The regional areas of Victoria haven’t seen as strong a growth trend as
what has been evident in Melbourne; however, values are still broadly
rising, albeit at a more moderate pace. Coastal markets appear to be
attracting more buyer demand, with more people looking for holiday
homes and retirement options as wealth levels continue to recover after
the global financial crisis.
