The Geelong property market delivered a remarkably active performance this past week, with buyers engaging across every major pocket—from Highton and Belmont to Armstrong Creek, Norlane, Lara, and Charlemont. A diverse range of properties moved—from top-tier family homes to investor-friendly units and well-located land—proving that demand remains firm in both affordable and premium brackets as winter enters its final stretch.
The highest sale this week was recorded in the blue-chip suburb of Highton, where 18 Valencay Avenue changed hands for $1,320,000. This five-bedroom, three-bathroom home on 680m² attracted buyers with its elevated position, designer features, and ideal family layout. Highton continues to shine as Geelong’s prestige residential performer, with buyers seeking proximity to quality schools, river trails, and the vibrant Highton Village.
Another strong Highton result came from 3 Queens Park Road, which sold for $1,155,000. This four-bedroom home on 708m² offered classic appeal in one of the suburb’s most tightly held pockets. The dual successes at the top end underscore Highton’s ongoing appeal for high-income families seeking lifestyle, location, and capital growth potential.
In contrast to these million-dollar results, a number of entry-level and investment-grade properties also moved this week—highlighting Geelong’s broad spectrum of opportunity. 4/53 Regent Street, Whittington, a compact two-bedroom unit, sold for $379,000, offering strong yield potential in a growing rental corridor. Similarly, 3/14-18 Brunel Close, Lara fetched $446,000, appealing to downsizers and investors alike.
The Armstrong Creek corridor remains one of the most dynamic submarkets, with multiple sales reflecting steady growth. 43 Lance Drive sold for $765,000, a standout for a four-bedroom home on 576m², while 15 Glory Way fetched $580,000—an accessible result for a three-bedroom home on a compact 220m² block. Armstrong Creek continues to capture a blend of first-home buyers and upgraders who value the new infrastructure, schooling, and easy access to both Geelong and the Surf Coast.
Nearby Charlemont also delivered strength, with 37 Scullin Road changing hands for $780,000 and 50 Meereen Street selling for $640,000. These results show that the entire growth corridor between Marshall and Armstrong Creek is drawing competitive demand as buyers seek modern homes in well-planned communities.
In Belmont, activity remained solid with 1/27 The Avenue achieving $754,000 and 19 Wimmera Street reaching $655,500. Belmont remains a favourite with families thanks to its proximity to central Geelong, strong public school zones, and easy access to the Barwon River. These results reflect the continued upward price pressure in this well-located inner suburb.
North Geelong posted several sales this week, indicating healthy turnover in this developing precinct. 77 Wurrook Circuit fetched $625,000, 107 Wurrook Circuit sold for $573,000, and 6 Roseneath Street achieved $530,000. These figures reflect strong appetite for relatively affordable homes near the city centre, particularly for young families and first-home buyers.
Meanwhile, Norlane recorded no fewer than four transactions—highlighting its status as a volume mover in the region. Results included 21 Tallis Street at $575,000, 52 Dunloe Avenue at $510,000, 2/3-5 Dardell Court at $451,000, and 11B Granault Parade at $360,000. Norlane continues to appeal to investors and entry-level owner-occupiers, driven by affordability, infrastructure upgrades, and easy access to the Princes Highway.
Grovedale also performed well, with multiple mid-range homes changing hands. 33 Ainslie Avenue sold for $736,500, 20 Waratah Place for $715,000, and 107 Marshalltown Road for $700,000. These results show that Grovedale is holding firm, offering established homes in a location that’s proven popular with commuters and families alike.
In the land sector, 31 Darcy Crescent, Bell Post Hill, changed hands for $295,000, and 150 Whites Road, Mount Duneed, a home on 392m², sold for $670,000. While activity in residential land is seasonally slower, demand continues for well-situated blocks and turnkey homes in growth areas like Mount Duneed.
Lara, traditionally known for large blocks and family-oriented living, saw sales at 31 Rigel Road and 67 Coridale Boulevard, both around $580,000–$742,000—a sweet spot for modern four-bedroom homes. As always, Lara’s drawcard remains its connectivity to Geelong, the Ring Road, and its community-focused appeal.
Rounding out the week’s performance, Corio saw robust movement with five separate transactions including 39 Epsom Road at $570,000, 18 Rotella Avenue at $475,000, and 3 Fronsac Avenue at $408,000. Corio continues to offer one of the region’s last remaining affordability frontiers, drawing interest from investors and renovators looking to ride the next growth cycle.
From a trends perspective, the top end of the market is holding its ground firmly in Highton and Belmont, while mid-tier homes in Grovedale, Lara, and Armstrong Creek continue to turn over at healthy prices. Meanwhile, entry-level homes and units in Norlane, Whittington, and Corio are being snapped up as buyers hedge against future price rises. The diversity of stock and buyer profiles remains one of Geelong’s most defining strengths—and this week’s results only reinforce that outlook.
Whether buyers are seeking growth, lifestyle, or cash flow, Geelong continues to offer pathways at every level of the property ladder.
