One of the Greater Shepparton’s premier estates,

Residential Property Values in the Goulburn & Murray Valleys

THE residential property market throughout the Goulburn Valley has remained relatively subdued over the past two years since the peak in late 2023 following the COVID boom period. However, we are now beginning to see some signs of improved sentiment, flowing through to positive price impacts.

Reduced consumer confidence prevailed through 2024, largely due to economic factors such as interest rate hikes, cost of living increases, and global economic volatility. Some markets in the Goulburn Valley saw a reduction in median house prices, such as Kyabram (-3.6 per cent), Echuca (-13.9 per cent), Seymour (-9.1 per cent) and Yarrawonga (-7.3 per cent). However, Shepparton (3.4 per cent) and Benalla (1.3 per cent) showed increases over this period. Despite these broader headwinds, we have seen an increase in the number of houses sold since early 2024 right across the Goulburn Valley, as well as reduced selling periods – signs of gently increasing demand in the residential housing market. We expect that this will continue going forward, underpinning a gradual recovery across the region, supporting residential asset values more broadly.

Rental demand has remained very high, with all localities indicating an increase in median rents, with value-based yields generally indicating rates of return between 4.5 per cent to 5.5 per cent. The strong rental demand and positive yields have resulted in a rise in investor activity, with further increased demand across the entry to mid-level housing segments in particular.

Residential construction supply chain disruption and trades shortages have resulted in higher building costs; therefore, an ongoing reduction in the number of new homes being built in the area has occurred. As a result, reductions of residential vacant land sales, along with values, have continued from late 2023, through 2024, with further reductions over

the past twelve months. However, we are detecting some early signs that demand does appear to now be gently increasing.

So far in 2025, one interest rate cut has been made, which drove a small spike in demand, however this was not significant enough to really impact market values. Some economists are predicting further rate cuts in mid to late 2025, on the proviso that inflation remains at acceptable levels. Further cuts will add to the pace of the recovery.

When combined with increased certainty post federal election, predicted multiple interest rate cuts, and providing inflation and cost of living pressures can be kept in check, it could be expected that an increase in consumer confidence and demand should result in a strengthening of values across residential markets in the Goulburn Valley for the rest of 2025 and into 2026.

MARKET ANALYSIS... Chris Crouch from Opteon Property Valuers provides an update on the local residential market, noting early signs of improved sentiment. He anticipates continued strengthening conditions through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.

The informed investment for a brighter future

IN a world where energy costs continue to climb and environmental responsibility becomes ever more vital, solar power emerges as a singular solution - simple, smart and sustainable. For homeowners, it offers immediate savings on electricity, enhances property value and may qualify for generous government incentives, making it not just a wise investment, but a forward-thinking choice for a brighter future.

But while the advantages are clear, the decision to install solar panels isn’t a small one. Choosing the right system to suit your home and budget requires trusted guidance.

That’s where Dave D’Elia, Shepparton Hot and Cold Shop’s regional solar expert, comes in. Adept, pro cient, and experienced, Dave and his team of certi ed Solahart installers are committed to helping customers make con dent, informed choices. As installers of one of the world’s most respected solar brands, they’re ready to help you navigate the switch to solar with ease. Keen to convey the signi cant gains investors are set to make by transitioning to solar, Dave took the time to answer some of the most common questions.

When will I start seeing savings from solar panels?

One of the most appealing aspects of solar power is how quickly it can start saving you money. According to Dave, the savings begin the moment your panels are installed.

“Solar panels generate electricity as soon as they’re operational. Depending on your billing cycle, you could start seeing a reduction in your electricity costs as soon as your next bill. The sooner you switch to solar, the quicker you’ll begin to save.”

How do I choose the right installer?

With so many solar installers out there, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Dave recommends doing some research to ensure you’re working with a reputable company. Below are a few key things to look for:

Experience: Longevity in the industry matters. Solahart has been around for over 70 years, having pioneered solar solutions in Australia, and has a strong track record of quality and reliability.

Warranties and ongoing support: Dave emphasises the importance of knowing what kind of warranty is offered. “With Solahart, not only do we provide warranties for our products, but you’ll also have ongoing support through our extensive network, even if your local

installer is no longer in business.”

Product testing and development: Ensure the company tests and develops their systems rigorously. Solahart products undergo comprehensive quality checks to ensure they meet high performance standards, both locally and internationally.

Consultation process: A trustworthy installer should take the time to thoroughly explain your options. “We offer detailed consultations where we discuss your energy needs, expected savings, and help you choose the right system for your home,” Dave said.

What if I can’t afford the upfront cost?

Many homeowners are hesitant to switch to solar because of the initial costs. However, Dave reassures that there are exible, interest-free payment options available that make solar more accessible.

“Solahart offers payment plans of up to 72 months. This means you can start saving on your electricity bills immediately and use those savings to pay off your system. With no upfront cost, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.”

To nd out more and to receive expert advice about deciding your solar energy future, contact the Hot and Cold Shop at Goulburn Valley Highway or call, 03 58231955.
