12-month growth outlook for Ballarat suburbs
PropRadar estimates where each suburb's median house and unit price is heading over the next 12 months. These tables show the Ballarat suburbs with the strongest and the weakest outlook, and where each one ranks among all suburbs in its state. The estimate is most reliable at comparing suburbs with each other, which is why the ranking leads. Only suburbs with at least 10 sales of that dwelling type in the past year are listed.
An outlook is a model estimate, not a guarantee. Prices can move against it.

How to read this
- Rising and Easing mean the estimate points clearly up or down over the next 12 months. Anything within 1% either way is shown as Flat, because a change that small is inside the estimate's margin.
- The rank compares a suburb with every suburb in its own state that has an outlook, from among the strongest (top fifth) to among the weakest (bottom fifth). The ranking is the most reliable part of the estimate.
- Only suburbs with at least 10 sales of that dwelling type in the past 12 months, at least 1,000 residents and a well-supported median price are listed. Where several suburbs share one postcode's figures, only the largest is shown.
- The outlook is re-estimated as new suburb market data arrives, at most about once a fortnight. It describes a suburb's median, not any one property.

Each suburb is then ranked against every other suburb in Victoria, from among the strongest to among the weakest. Ranking suburbs against each other is the part of the estimate that has held up best in testing.
Is the growth outlook a guarantee?
No. It is a model estimate based on past patterns, and markets can move against it because of interest rates, local supply, policy or events no model sees. Use it to compare suburbs and decide where to look closer, not as a prediction of what any one property will be worth. General information only, not personal advice.
How often does the outlook change?
It is re-estimated as new suburb market data arrives, which happens at most about once a fortnight.
General information only, not personal financial advice. A model estimate of suburb medians, not a valuation or a guarantee of future prices.
