The Hidden Cost of Holding a Vacant Luxury Property — and How to Offset It Today
Your property might be spotless.
Beautifully furnished.
Architecturally significant.
Market-ready.
But if it’s sitting vacant — even for a few months — the real cost of holding it may be higher than you think.
What “Vacant” Actually Costs You Each Month
Here’s what most high-end homeowners pay (often unknowingly) while waiting for the right sale or deciding what to do next:
Council rates and water
Body corporate fees or building levies
Insurance premiums (which may be higher on empty properties)
Security systems or patrols
Landscaping, pool care, or regular maintenance
Staging or styling refresh costs
Cleaning before viewings
General wear from lack of air circulation or use
Depending on the property, you could be spending $2,000–$10,000+ a month just to keep the place market-presentable — with zero return.
And that’s without factoring in mortgage repayments or opportunity cost.
You Don’t Have to Choose Between Income and Image
The common fear? That earning income from the property will somehow devalue it, complicate a sale, or invite wear and tear.
But when done professionally, short-term hosting doesn’t reduce your home’s appeal — it can enhance it:
✔ Regular use keeps the home fresh and ventilated
✔ Premium guests treat the property with respect
✔ Professional cleaners keep it photo- and inspection-ready
✔ Viewings can be scheduled flexibly between guests
✔ You maintain full control over availability
