Lifestyle resort living can also offer some fantastic financial benefits:
- No stamp duty on your purchase
- No entry or exit fees
- Keep 100% of the capital gain when you sell
- If eligible, you may receive Commonwealth Rent Assistance to help towards your weekly site fee
- Electricity and water are individually metered, so you pay for your own usage
Whether you’re just starting to explore the idea of downsizing or you’re ready to make the move, Steph can help you compare the different resorts and find the lifestyle property that feels right for you.
Hervey Bay has a growing selection of Over 50s Lifestyle Resorts and retirement living communities, including Ingenia Lifestyle Hervey Bay, Thyme Lifestyle Resort Hervey Bay, Latitude 25, Anchorage Lifestyle Resort, Palm Lake Resort Hervey Bay, Hazelmere Village and Sugar Coast Village. Each resort offers a different lifestyle, range of facilities, home styles and price points. A local lifestyle resort property specialist can help you compare the options and find the community that best suits you.
Many Over 50s Lifestyle Resort properties operate under a land-lease or manufactured-home model, where you purchase the home but lease the site on which it sits. In these arrangements, stamp duty generally does not apply to the purchase of the manufactured home. This can make lifestyle resort living an attractive option for retirees looking to downsize in Hervey Bay. The exact legal and financial position should always be confirmed for the individual property before purchasing.
Weekly site fees vary between Hervey Bay lifestyle resorts and can also vary depending on the home, site and individual agreement. Site fees contribute to the ongoing operation of the community and access to resort facilities. Eligible residents may also qualify for government rental assistance, which can help offset some of the weekly site fee. Buyers should check their individual eligibility with Services Australia.
An Over 50s Lifestyle Resort can be quite different from a traditional retirement village. Many Hervey Bay lifestyle resorts operate under a land-lease model, allowing residents to own their home while leasing the land. Depending on the resort and agreement, there may be no stamp duty, no entry fees and no exit fees, and homeowners may retain the capital gain when they sell. Always check the individual resort agreement, as terms can differ between communities.
Potentially, yes. Some eligible residents of land-lease lifestyle resorts may be able to claim Commonwealth Rent Assistance towards the site fees they pay. Eligibility depends on your personal circumstances and the type of government payment you receive. If you’re considering retirement or downsizing into an Over 50s Lifestyle Resort in Hervey Bay, it’s worth checking your eligibility with Services Australia before purchasing.
