- I bought a house near Melbourne’s CBD in 2012 for $993,000
- Retired from the AFL this season after winning three flags with the Tigers
Football legend Dustin Martin laughs on the way to the bank after selling the first house he bought in Melbourne for almost double the price.
Martin, 33, recently retired from the AFL after a decorated career at Richmond that included three premierships.
An outstanding big-player, the champion midfielder also won the Norm Smith Medal for best player in each of the Tigers’ grand final wins in 2017, 2019 and 2020.
Since then, ‘Dusty’ has focused his attention on his real estate portfolio and is making money.
The house he bought in Albert Park in 2012, just 4km south of Melbourne’s CBD, recently sold for around $1.8 million.
Given that Martin paid $993,000 for the elegant Victorian terrace just over a decade ago, it’s an excellent return on his investment.

Perfect for a small family, the home features three large bedrooms and the stunning master bathroom features a luxurious bathtub.
Another standout feature is the modernized kitchen and French doors leading to a private patio.
Martin is also hoping to enjoy a second windfall from a commercial property in Abbotsford, located 2km northeast of the CBD.

Martin is also expected to enjoy a significant second windfall from a commercial property in Abbotsford.
Along with his manager Ralph Carr, Martin is among investors selling four neighboring commercial properties on Victoria St.
They come with an incredible price tag of over 9 million dollars.
A second Abbotsford property on the same street in which Martin and Carr have interests is also understood to be listed in 2025.
The price range is estimated to be between $4 million and $5 million.
Martin made his AFL debut in 2010 and, despite some difficult first years, remained a one-club player at Punt Rd.
Success eventually followed, with Martin a key figure as Tigers fans enjoyed a premiership dynasty.
