready to hand it over.
Is it cheaper to buy a display home in Melbourne?
Our display homes for sale in Melbourne often include upgrades, high quality fittings and fixtures, landscaping and driveway/paths, and are located in the most sought-after land estates in Victoria. So the price may be higher than if you were to build a similar house from scratch, but there are many other factors to take into consideration; is there much land available in the estate or will you miss out? Will interest rates increase and impact your borrowing power? Are you currently paying rent and don’t want to wait for a new home to be built? It is important to weigh up all of these factors when making a decision and you might find that buying an established ex display home for sale in Melbourne might be the best option for you!
Do you pay stamp duty on a display home?
Purchasing a display home for sale in Melbourne is similar to buying other established properties so you will need to pay stamp duty, otherwise known as land transfer duty. It is calculated as a percentage price of the purchase of the property and can be calculated using the State Revenue Office calculator here. However, if you’re a first home buyer you may be eligible for several exceptions and concessions, and you may not have to pay stamp duty at all!
Is buying a display home a good investment?
Buying display homes in Melbourne can be a good investment depending on a few different factors. Our display homes are built with high-end finishes and features, which makes them attractive to buyers, and they also come with building warranties and are move-in ready including driveways and landscaping, which can save buyers time and money. One drawback would be if the display home is located in a newly developed area amongst ongoing construction and development, which could deter some buyers. But with any investment, it's important to thoroughly research all the benefits and challenges before making a decision.
Does the display home come with the furniture or appliances?
When you buy one of our display homes for sale in Melbourne, it generally will not come with the furniture but you will find a number of other items included that you wouldn’t receive when building a home from scratch. Depending on the home you purchase, it may come with fixed appliances like dishwashers or fireplaces, televisions if already mounted to the wall, a zoned alarm system, feature pendant lighting, luxury window furnishings, aggregate driveway and paths, landscaped gardens with timed irrigation, and decking to the alfresco. This makes sale display homes a great option for first home buyers or an investment property.
