Should I sell or rent my house in Preston in 2026?

Deciding whether to sell or rent out your Preston home in 2026 comes down to your financial goals, current market conditions, and your readiness for ongoing landlord responsibility. Local data indicates Preston house prices have been stable-to-rising, but rental yields are also stronger than the Melbourne metro average.

Consider selling if:

• You want to realise equity for the next purchase
• You’re not prepared for landlord compliance/repairs
• Your home needs major work for strong rental appeal

Consider renting if:

• Rental returns cover/match mortgage and costs
• You want to defer capital gains tax
• Longer-term growth outlook remains positive
