The Ballarat property market continued its strong winter performance this week, with a healthy volume of sales across diverse price points and property types. From million-dollar homes in Alfredton and Lake Gardens to budget-friendly units and townhouses in Sebastopol and Delacombe, the market shows sustained momentum and balanced buyer interest. With more than 30 properties sold this week, including several standout results, the data paints a picture of a region that continues to offer affordability, lifestyle, and investment appeal in equal measure.
The highest sale this week came from one of Ballarat’s most coveted lake precincts. 59 St Michaels Place, Lake Gardens changed hands for an impressive $1,650,000. This five-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a 797m² block exemplified prestige family living with its manicured grounds, double garage, and seamless access to Lake Wendouree. Buyers are still paying premium prices in lifestyle pockets that deliver location, quality, and space.
Not far behind, 3 Luxford Street in Alfredton sold for $1,200,000, reinforcing the suburb’s status as one of Ballarat’s highest-performing family enclaves. This stylish four-bedroom home on a generous 579m² block offered a blend of contemporary design and practical layout, making it a strong contender for upgraders and professionals seeking space without sacrificing convenience. Alfredton has been a consistent performer in 2025, benefiting from strong school zoning and proximity to Lucas amenities.
The mid-range of the market continued to show broad activity, with standout sales across Lucas, Ballarat East, and Miners Rest. 6 Cecile Court in Ballarat East fetched $655,000, offering a well-rounded three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with ample garage space on a 687m² block. Buyers remain keen on Ballarat East due to its blend of heritage character, larger blocks, and renewed investment in local infrastructure.
In Lucas, demand remains hot with four-bedroom homes dominating buyer demand. 18 Whatman Street sold for $585,000, while 3 Harris Drive fetched the same figure. 1 Daly Drive achieved $625,000, and 8 Hubbard Street reached $613,000. These consistent results reflect the suburb’s position as a top choice for families and first-home buyers, especially given its master-planned amenities, schools, and public transport links.
Meanwhile, 2 Market Street in Miners Rest secured $535,000—a strong result for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a compact 444m² parcel. This area has become increasingly attractive for buyers wanting a semi-rural feel without leaving Ballarat’s metropolitan fringe. Miners Rest continues to attract attention for its proximity to the Western Freeway and its family-friendly environment.
On the more affordable end, Sebastopol remains a favourite for entry-level buyers. 3/12A Edwards Street sold for $406,000, and 101 Beverin Street achieved $450,000 for a solid three-bedroom home on a sprawling 1,100m² block. In the same suburb, a two-bedroom unit at 1/3 Hopkins Court went for just $302,000, reaffirming that affordable buying opportunities still exist in Ballarat’s south.
Lake Wendouree, although usually reserved for prestige homes, saw a more accessible entry this week with 3/1015A Gregory Street selling for $400,000. The two-bedroom townhouse represents an affordable way to secure a foothold in this blue-chip location.
Ballarat Central saw a range of activity across multiple property types. A highlight was 609 Dana Street, sold for $715,000, offering buyers a charming three-bedroom character home within walking distance to the CBD. Meanwhile, 5/4 Lyons Street South traded for $415,000, demonstrating strong interest in inner-city apartments. 7 Beaufort Crescent, a three-bedroom property, sold for $650,000, maintaining the strong figures we’ve seen all year in Central Ballarat.
The Golden Point precinct also saw movement with 1/603 Main Road selling for $330,000, and 2 Magpie Street achieving $535,000—a sharp result for a three-bedroom home on a 473m² block. With its proximity to Sovereign Hill and dining precincts, Golden Point is being rediscovered by both owner-occupiers and investors.
Alfredton had another strong showing. 43 Wensleydale Drive sold for $675,000, offering a four-bedroom layout on a 779m² block, while 56 Clovedale Avenue traded for $536,000, adding further weight to Alfredton’s ongoing appeal. These results reflect continued strength in both newer and established parts of the suburb.
Other noteworthy results included 9 Fernbanks Court in Ballarat North at $725,000, a large family home on a 672m² allotment, and 18 Robert Drive at $470,000, showing the variance within the suburb depending on layout, updates, and block size.
Regional fringes were not left behind. 45 Linton-Piggoreet Road in Linton sold for $610,000, showing strong interest in larger blocks away from the city. 2 Eddy Avenue in Mount Helen, a rare parcel of residential land, fetched $405,000, highlighting the growing scarcity of available land within the greater Ballarat area.
Finally, 5/491 Wiltshire Lane in Delacombe sold for $400,000, while 906 Skipton Street in Redan settled at the same figure. Both represent valuable buys for downsizers or investors looking to secure well-located properties under the median price.
Overall, the diversity of sales this week confirms that Ballarat continues to offer opportunities across the spectrum—from first-home buyers and investors to high-end family purchasers. With consistent price performance, particularly in suburbs like Alfredton, Lucas, and Ballarat Central, the region remains one of Victoria’s most resilient regional markets.
