The Scoresby median house price reached $1,000,000 in the April to June 2025 quarter, according to DataVic and REIV data compiled via the Collings CRM brain. That represents a quarter-on-quarter rise of 3.6% and a year-on-year increase of 7.5%, placing Scoresby among the steadily appreciating suburbs in Melbourne’s south-eastern corridor. Whether you are buying, selling, or investing in Scoresby, these numbers form the essential starting point for any property decision.

What Is the Scoresby Median House Price Right Now?

Based on DataVic and REIV data (via the Collings CRM brain), the headline figures for the April to June 2025 quarter are:

• Median house price: $1,000,000 (QoQ +3.6%, YoY +7.5%)
• Median unit price: $1,090,000 (QoQ +44.3%, YoY +34.4%)

The house figure crossing the seven-figure threshold is a significant psychological and market milestone for Scoresby. It reflects sustained buyer demand in a suburb that offers relatively generous land sizes, established streetscapes, and strong proximity to major arterials including Stud Road and the Eastlink freeway.

The unit result is particularly striking. A quarterly jump of 44.3% and annual growth of 34.4% suggests either a shift in the composition of units sold (toward larger, higher-value stock) or genuine price pressure driven by buyer competition in that segment. Either way, it signals that attached dwellings in Scoresby are no longer a discount option relative to houses.

How Does Scoresby Compare to Other Melbourne Suburbs?

Context matters when reading suburb-level medians. For buyers and investors benchmarking across Melbourne, it is worth comparing Scoresby against suburbs at different price points. For example, the median house price in Reservoir sits in a different growth corridor entirely, while inner-northern suburbs like Northcote’s median house price reflects the premium attached to proximity to the CBD. Scoresby’s $1M median positions it as a genuine mid-to-upper market suburb in the outer-east, offering more land per dollar than most inner-ring alternatives.

What Do the Demographic Numbers Say About Scoresby Property?

Price figures tell one story. The people living in a suburb tell another. ABS Census 2021 data (via the Collings CRM brain) paints a clear picture of the Scoresby community:

• Population: 6,066 residents
• Median age: 40.0 years
• Median household income: $1,965 per week
• Median rent: $406 per week

A median household income of $1,965 per week (approximately $102,180 annually) speaks to the financial capacity of owner-occupiers in the area. At a $1M median house price, a household on that income is operating at a price-to-income ratio of roughly 9.8x, which is broadly consistent with Melbourne’s wider affordability challenge but also confirms that buyers entering Scoresby are typically dual-income or equity-rich upsizers rather than first-home buyers.

The median age of 40 aligns with a suburb dominated by established families, many of whom purchased in earlier cycles and have accumulated significant equity. This demographic tends to be selective vendors, which can limit listing volumes and support prices even in softer market conditions.

The median rent of $406 per week is a useful figure for investors. Against a $1M purchase price (and assuming a standard investment loan structure), the gross rental yield implied by that rent is approximately 2.1%. That is a low yield on paper, which means investors in Scoresby are typically buying for capital growth rather than income. The 7.5% annual house price growth recorded in the most recent data supports that thesis.

What Are the Key Considerations When Buying or Selling in Scoresby?

For Buyers

Buying in Scoresby in 2026 means entering a market that has cleared the $1M threshold. Buyers should factor in:

1. Stock levels: Scoresby’s population of just over 6,000 means the suburb is not a high-turnover market. When quality homes are listed, competition can be intense.
2. Land size premium: Homes on larger blocks (above 650sqm) consistently attract premiums above the median. Buyers targeting future development potential should scrutinise zoning carefully under the Knox City Council planning scheme.
3. School catchments: Scoresby Secondary College and nearby primary schools are key drawcards for family buyers, and catchment boundaries directly influence which streets attract the strongest offers.
4. Infrastructure access: Direct Eastlink access makes Scoresby a genuine commuter suburb. This connectivity underpins long-term demand from professionals working across Melbourne’s east and south-east.

For Sellers

Selling in Scoresby with a $1M median as your baseline is a strong position. A 3.6% quarterly gain suggests the market moved meaningfully in the most recent period, which means vendors who have held for several years are sitting on substantial equity. Timing the sale cycle to avoid the traditional winter slowdown (July to August) and targeting the spring campaign window (September to November) typically yields stronger buyer competition and auction clearance results in established suburbs like Scoresby.

For Investors

Investing in Scoresby is primarily a capital growth play, as the implied gross yield of around 2.1% (based on a $406 per week median rent against the $1M median price) is modest. However, the 7.5% annual house price growth recorded in the most recent data, combined with the suburb’s demographic stability and low vacancy rates typical of outer-eastern Melbourne, makes a compelling long-term case. Investors who purchased at or below the previous median cycle have already seen strong paper gains.

For those comparing yield profiles across Melbourne suburbs, it is worth reviewing how outer-northern suburbs like Preston’s median house price compares, as different corridors offer different risk-return trade-offs depending on your investment horizon.
