Ballarat’s property market kept its momentum rolling into June, with a notable lift in both buyer confidence and higher-value transactions across a wide geographical spread. From acreage listings to established homes and modern estates, this week’s sales activity showcases Ballarat’s growing appeal to families, investors, and tree-changers alike.
Standout Sales Across the Suburbs
The top sale of the week was secured by Buxton – Ballarat, with 1091 Addington Road, Ascot selling for $850,000. Offering 1.4 hectares of land, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom lifestyle property with ample garaging for 12 vehicles captured strong interest. The semi-rural location combined with expansive space continues to appeal to buyers looking for space without compromising access to Ballarat.
In Soldiers Hill, 9 Surrey Street was another standout, achieving $1,120,000 under Buxton – Ballarat. This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home reflects ongoing demand for renovated and character-filled homes close to the CBD.
Meanwhile, Jellis Craig – Ballarat oversaw the sale of 37 Waranga Street, Nerrina for $960,000, highlighting continued strength in Ballarat’s leafy outskirts, particularly for well-appointed homes with lifestyle elements.
Consistent Activity in Alfredton, Lucas and Winter Valley

Growth in Mid-Tier & Entry-Level Segments
Wendouree and Sebastopol delivered a healthy range of mid-tier and entry-level sales, with price points mostly between $340,000 and $550,000. Key results include:

These numbers indicate solid demand from first-home buyers and investors, particularly for units and well-situated homes with minimal immediate renovation needs.
High-Value Homes and Rural Sales
There was a notable spread of higher-end and rural listings closing this week, contributing significantly to the suburb diversity. Noteworthy transactions include:
- 56 Doble Road, Smythes Creek – $850,000

Snake Valley, in particular, saw a small surge of activity, with four sales finalised. These figures highlight how buyers are increasingly looking toward acreage and semi-rural opportunities as value-for-money alternatives to city-edge properties.
Investor Opportunities and Land Sales
Investor interest remained present, though at a slightly steadier pace. A few notable transactions include:
- Lot 1, 1 Burrumbeet Road, Burrumbeet – $245,000 (residential land)
- 7 Build Street, Armstrong Creek – $325,000 (land sale)
These lower-value land sales may signal ongoing developer interest or long-term buyer planning for custom builds.
