A fresh confidence has rolled into 2025, breathing new life into the Berwick property market and sparking increased activity from buyers, investors, and upsizers across the board. After a period of adjustment over the past 12 months, Berwick has once again proven why it remains one of Melbourne’s most desirable southeast suburbs.

With its perfect mix of established neighbourhoods, quality schools, parks, and lifestyle convenience, Berwick continues to perform strongly. As of June 2025, the median house price in Berwick sits at approximately $880,000, while units are averaging around $682,500, both reflecting steady year-on-year growth (openagent.com.au).

The Barry Plant Berwick team has seen strong buyer turnout at open homes, particularly for family homes located near schools like Haileybury, St Margaret’s, and Berwick Secondary College, as well as properties offering larger blocks, outdoor entertaining, and modern renovations.

The Reserve Bank of Australia’s recent move to trim interest rates by 0.25% (down to 3.85%) has reignited buyer confidence and created favourable borrowing conditions for many. First-home buyers, families upsizing, and investors are once again active, with brokers reporting an increase in finance pre-approvals and stronger competition at auctions (couriermail.com.au).

Locally, we’re seeing strong demand for:

• Modern family homes with flexible floorplans
• Properties offering outdoor entertaining and pool areas
• Quality townhouses and downsizer-friendly homes
• Larger blocks in leafy, established streets

Sellers who are well-prepared and pricing strategically are seeing solid enquiries and fast sale turnarounds.

Berwick’s rental market continues to deliver strong results, with house rents climbing by 9.1% and units by 11.1% over the past year (openagent.com.au). Demand remains high for quality rentals, with tenants drawn to Berwick’s schools, transport access and thriving café and retail precincts.
