With the cost of living crisis in full swing - energy efficient living has never made more sense!

A large house with a lot of windows is sitting on top of a lush green lawn.

With the ongoing surge in interest rates and soaring inflation, Australians are beginning to feel the financial strain caused by utility companies. This is particularly true for those residing in older homes, which are inherently more expensive to heat and cool. Imagine, though, if your home could actually earn you money! Well, this is now a reality for many homeowners in the picturesque coastal town of Cape Paterson, just a couple of hours away from Melbourne. Not only do they get to enjoy the beauty of living by the coast, but their homes also generate enough power to almost completely eliminate utility bills. In some cases, they even have the opportunity to sell their excess energy back to the grid. We've shortlisted a selection of properties that you can buy now, allowing you to experience the joys of coastal living, while also reducing your carbon footprint and significantly cutting costs.

In today's competitive property market across Bass Coast and South Gippsland, the difference between a seamless sale and a stressful, protracted negotiation often comes down to preparation. One of the most powerful yet underutilized tools in a local seller's arsenal is a pre-listing building and pest inspection. Far from being an optional extra, this seemingly small investment can dramatically transform your selling experience in our coastal and rural communities. Let me be absolutely clear: listing your property without a building and pest report in Australia's current market climate isn't just risky—it's financial madness.
