- Regional commercial centre role — Mornington functions as a major retail, dining and services hub for the broader peninsula, anchored by Main Street and Mornington Central.

- Interest rate and lending sensitivity — like all property markets, local prices and buyer activity can be affected by changes in interest rates and lending conditions.
- Seasonal tourism dependency — parts of the local economy are linked to tourism, which can be seasonal and subject to broader economic conditions.
