Melbourne
Melbourne / VIC is a deep education, healthcare and professional-services market with strong inner-ring rental demand and a 2025 Victorian short-stay levy overlay. In the Australia beta page it should be read as a practical diligence market, not a headline destination: tenant depth, local regulation, exit liquidity and building-level permissions decide the outcome. Demand is mainly supported by Universities, Healthcare and life sciences, Corporate services, while the investor case is strongest as a selective buy-and-hold allocation. For Israeli buyers, the key is to verify title, bank/KYC, tax registration, local property management and STR legality before relying on gross yield. The row therefore uses conservative sourced fields and keeps unsupported STR yield cells null rather than inventing performance.

Local STR Rules — Melbourne
Victoria applies a short-stay levy and local/building permissions still control lawful STR operation.

All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
Market Review — Melbourne
Australia is a rule-of-law, high-credit market, but it is not a casual foreign-buyer market. Treat it as a counsel-led allocation: confirm FIRB eligibility, state surcharge taxes, bank appetite and vacancy-tax exposure before LOI.
The CASABROVA view is selective rather than broadly bullish. Sydney and Melbourne give institutional liquidity; Brisbane and Perth may offer better yield/entry trade-offs. Currency exposure sits in AUD, so an ILS-funded buyer should model FX separately from property yield.
For 2026, use Australia for capital preservation and tenant-quality exposure, not for easy leverage or STR optionality. If the asset depends on short-stay income, verify the state and municipal rules before pricing it.
