Geelong’s property market continues to demonstrate robust diversity and momentum across both coastal and suburban markets, with a strong number of settled sales in the final week of July. From entry-level townhouses in Marshall to multimillion-dollar coastal homes in Ocean Grove and acreage estates in Wallington and Drysdale, this week’s sales reflect a broad and active cross-section of buyer interest. The regional city remains a magnet for lifestyle seekers, investors, and growing families alike—cementing its position as one of Victoria’s most dynamic property regions.
One of the top results of the week came from Ocean Grove, where 2/5 Whitton Street achieved a headline price of $1,700,000. With four bedrooms, a premium layout, and just steps from the beach, this result is a clear indicator of sustained demand for lock-and-leave coastal residences. Ocean Grove’s prestige segment is well and truly alive, backed up by additional transactions such as 10 Gambier Street at $1,165,000, 47 Marmion Circuit at $1,050,000, and 14 Merlan Street at $850,000. The volume and strength of these results reflect consistent buyer appetite for high-quality homes near the coast.
Point Lonsdale was another top performer this week, with 37 Saltbush Circuit settling at $1,160,000, followed closely by sales in St Leonards, where 20 Port Deakin Street sold for $1,080,000, and 10 Turnberry Close reached $860,000. These pockets of the Bellarine Peninsula continue to surge, as Melbourne downsizers and local upsizers seek out sea-change opportunities with lifestyle appeal.
In the rural-residential space, 36-50 Basin Road in Drysdale traded for a strong $1,230,000, offering over 2 hectares of land and broad appeal for those prioritising space and semi-rural charm. Even more significant was the $1,650,000 result at 307-311 Rhinds Road in Wallington, a premium lifestyle property on 1.38 hectares—a clear standout for the week and a reflection of the market’s willingness to pay for land, privacy, and prestige in one package.
Closer to the CBD, Geelong West saw a quality three-bedroom unit at 3/42-46 Britannia Street sell for $837,500, reinforcing the suburb’s reputation for solid value and investment-grade credentials. Buyers continue to see the benefits of this location with its proximity to Pakington Street, the train station, and the waterfront.
Belmont and Highton continued to deliver benchmark results in the city’s inner-south, where location, schooling, and elevation are top drawcards. Notable sales included 6 Badenoch Court in Highton at $1,310,000, 35 Larcombe Street at $845,000, and 3 Regent Street, Belmont which achieved $1,020,000. Mid-tier Belmont offerings were also active, with 141 Francis Street selling for $625,000, 25B Olwen Avenue at $545,000, and 16 Brocka Avenue at $712,000.
The Armstrong Creek growth corridor delivered another flurry of activity, with a wide price range reflecting the depth of product in this area. Highlights included 27 Barleycorn Bend at $710,000, 22 Eucalypt Street at $690,000, 11 Jacana Way at $645,000, and 69 Munro Drive at $590,000. The diversity of home types—from compact family dwellings to larger double-garage homes—ensures Armstrong Creek remains a high-turnover area for both builders and established stock.
Lara, too, remains a steady performer. 9 Rubena Crescent changed hands for $765,000, and 83 Smeaton Close fetched $620,000, while 10 Woodland Street recorded $770,000. All signs point to a strong market in Lara for families and commuters looking for larger land and good access to Melbourne and Geelong.
Grovedale saw several solid sales, including 2 Nevett Court at $635,000, and 2/13 Kurrajong Court at $470,000, while Marshall saw value with 12/9 Moretti Court selling for $420,000. These entry-level townhouses and units continue to attract investors and downsizers, particularly given their proximity to train lines and shopping amenities.
In the north, Corio saw continued strength with multiple transactions, including 65 Cloverdale Drive at $542,000, 16 Howitt Avenue at $600,000, 13 Dorset Court at $565,000, and 15 Kosciusko Avenue at $530,000. Norlane followed closely with 28 Curlew Crescent selling for $500,000. These figures demonstrate a stable investor and first-home buyer interest in the north, where rental yields and affordability intersect.
Curlewis posted two notable sales—67 You Yangs Avenue at $880,000 and 32 Border Collie Close at $615,000—both signalling that Bellarine’s inland estates continue to offer family-friendly options just minutes from the coast. Meanwhile, Portarlington and Indented Head delivered further strength, with land and unit sales rounding out the picture.
At the more affordable end of the market, suburbs like Breakwater, Newcomb, and Bell Post Hill had healthy turnover. 6 Hamilton Court in Breakwater sold for $530,000, 31 Andrew Street, Newcomb achieved $600,000, and 3 Braund Ave, Bell Post Hill sold for $590,000. Each of these suburbs continues to appeal to value-conscious buyers who want proximity to Geelong’s CBD without the premium price tag.
Rounding out the week, residential land also performed well. 86 Lake Avenue, Ocean Grove sold for $810,000, and 29 Batman Street, Portarlington changed hands at $700,000, demonstrating ongoing demand for coastal builds in prime locations.
Overall, this week’s sales confirm that Geelong remains a multifaceted market, where demand is spread evenly across coastal, urban, and semi-rural segments. The upper end is clearly thriving, as demonstrated by the sheer number of million-dollar-plus deals, but the middle and lower ends of the market are just as active. Whether you’re after beachside luxury, land for future growth, or a classic brick veneer near the city, Geelong continues to offer something for every buyer profile.
