Across 420 strata homes listed in Victoria, the typical monthly fee is $502, with most falling between $310 and $852.
The typical listed strata here was built in 2008, roughly 18 years ago. Newer buildings usually face smaller near-term renewals, though reserve contributions still build toward them.
19% of the listed strata stock in Victoria is 40 years or older, so comparing two buildings here often means comparing where each one sits in its renewal cycle.
Roofs and boilers commonly come due around 25 years, building envelopes around 30. A building's age is the strongest clue to what its next report will focus on.
