Median house prices in Albert Park, VIC 3206 now sit between $2.23 million and $2.47 million, up 2.9 percent to 7.6 percent over the past year.

The figures come at a time when supply remains limited and buyer interest stays high for established properties. Sellers who list now face shorter marketing periods than in softer periods, while landlords capture the lift in weekly rents that has already occurred.

Fast turnover favors current owners

Houses are moving in a median of 28 to 53 days, with auction clearance rates between 59 percent and 81.2 percent. These outcomes are recorded at venues such as The Albert at Gate 1 on the Grand Prix circuit, where local agents and buyers regularly meet during networking events hosted by the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Landlords have seen house rents climb 7.0 percent to 8.3 percent to a median of $975 to $995 a week. Unit rents have risen even more sharply, reaching $630 to $645 a week after a 22.9 percent increase. Properties at 220 Albert Road, site of the Melbourne Festival Market, and at Pullman Melbourne Albert Park, which hosts conferences including the B2B eCommerce World Asia Pacific 2025, sit inside the same postcode and benefit from the same rental pressure.

Separate market across state lines

Albert Park, SA 5014 shows different numbers, with a median house price near $958,000 and annual growth of 12.0 percent as of June 2026. Investors comparing the two locations must treat the Victorian postcode as its own market rather than assume parallel conditions.

Buyers and owners who track clearance rates and days-on-market data from sources such as melbz.com.au and yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au can time listings or purchases while demand stays firm. Those already holding stock in Albert Park, VIC 3206 are positioned to realise the current price band and rental levels without waiting for further supply to appear.
