Median prices for detached houses in The Grange estate reached $695,000 in the June quarter, according to the Real Estate Institute of Wyndham report released on 1 July 2026.

The figure sits below the $780,000 level recorded for the same stock in late 2025, yet demand has held steady as local buyers seek larger blocks with established gardens.

Properties along Homestead Way and near the Grange Community Hub on Black Forest Road have drawn most inspections this month. The nearby Black Forest Reserve offers direct access to walking trails that link to the Wyndham Vale Railway Station, cutting commute times for workers heading into the city centre.

Infrastructure upgrades support steady interest

The council completed widening works on Black Forest Road in April, adding dedicated bike lanes and new bus stops that serve the reserve and hub. Local agents report 42 contracts signed in The Grange since those works finished, compared with 31 in the same period last year.

CoreLogic figures for Wyndham Vale show the number of days on market for three-bedroom homes in The Grange averaged 26 days during May and June, down from 34 days twelve months earlier. Auction clearance rates for the postcode reached 68 percent in the latest monthly tally.

Buyers weigh timing ahead of spring listings

Three listings on Homestead Way are scheduled for open inspections this weekend, with asking prices starting at $645,000. Prospective purchasers can check recent sales data through the Wyndham Vale library branch on Derrimut Road before making offers. Early inspection of properties with north-facing backyards is advised ahead of the expected increase in vendor activity after the school holidays.
