montmorency Suburb Profile & Review

'Monty,' as it is affectionately known by its residents, is a vibrant and traditional area featuring an array of unique cafes, bakeries and beauty salons, and few commercial chain stores. Visitors to the Were Street shopping precinct could be forgiven for thinking they are in a quaint country town. A three-storey high ornamental windmill looms over the area, and mosaic pictures representing scenes from oral histories of the suburb are inlaid in the footpaths.

Eltham, Greensborough, Templestowe and Doncaster are all close by, meaning residents have ready access to larger shopping centres and public transport facilities. Families enjoy proximity to four schools, such as top ranked Montmorency South Primary School.

From Montmorency Station it is a forty-five minute trip to the city, but scenic country areas such as the Kinglake National Park are also only a short drive away. Montmorency adjoins Plenty River and boasts beautiful parks and reserves such as Montmorency Park, which also incorporates playing fields and club facilities for its local football clubs.

Median values less than 3 months old are often not always accurate (due to incomplete data) and therefore cannot be relied upon for long-term montmorency property price predictions.

montmorency Income & Mortgage Stats

To calculate the percentage of income paid towards a mortgage for the suburb of Melbourne, multiply the mortgage payment (e.g. $2450) by 12 then divide this figure by the weekly income (e.g. $1200) multiplied by 52 (weeks) to look like this ($2450 x12/$1200 x 52) x 100 = 47%

Any figure above 30% usually indicates that the suburb you intend to buy in may have property owners with a high incidence of mortgage stress. In terms of maintaining or growing property values in the future and trying to secure a strong property price when selling, this could have an impact, especially in an economic or local industry downturn.
