Victoria’s top affordable markets with prospects revealed

What to consider before buying a property in post-COVID rush

192 Best Street, Sea Lake

Asking price: $59,950

192 Best Street, Sea Lake, is on the market for just $59,950.

Despite the not-so-polished aesthetic, this house is expected to fly off the market.

Sure this two-bedroom weatherboard’s styling could be improved — or at the very least, the beds could have been made.

But budget buyers who can look past the not-so-polished aesthetic will surely find value in this property, which offers a quarter-acre block (about 1000sq m) just south of Lake Tyrrell in Victoria’s northwest.

Burns & Co Mildura marketing for the property warns it is “sure to sell quickly”, noting: “it needs a little TLC, but it represents excellent value at this competitive price”.

Realestate.com.au data shows Sea Lake has a $105,000 median house price.

6 Leahy Street, Nhill

Asking price: $85,000

6 Leahy Street, Nhill, is a real charmer.

An attractive facade, a spa bath and a big backyard are all part of the affordable package that is this Nhill property in the state’s far west.

Harcourts Horsham is marketing the abode as “your next renovation project”, highlighting ornate features including pressed-tin ceilings and timber floors as ready to be brought back to their former glory.

The property also offers four bedrooms, two living spaces, a central bathroom with a spa and a kitchen flagged as requiring “the most work”.

It’s set on 805sq m of land and priced below Nhill’s $158,500 house median.

5 Malkin Avenue, Underbool

Asking price: $89,500

This converted post office at 5 Malkin Avenue, Underbool, gets our stamp of approval.

You could move straight into 5 Malkin Avenue — unless green offends you.

The former Underbool Post Office is a retro delight, complete with a pastel-coloured facade and walls.

The tidy home offers open-plan living, four bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and a 812sq m landholding also featuring a shed, a water tank and rear-lane access.

NorthWest Real Estate is marketing the 1950s-built property as offering “the country life”.

It’s flanked by parks, close to the town pool, and about an hour and a half’s drive to Mildura.

13 Vincent Street, Ararat

Asking price: $150,000

13 Vincent Street, Ararat, needs some work. But its $150,000 asking price makes it good value.

The Ararat house has all the makings of a period gem.

Seeking a reno project but don’t have a heap to spend?

Look no further than this central Ararat period home, which has seen better days but has still held on to some charm.

Leadlight windows, decorative arches, soaring ceilings and pine floors are all there, if you can look past the peeling paint, cracks, cobwebs and overgrown garden.

The 670sq m block of land has both front and rear access, and is close to the southwest Victorian city’s schools precinct and two supermarkets.

It’s a real bargain when you consider Ararat’s $250,000 median house price.

3 Sunraysia Highway, Lascelles

Asking price: $165,000

3 Sunraysia Highway, Lascelles, is a true country residence.

The Lascelles property comes with an art gallery.

The Australiana vibe extends into the kitchen.

A fair dinkum Aussie art gallery is part of the package at this charming country retreat in the state’s northwest.

Sculptures of Ned Kelly and native birds, and a “shipping container converted into a gallery” join a three-bedroom house on the sprawling 2024sq m property, the Peter Funcke Real Estate listing shows.

The listing describes the gallery as an established tourist attraction, meaning the buyer could run their “own little business” from the property.

It’s close to other tourism sites as well, including the Tyrell, Lascelles and Green lakes.
