As we wrapped up the first week of June, the Geelong property market continued to deliver a dynamic blend of standout sales, coastal competition, and suburban value. Buyers remained active across a wide range of price points—from tightly held Newtown and Ocean Grove gems to affordable units in Norlane and Corio. Whether you’re tracking market movement for an upcoming sale or simply keeping a pulse on property trends, here’s a detailed look at what sold this past week in Geelong and its surrounding suburbs.
Strong Premium Activity in Belmont, Newtown, and Avalon
The top of the market saw some impressive numbers this week. Belmont remains a consistent performer with 25 Davis Street achieving $1,190,000, and 12 Digby Avenue also closing at a healthy $892,000. Nearby in Highton, 34 Fogarty Avenue sold for $910,000, showing strong buyer confidence in this elevated family-friendly pocket.
In Newtown, 13/12 Balcombe Road was secured for $1,195,000, a strong result for a 3-bedroom residence in a tightly held enclave. But the standout high-end sale this week was in Avalon, where 30 Orlando Grove changed hands for a substantial $1,800,000—an acreage estate with 6 bedrooms and space for 24 vehicles, reflecting strong interest in rural-lifestyle properties near Geelong’s northern corridor.
The Coast Holds Steady: Ocean Grove and Bellarine
Ocean Grove once again demonstrated its strong appeal, with a string of sales across the suburb. 45 Dare Street brought in $1,550,000, while 2/9-11 The Parade sold for $1,245,000—a townhouse result that further proves demand is no longer confined to freestanding homes.
Other notable coastal sales included 81 Sunset Strip at $972,000, 18 Richard Avenue at $832,000, and 27 Launceston Street at $900,000. The mix of beachside access, growing amenities, and strong rental returns continues to attract a broad spectrum of buyers.
In Clifton Springs, 13 Coolabah Way achieved $590,000, while 51 Boonderabbi Drive brought in $815,000—both solid figures for a quieter coastal alternative with growing popularity among families and retirees.
Suburban Surge: Mount Duneed, Lara, and Armstrong Creek
Geelong’s growth corridors remained busy this week, particularly in Mount Duneed and Armstrong Creek. 98 Franklin Road sold for $900,000, while 35 Malbec Loop fetched $790,000, and 61 Holst Street reached $675,000. These results reflect a maturing market where land supply, new builds, and lifestyle factors converge.
Lara also delivered several solid results, including 31 Cape Barron Drive at $730,000 and 11 Mossman Street at $660,000, both showcasing the suburb’s appeal to growing families seeking value without sacrificing access to Geelong or Melbourne.
Affordable Entry Points Remain Active

Grovedale also remained a steady player, with 13 Polley Court moving for $775,000 and 3/141 Grove Road at $507,500.
One-bedroom and two-bedroom unit sales performed well too. 4/7 Sanglen Terrace, Belmont changed hands for just $355,000, an attractive entry point for downsizers or those looking to break into the inner-city market.
Development Potential and Lifestyle Acreage
There were a number of high-interest sales in acreage and semi-rural areas this week, offering both development potential and lifestyle flexibility. Standouts included:
- 25 Homestead Avenue, Wallington – Sold for $1,750,000 (1.02ha)

These results underline the continued demand for land-rich assets offering either future development upside or immediate lifestyle appeal—particularly for buyers coming from metropolitan Melbourne.
Final Thoughts
The week ending Saturday, 7 June 2025 brought robust momentum across Geelong’s diverse real estate market. From million-dollar trophy homes in Belmont and Ocean Grove to accessible options in Norlane and Corio, the region is showcasing just how broad its buyer appeal has become.
Coastal properties remain in strong demand, especially in Ocean Grove and Clifton Springs, while the inland suburbs of Mount Duneed, Armstrong Creek, and Lara continue to rise as family-friendly alternatives.
