Wodonga Market Update 2nd Half 2025

In Q2 2025,Wodonga* recorded a median house price of $625,000and a median vacant land price of $231,750.This represents anannual (Q2 2024– Q2 2025)median price growth of 9.6%for houses and 7.8%for vacantland. This confirms an ideal time for owners to capitalize on their investments. Comparing Q2 2024and Q22025, house sales increased by 3.6%(to 200 sales in Q2 2025), signalling ongoing buyer confidence and solid market demand. In contrast, land sales dropped significantly to only 32sales, signalling a clear undersupply land market. Combined, these market dynamics created a buffer against higher interest rates, thus continued price growth. With limited dwellings planned in 2025, competition is likely to intensify; thus, buyers must actfast.

A key commercial project is Wodonga Tafe Barnawartha North Education Centre Heavy Vehicle Technology Precinct, adding workshops and infrastructure services to the centre.

Key residential projects include:

• Yackandandah - Wodonga Road Residential Subdivision (42 Lots)

• 448A Boyes Road (5 Dwellings)

• 2Opal Court Units (5 Units)

• Junction Place Mixed-Use Station 73Precinct 4 (70townhouses)

Although there are several residential projects planned for 2025, the number of ready-to-sell stock is not enough to answer current demand; especially compared to Q22025sales numbers. Thus,an undersupply is likely, which will result in higher property prices.

AVERAGE VENDOR DISCOUNT*

Average vendor discount reflects the average percentage difference between the first list price and final sold price. A lower percentage difference (closer to 0.0%) suggests that buyers are willing to purchase close to the first asking price of a property.

Average vendor discounts between Q2 2024and Q2 2025 have tightened to -1.8% forhouses but widened to -4.3% for vacantland. Market conditions in Wodonga* still favour buyers, as sellers are willing to accept below the listed prices. However, the narrowing discount forhouses signals a potential market shift towards a seller’s market. As a result, buyers in the housing market need to actquickly.
