Buyers agent, Victoria
69% of Victorian housing markets are at or past their fastest growth.
That is every council in the state with a reading, 78 of them, as at July 2026. Only 20 are still accelerating. If you are buying in Victoria this year, which side of that split you land on matters more than almost anything else you will decide.
The state, honestly
Victoria is not one market, and it is not having one year.
Of the 78 Victorian council house markets with a reading, 54 are at or past peak, 20 are still rising, and 3 are recovering, which means their decline is easing rather than that prices are climbing.
That spread is the argument for doing the work. A state average tells you almost nothing when the councils inside it are in four different parts of the cycle at once.

Melbourne specifically
Inside Melbourne, the gap between suburbs is bigger than the gap between states.
There are written pages on 36 Melbourne suburbs with ten years of price, rent and vacancy on each. Truganina sits at the top on +8.4% a year. Five of them have gone backwards over the same decade, and every one of those costs more than a million dollars.
Victoria questions
What people ask before the first call.
Do you buy across all of Victoria?
Yes, and beyond it. Every search starts with all 15,000 suburbs in the country and narrows to the handful that fit your brief. Plenty of Victorian clients buy in Victoria. Plenty end up in Queensland or regional New South Wales because that is where their numbers stacked up, and I am not going to keep a search inside a state line to make my life easier.
Are you a regional Victoria buyer’s agent or a Melbourne one?
Both, and neither exclusively. I live in regional Victoria and I buy all over the country. Where I live has nothing to do with where you should buy, which is the entire reason this page lists every council in the state rather than the handful near me.
Is regional Victoria still worth buying in?
Some of it, on the cycle data. 20 of the 78 Victorian house markets with a reading are still rising as at July 2026, and 54 are at or past their fastest growth. That is a state level view and it is a starting point, not a shortlist. The written report for a council is where the actual argument gets made.
What does it cost?
A flat $20,000 including GST, the same in Mildura as in Melbourne. It splits $5,500 when you sign on and $14,500 when your purchase goes unconditional. The pricing page has all of it in writing.
What does "at or past peak" actually mean?
It is about the momentum of growth, not the price. Peak means a market is growing at its fastest rate right now, not that it is about to fall. Plenty of markets sit at Peak for a year or more. The Momentum Dial explains all seven phases properly.
