Coleraine: Victoria’s Hidden Gem Experiencing a Real Estate Boom
Tucked away among the rolling hills of Western Victoria, the charming town of Coleraine is quickly shedding its status as a quiet country secret. What was once a peaceful, tucked-away township is now one of the most sought-after property markets in the region, with homes selling in just a matter of days.
Southern Grampians Livestock & Real Estate is seeing this shift firsthand. Karla Northcott, one of our dedicated local agents, describes the market with growing excitement.
“It’s so exciting that people are choosing to move to Coleraine,” says Karla. “We are seeing inquiries from Melbourne, as well as interstate and even overseas. There is a huge demand—I just need a continual supply of houses!”
So, what’s behind the surge in popularity?
A Quiet Town with Country Charm
Coleraine offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern convenience. Known for its lush landscapes, scenic drives, and strong community feel, the town provides a slower pace of life that is increasingly attractive in today’s fast-paced world. It’s a place where neighbours know each other, nature is just outside your doorstep, and the stress of city life feels far away.
Yet Coleraine is still well-connected, offering easy access to larger regional hubs like Hamilton and Portland. This makes it an ideal base for families, retirees, and remote workers alike.
A Spike in Demand
The recent trend of people re-evaluating their lifestyle choices—especially post-COVID—has led many to seek out regional living. Coleraine, with its affordability, beauty, and community feel, ticks all the boxes.
“We’re finding that as soon as we list a residential property, it’s under offer within days,” Karla notes. “That kind of turnaround just wasn’t the norm a few years ago.”
A Call for Sellers
With demand far outweighing supply, Southern Grampians Livestock & Real Estate is encouraging anyone considering selling in the Coleraine area to reach out.
Whether you own a family home, investment property, or rural holding, now is an excellent time to take advantage of a strong seller’s market.
“We have serious buyers ready to move, we just need more properties,” says Karla. “If you’ve been thinking about selling—this is the moment.”
