Thinking Long-Term? Here’s Why Victoria Tops the List for Property Investment in 2025

Victoria has long been known for its rich culture, coffee, and coastlines.

In 2025, it’s not just lifestyle buyers who are interested in Victoria; property investors from all over Australia are also looking to the state for a simple reason: consistent, long-term value.

With affordability remaining intact, key infrastructure upgrades on the horizon, and strong population growth forecasts, Victoria is poised to become the country’s next major investment destination.

Population Growth is Fueling Demand

Melbourne is projected to hit a population of 6.4 million by 2035, growing at a rate of 1.5% annually, according to the Centre of Population’s 2024 report. This expansion isn’t just a statistic—it’s a signal. More people mean more demand for homes, services, and transport. That’s why investors are now actively exploring outer-metro and regional growth corridors before prices catch up.

Growth is Fueling Demand

Melbourne is projected to reach a population of 6.4 million by 2035, growing at an annual rate of 1.5%, according to the Centre of Population’s 2024 report. This expansion is not merely a statistic—it’s a significant indicator. More people means increased demand for housing, services, and transportation. As a result, investors are actively exploring outer metropolitan and regional growth corridors.

Affordability That Still Leaves Room to Move

With Sydney and Brisbane pushing many buyers out of reach, Melbourne remains Australia’s third-most affordable capital city. As of January 2025, the median home price in Melbourne is $779,000, making it an appealing entry point for investors.

Compared to NSW, land in Victoria still offers a substantial upside with less initial capital outlay. This opens the door to younger investors, regional buyers, and land banking strategies.

Key Hotspots: Beveridge and Sunbury

Some of the most watched postcodes this year include Beveridge and Sunbury. Here’s why:

• Beveridge: Projected to grow by 16.2% in population by 2034. The town recorded a 0.9% increase in house prices last year and attracted 1,262 interested buyers in February 2025 alone. With the Beveridge Future Train Station in planning and new estates like Alkyra, the suburb is on investors radars.
• Sunbury: Enjoyed 0.8% price growth in 2024 and over 5,692 buyer inquiries. Located near key infrastructure projects like the Sunbury Line and Road Upgrades, its appeal to families and first-home buyers continues to grow.

Both locations offer a blend of affordability, access to transport, and large-scale development potential ideal for acreage or boutique subdivisions.

Infrastructure Development is Changing the Map

Victoria’s pipeline of significant infrastructure investments separates it from other markets in 2025. The Beveridge Train Station, regional road expansions, and improved freight networks mean land previously “too far out” is now increasingly connected.

Infrastructure always precedes capital growth. When transport access improves, so does lifestyle, accessibility, and price potential.

Strong Rental Demand = Solid Yields

Victoria’s rental market has become tighter over the past year, with demand outpacing supply in many growth corridors, for investors, that translates into lower vacancy rates and strong rental yields.

Suburbs like Sunbury, Wallan, and Wyndham Vale continue outperforming expectations, offering stable returns and a growing tenant base.

What Investors Are Saying

More investors are now choosing Victoria for the numbers and because of turnkey opportunities, better planning transparency, and the potential for dual-income lots. With proper zoning and strategic positioning, it’s possible to generate capital gains and yield simultaneously.
