As June draws to a close, Ballarat’s property market continues to show strength across multiple price brackets, reflecting a diverse buyer landscape and steady demand across both emerging estates and long-established neighbourhoods. For the week ending Saturday, 28 June 2025, a solid number of properties changed hands, with buyers showing clear interest in lifestyle offerings, move-in-ready homes, and well-located investment opportunities. From first-home units in Redan to multimillion-dollar properties in Nerrina, this week’s results paint a picture of a vibrant regional market with options to suit every need.
The headline sale this week came out of Nerrina, where Will Munro of Ray White Ballarat oversaw the $1,480,600 transaction of 3-5 Cardross Close. This expansive property offered four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and ample car accommodation on a sizeable 1,346sqm allotment. The premium price tag reflects the suburb’s rising appeal among buyers seeking semi-rural lifestyle with proximity to the city. Nerrina continues to position itself as one of Ballarat’s most desirable fringe suburbs, combining leafy serenity with urban convenience.
Ballarat North also saw solid activity, with another Will Munro sale at 16 Hurley Street reaching $535,000. A four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with multiple car spaces on 704sqm made this property particularly attractive to young families. It’s indicative of the steady price growth in Ballarat North, a suburb long regarded for its character homes and accessible location near local schools and amenities.
In the fast-developing Winter Valley, 12 Volt Street traded for $506,000—again with Will Munro at the helm. This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home reflects the suburb’s ongoing popularity with buyers seeking affordable yet modern builds in newly developed estates. The consistent turnover in Winter Valley is a strong signal of continued demand in Ballarat’s growth corridors.
Further east in Ballarat East, Sarah Skinner from McGrath Ballarat oversaw the sale of 117 Eureka Street for $400,000. Offering four bedrooms and four car spaces on a compact 392sqm parcel, this property speaks to the area’s mix of heritage appeal and investor-friendly pricing. Ballarat East remains a hotspot for buyers drawn to character homes and strong rental returns.
Winter Valley again made its presence known, with 21 Butcherbird Parade selling for $560,000 via Ballarat Real Estate’s Lachlan Sylvia. This is another sign of the suburb’s strength, particularly for four-bedroom homes catering to families and downsizers alike.
Over in Sebastopol, Michael McIntosh from Buxton Ballarat finalised a $530,000 sale at 31 Westcliffe Crescent. The suburb continues to present well for buyers wanting value without sacrificing access to services. With comparable homes pushing past the half-million-dollar mark, Sebastopol has clearly moved out of the “affordable” bracket and into a new tier of desirability.
Lucas also clocked in with a $470,000 result at 81 Oshannassy Parade, again through Ballarat Real Estate. The steady growth in Lucas mirrors Ballarat’s overall westward expansion and is supported by new infrastructure, schools, and retail developments in the area.
Properties closer to the city centre also performed well. In Lake Wendouree, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property at 4/1015A Gregory Street sold for $400,000 through Mark Nunn of Buxton Ballarat—evidence that proximity to Ballarat’s lake precinct remains a drawcard, even for compact housing formats.
Smaller-scale properties didn’t disappoint either. In Redan, multiple transactions highlighted demand in the more affordable brackets. A one-bedroom unit at 3/723 Latrobe Street sold for $242,500 via Trevor Petrie Real Estate, while a three-bedroom home at 1/110 Yarrowee Parade reached $220,000 under the guidance of Elijah Tong at Ballarat Real Estate. These entry-level opportunities remain vital for first-home buyers and investors, especially amid broader market constraints.
Meanwhile, at the higher end of the market, 413 Skipton Street in Redan sold for $975,000—a sizable result for the area, reflecting significant upgrades and large land size. The diversity in price points across Redan highlights how buyers with varying budgets can all find appealing stock in the same suburb.
In Invermay Park, a sale at 6 Harrier Drive reached $787,500. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property continues the suburb’s trend of commanding strong mid-to-high-range results, particularly among local upgraders.
Other notable sales included a $640,000 result in Newington (21 Muir Crescent), $620,500 in Miners Rest (45 Flewin Avenue), and $600,000 in Wendouree (3 Orama Avenue). These suburbs each tell their own story—Newington with its leafy heritage charm, Miners Rest as a rural-residential favourite, and Wendouree as a long-standing family enclave seeing significant renewal.
Further movement occurred in Mount Clear, where 5 Bacchus Road achieved $536,000, and in Alfredton, where 27 Leitrim Street moved at $600,000. Both suburbs are highly sought after by families for their school zones and suburban layouts.
The lower end of the market remained active too. Units and townhouses in Redan, Golden Point, and Sebastopol traded between $220,000 and $370,000, highlighting ongoing investor confidence and solid rental demand.
Looking over the week as a whole, the sales results show robust buyer activity across Ballarat. While high-end homes are commanding strong premiums, there is still healthy interest in lower and middle brackets. This reflects balanced market conditions and growing confidence among both local buyers and Melbourne-based investors who continue to recognise Ballarat’s long-term potential.
With June now wrapped and EOFY insights around the corner, all eyes will be on July to see whether seasonal momentum carries through or begins to taper. For now, Ballarat stands firm as a dynamic market offering a range of property opportunities—and buyers are clearly responding.
Stay tuned next week as we break down the next round of sales and spotlight emerging suburb trends.
