Winter Valley market and investor summary
In Winter Valley, VIC 3358, the median house sells for around $620K. House prices have moved +10.7% over the past year and +3.4% over three years. At 8.1% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
Demand is softer at 8.1% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 67 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
