Buxton Balnarring - Fifth Mornington Peninsula Office Now Open
We are proud to announce the opening of our new Buxton Mornington Peninsula office in Balnarring. This marks our fifth location in the region, strengthening our presence and enhancing our ability to serve the growing local property market, including the rural and equestrian sectors.
Under the leadership of Holly Longmuir, Buxton Mornington Peninsula has grown from a single office with four team members to nearly 50 across five locations: Flinders, Sorrento, Blairgowrie, Mount Eliza, and now Balnarring. As of December 2024, we hold a leading 27.7% market share in Flinders and the surrounding areas.
“Our expansion into Balnarring is a natural step forward,” says Holly. “Over the past decade, we have built strong connections between Flinders and Balnarring. Many homeowners are looking to move closer to Mornington, making Balnarring a key link in the region. This new office allows us to better serve our clients across a broader corridor, from Flinders to Somers and beyond.”
The new Balnarring office will connect our teams from Flinders through to Mt Eliza and will be managed by a team of experienced agents. Tim Ripper, a former director of a local agency, brings extensive industry knowledge, while Cam Jamison, who recently joined Buxton, offers a strong background in equestrian real estate.
Samantha Moffatt, whose career began in the rural and equestrian space, has quickly become a market specialist. “For me, this move is a return to my roots,” she said.
Our Balnarring office will play a key role in facilitating transitions for up-sizers, downsizers, and rural buyers.
Over the past six months, we have experienced strong market activity in Balnarring, Balnarring Beach, and Somers, achieving a median sale price of $2,332,500—significantly higher than the market median of $1.43 million. Buyer inquiries for Buxton properties in the area have reached 1,409, compared to the market average of 164, with a median ‘days on market’ of 46 versus the broader market’s 62.
“When we first started ten years ago, the rural and equestrian market was a primary focus for Samantha and me. We always dreamed of opening an office in this beautiful town, but as we grew, our expansion naturally followed the coastline, the opening of our Balnarring office is an opportunity to reignite that dream.”
