The Ballarat property market continued its strong October performance with another dynamic week of sales activity. Spanning everything from inner-city units and suburban family homes to high-value lifestyle properties and acreage estates, the market showed consistent momentum across all buyer segments. The week ending 19 October 2025 saw over 30 properties settle across key suburbs like Winter Valley, Alfredton, Canadian, Mount Helen, and Ross Creek — with sales volumes and diversity confirming Ballarat’s appeal remains as solid as ever.
Winter Valley, Alfredton & Lucas: Suburban Heartland Still Dominating
Winter Valley continued to deliver consistent results, reinforcing its reputation as one of Ballarat’s most in-demand growth corridors. Among the notable sales was 16 Sprinter Way, a four-bedroom family home on 533m², which sold for $655,000 — a strong result that reflects buyer confidence in new-build estates. Also in Winter Valley, 4A Majestic Way achieved $595,000, while 19 Anglesea Street settled at $700,000, showcasing that the suburb is hitting that mid-$600K to low-$700K range as a new normal.
Alfredton, another powerhouse performer, recorded several sales including 33 Mia Street at $555,000, 12 Jack Court at $700,000, and 92 Lugano Avenue at $580,000. These results further support Alfredton’s continued strength as a preferred destination for both families and investors. Alfredton’s appeal lies in its proximity to quality schools, shopping precincts, and access to the Lucas Town Centre.
In neighbouring Lucas, 4 Moore Way fetched $765,000, showing that this master-planned community is holding its value well and attracting higher-end buyers seeking modern amenities and lifestyle.
Soldiers Hill & Ballarat North: Period Homes & Character Appeal
High-end buyers with a taste for charm and proximity to the CBD turned their focus to Soldiers Hill, where 310 Lydiard Street North sold for an impressive $1,010,000. This four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence with five car spaces on 803m² offered the perfect blend of heritage, luxury, and location.
Over in Ballarat North, 403 Landsborough Street, a three-bedroom home with three car spaces on a sizeable 739m² block, was sold for $365,000 — a much more affordable entry point in a character-rich suburb, showing the range of price points even within premium pockets.
Mount Helen & Mount Clear: Bigger Blocks, Bigger Results
The leafy, spacious precincts of Mount Helen and Mount Clear had a standout week, with multiple high-value homes settling. 105 Bell Avenue was the top performer, selling for $975,000 — a five-bedroom home on nearly a hectare (9,494m²), attracting those chasing a tree-change lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.
Nearby, 12 Wirilda Court sold for $680,000, and 1114–1116 Geelong Road, Mount Clear, a three-bedroom home on a huge 2,567m² parcel, fetched $760,000. These figures reinforce the trend that semi-rural buyers are pushing prices upward in these areas as they seek larger land parcels close to town.
Ross Creek: Lifestyle Properties Go Big
Lifestyle buyers were also active in Ross Creek, where two major acreage sales were recorded this week. 395 Brays Road, a seven-bedroom estate on 12.9 hectares, was snapped up for a cool $1,000,000, while 6 Natrass Road, a three-bedroom home with nine car spaces on 4.05 hectares, sold for $880,000. These results confirm ongoing demand for acreage in Ballarat’s outer fringe, particularly from Melbourne buyers eyeing relocation or investment opportunities.
Canadian, Golden Point & Bakery Hill: Mid-Tier Moves
Canadian saw solid results in the $500K–$700K band, including 19 Bennett Street at $725,000, 2 Warrambine Drive at $532,000, and 911 Geelong Road at $430,000. Canadian continues to offer value for upsizers and families, especially with its green surroundings and development potential.
Golden Point, just minutes from the CBD, had multiple sales this week including 616 Tress Street at $820,000, 2/21 McKee Street at $462,000, and 71 Peel Street South at $402,000. Even smaller properties, like 206A Grant Street, sold for $227,000, illustrating that inner-suburban stock is appealing across a wide buyer base.
Bakery Hill also had a solid showing, with 104 Barkly Street, a three-bedroom home with three car spaces, selling for $543,000. These tightly held, historic pockets continue to draw interest from both investors and downsizers.
Sebastopol, Brown Hill & Mitchell Park: The Affordable Belt
Sebastopol and Brown Hill continue to offer the best in affordability and convenience. 37 Morgan Street in Sebastopol sold for $425,000, while 2/11 Canterbury Street in Brown Hill achieved $450,000. Brown Hill also recorded strong interest with 345A Humffray Street North going for $511,000 and 27 Water Street for $475,000.
Mitchell Park also featured, with 13 Ashwood Gardens selling for $510,000, reaffirming its position as a well-located, family-friendly suburb.
Acreage & Fringe Towns: Enfield & Beyond
In Enfield, 47 Melaleuca Road fetched $560,000 for a four-bedroom home on 1.31 hectares. This underscores the continued appetite for rural living options where buyers can enjoy space, privacy, and lifestyle just outside Ballarat.
Units & Entry-Level Buyers Still in the Game
The lower end of the market remained active too, as 3/4 Marie Crescent, a one-bedroom unit in Wendouree, sold for $275,000. This kind of transaction illustrates that first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers are still present and ready to act on appropriately priced opportunities.
Market Overview:
Ballarat’s property market showed no signs of cooling this week. With strong sales across a wide spectrum of suburbs and price points — from million-dollar lifestyle homes to affordable units and townhouses — the diversity of transactions reflects a healthy, balanced market.
Notably, high-value homes in Soldiers Hill, Mount Helen, and Ross Creek are setting benchmarks for prestige, while Winter Valley, Lucas, and Alfredton continue to dominate for volume and consistency. Demand across Ballarat remains high, especially for well-maintained, well-located family homes.
As we head deeper into the spring selling season, competition is likely to increase, especially as more homes hit the market. Buyers would be wise to move swiftly, while sellers have every reason to feel confident about listing now.
