The honest read

What I'd tell you over a coffee

8.41% a year for ten years. Nothing else on this list comes close, and the five year number is better again at 8.66%.

A typical Truganina house is $760,702 today. That is the whole argument for Melbourne's west in one line.

1,367 house sales a year across about 21,725 dwellings. This is one of the most heavily traded suburbs in the state, because most of it has been built in the last fifteen years and people move through it.

Now the part the growth number does not tell you. Vacancy is 2.83%, the softest on this list by a clear margin. There is always another new house to rent in Truganina, and your tenant knows it.

The yield reads 3.40% and rent has grown 3.92% a year over the decade, which is the weakest rent growth of any of the strong growth suburbs here. The capital has done the work. The rent has not.

Wyndham reads at peak on the Momentum Dial as at July 2026.

Who Truganina suits

Investors and first home buyers who want growth and can live with a softer rental market. If you buy here the property has to be genuinely better than the new build down the road, because you are competing with it for every tenant.

What I'd watch

The supply. This is a growth corridor and the land keeps coming. Ten years at 8.41% happened while Truganina was filling up, and that process does not run forever.

How the process runs

Fair questions

Buying in Truganina, answered

Is Truganina still worth buying?

The growth number says it has been the best performer on this list for a decade and it is still $760,702. The vacancy rate says be careful which property. Both are true. I would buy here for the right client with the stock selection done properly.

Why is the vacancy rate so high?

2.83% is high because supply keeps arriving. Truganina is a growth corridor, there is always a new estate releasing, and tenants have options. That is the cost of buying somewhere that is still being built.

Houses or units?

Houses, comfortably. 8.41% a year against 4.28% for units, and the unit market is tiny at 63 sales a year. Truganina is a house and land suburb and the data reflects that.
