Display homes for sale

Looking to invest in a display home? Metricon Homes has a range of stunning display homes for sale in prime locations. These homes are built to showcase our best work and are packed with premium inclusions. Plus, with a leaseback in place, you receive rental income while we continue to present your home.

Own a home that’s built to impress from day one

A display home is more than a beautifully finished space, it's a smart, move-in ready investment with serious appeal. It offers a high-end lifestyle today, with the potential for solid rental returns and future growth.

For home buyers looking for standout floorplans, high-quality finishes and peace of mind from day one, Metricon's display homes for sale hit the mark.

As Australia’s leading home builder, Metricon Homes has been setting the standard in new home design for decades. Our display homes are crafted to showcase our award-winning craftsmanship, floor coverings, benchtops, landscaping and inclusions. They reflect our most popular home designs and are built in some of the most desirable postcodes across VIC, NSW, SA, and QLD.

What is a display home?

A display home is a fully built and professionally styled version of one of our home designs. It’s created to show you the space, layout and inclusions you can expect when you build with us. From upgraded finishes to statement kitchens and seamless alfresco areas, these homes are designed to impress.

Unlike standard house & land packages or knockdown rebuilds, buying a display home means you can skip the building process entirely. You get a finished home that has been maintained to a high standard, often in prime residential areas.

Why buy a display home?

Display homes stand out in the market for good reason. Here’s why they're a smart choice:

  • They include premium upgrades and high-end finishes
  • Located in sought-after, masterplanned communities
  • Designed and built by Australia’s most trusted builder
  • Fully landscaped with driveway, fencing and gardens included
  • Kept in pristine condition throughout the leaseback
  • Ideal as an investment property or a future dream home

Whether you're an investor, a downsizer, or a first-time home buyer looking for style and convenience, display homes offer an appealing alternative to buying off the plan.

Where are your display homes for sale located?

Metricon has display homes for sale in prime locations across Australia. That includes Melbourne and surrounding suburbs, fast-growing Regional Victoria, sunny Queensland hotspots, and sought-after postcodes across Sydney and greater NSW. That means wherever you are in the country, there’s a display home near you.

Plus, you’ll find a mix of single storey and double storey homes across a range of block sizes and house sizes, so there’s something for every lifestyle and budget.

How the leaseback arrangement works

When you buy a display home, you immediately become the legal owner of the property. Most contracts have a leaseback agreement which means Metricon leases it back from you for a fixed period. During this leaseback, we continue to use the home as part of our display network.

The lease term typically runs between 12 to 36 months, during which you’ll receive rental income from Metricon, often at a rate above standard market rent.

Plus, it's a secure leaseback guarantee. This means you can rely on consistent payments without worrying about vacancy periods or fluctuating rental demand. It gives you time to plan your next steps, knowing exactly when the home will become available for resale, personal use, or continued investment.

All general maintenance and upkeep during this period is also fully managed by our team, so you won’t need to worry about ongoing costs or organising repairs.

Earning rental income from day one

With a display home, your investment starts working for you immediately. There are no construction delays or waiting periods. As soon as settlement is complete, you begin earning rental income.

This makes it easier to plan finances and enjoy consistency with your returns. Many of our buyers see this as a key benefit over building new or renovating, which can involve delays and added costs.

Tax benefits and depreciation advantages

Display homes come with another bonus: strong depreciation benefits. Because they’re new builds with premium inclusions and fixtures, they can often deliver higher depreciation claims compared to older homes. That means potential tax advantages for investors.

Just remember to speak with a financial advisor to understand how depreciation may work for your individual situation.

Location, growth potential and resale appeal

Metricon display homes are built in hand-picked estates and growth corridors, giving them strong capital growth potential. These areas are carefully chosen for their community appeal, future infrastructure and buyer demand.

Once the leaseback ends, you have the option to:

  • Sell and potentially enjoy capital gains
  • Rent it out again as a traditional investment property
  • Move in and enjoy a high-end, move-in ready dream home

With quality landscaping, inclusions and finishes already done, resale appeal stays strong long after the display period ends.

Invest in a Metricon Display Home

During the lease period you will enjoy a great return on your investment as well as enjoying the security of a long term tenant. You will also have any maintenance issues taken care of during the display period.

After the duration of the display period, the choice will then be yours – move in and start enjoying your beautiful home or continue to rent it out as an investment property.

At Metricon, our homes are built with care and backed by decades of experience. Every display home for sale is a reflection of our award-winning craftsmanship and commitment to excellence.

That includes our industry-leading Lifetime Structural Guarantee on qualified homes. So, you can feel confident you’re buying a home that’s not just stylish, but built to stand the test of time.

FAQs:

1. What happens after the lease ends?

You can choose to move in, lease it out again, or sell. The home is yours.

2. Are display homes more expensive than standard homes?

Display homes may include premium upgrades, landscaping, and high-end inclusions that add to the overall price, but they often offer better value than building the same home from scratch. That’s because the cost to individually select and add these features during a custom build can end up higher than the packaged pricing of a display home.

3. Do I keep all the upgrades and fittings?

Yes, all included upgrades, appliances and fixtures stay with the home.

4. Who pays for maintenance during the leaseback?

Metricon handles all general maintenance while the leaseback is active.

5. Is a display home the right investment for me?

If you want a high-quality home in a great location with immediate income and potential for future growth, a display home could be a great fit.
