Preston is a rising destination for Melbourne families and first-home buyers. Chief Auctioneer and Collings senior agent Adriano Persichetti explains how to weigh location, price, property and timing.
What Makes Preston Appealing?
- 10km from CBD, extensive tram/train/bus links
- Shopping, parks, cafes, markets, schools
- Pocket differences: east vs west vs central Preston
Advice for First-Home and Family Buyers
- Define must-have vs negotiable criteria
- Research recent sales and market trends
- Factor in practical daily needs (commute, schools, parks, community)
- Don’t let friends and “Eddie the expert” talk you out of a good buy if it fits your needs and budget

With 20+ years’ experience, Adriano guides buyers through the research and negotiation process so you avoid overpaying or missing strong opportunities.
