A seaside field on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula has gone in the marketplace with an asking worth of as much as $1m – greater than the median worth of a house in Melbourne.
The homeowners of Seaside Field 28, on Shelley seaside in Portsea, are promoting the blue boat shed with a worth information of $910,000 to $1m.
By comparability, Melbourne’s median dwelling worth was $774,093 in December, in keeping with CoreLogic. The town’s median home worth was $917,616, whereas it was $607,414 for models.
In a property itemizing, Seaside Field 28 is described as a “well equipped boatshed built on solid Masonry slacks in excellent condition and easily accessible”.
The promoting agent, Warwick Anderson from RT Edgar Toorak, stated the worth was “in accordance” with related seaside bins within the space.
He stated what set this one aside was its building – it was made out of masonry blocks slightly than weatherboard – in addition to its proximity to a public park, which meant it was simply accessible by automobile.
Anderson stated sheds on this seaside didn’t usually come up on the market.
“They are very few and far between,” he stated. “Which is why they command the price they do.”
Anderson stated he had been promoting property within the space for about 50 years and seaside bins had elevated in worth “exponentially”.
“I remember back in the 70s you could have bought one for $10,000, and we thought that was a lot of money then,” he stated.
“I think it’s just demand and very limited supply.”
Anderson stated Seaside Field 28 wouldn’t set a report for the realm, as boat sheds in Portsea’s Fishermans seaside have been much more unique and will fetch as much as $1.25m.

The housing commentator and economist Dr Andrew Wilson stated there was an irony in a seaside field going in the marketplace for such a excessive asking worth, given Portsea and different “prestige” Melbourne markets have been struggling.
“It’s actually been the higher priced areas in Melbourne that have really been struggling over the past couple of years,” he stated.
“It’s an overall confidence factor. It’s something of a malaise that Melburnians have struggled to get over since what was a very serious lockdown.”
Wilson stated the “fringe of prestige” or middle-market suburbs have been performing effectively whereas individuals promoting property in inside suburbs similar to Hawthorn and Camberwell have been struggling to search out patrons.
“The Mornington Peninsula has been an underperformer, comparable to the inner east and inner southern suburbs,” he stated.
