305/12 Thomas Holmes Street, Maribyrnong VIC 3032

85sqm terrace | 1-bedroom apartment | owner-occupied complex | Maribyrnong river precinct This property’s primary competitive edge is its 85sqm terrace, which is rare for a one-bedroom unit and effectively functions as an additional living room. The engineered oak flooring and Bosch kitchen are above entry-level spec, and the 90% owner-occupier ratio signals a well-maintained building with lower turnover risk. It suits a professional who values indoor-outdoor space over a second bedroom, or an investor targeting tenants who will stay longer due to the lifestyle amenity. The key risk is the price gap between the current guide and the 2020 sale price of $500,000, which may indicate a softening market for this unit type. The 44-day average days on market suggests buyers have negotiating room. The 6.4% rental yield is strong for a one-bedder, but the 10% rental ratio means future capital growth will depend on owner-occupier demand, not investor speculation. Hold this property as a lifestyle-oriented home or a long-term rental with stable yield, but do not expect rapid appreciation.
