Dustin Martin is on the verge of a HUGE real estate payday after making a killing by selling his first home
- Bought a house near Melbourne’s CBD in 2012 for $993,000
- Retired from AFL this season after winning three flags with Tigers
Footy legend Dustin Martin is laughing all 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 distinguished career with Richmond that included three premierships.
A renowned big-match player, the champion midfielder also lifted the Norm Smith Medal as best on ground in each of the Tigers’ grand finals in 2017, 2019 and 2020.
‘Dusty’ has since turned his attention to his real estate portfolio and gone on a killing spree.
The house he bought in 2012 in Albert Park – just 4km south of Melbourne’s CBD – recently sold for almost $1.8 million.
Considering Martin paid $993,000 for the elegant Victorian terrace just over a decade ago, this is a great return on his investment.

The house is perfect for a small family and has three large bedrooms and the beautiful large bathroom has a luxurious bath
Another striking feature is the modernized kitchen and patio doors leading to a private courtyard
Martin is also tipped to enjoy a second windfall from a commercial property in Abbotsford, 2km north-east of the CBD
The beautiful master bathroom has three bedrooms and is equipped with a luxurious bath.

Martin is also tipped to benefit from a significant second windfall from a commercial property in Abbotsford.
Together with his manager Ralph Carr, Martin is among the investors who bought four adjacent retail properties on Victoria St.
They come with an eye-watering price tag of $9 million plus.
It is also believed that a second Abbotsford property on the same street, which Martin and Carr are interested in, will be put on the market in 2025.
The price range is estimated at between $4 million and $5 million.
Martin made his AFL debut in 2010 and despite some lean early years he remained a one-club player at Punt Rd.
Success eventually followed, with Martin a key figure as Tigers fans enjoyed a premiership dynasty.
