The Airport West median house price is $915,000, based on sales recorded in the April to June 2025 quarter, according to DataVic and the REIV (via Collings’ CRM data). That figure represents a 7.0% fall quarter-on-quarter and a 6.2% decline year-on-year, making it an important moment for buyers, sellers and investors to understand exactly what is driving the market and where the suburb is headed in 2026.

What Is the Median House Price in Airport West Right Now?

To put a precise number on it: DataVic and REIV data (via Collings’ CRM brain) records the Airport West median house price at $915,000 for the April to June 2025 quarter. This is the most current verified figure available as of mid-2026 and serves as the baseline for anyone buying, selling or investing in Airport West property.

The quarterly movement of -7.0% signals that buyer competition softened noticeably coming out of the March 2025 quarter, while the annual movement of -6.2% confirms that price pressure has been easing over a longer horizon. For context, many inner-north Melbourne suburbs tracked a similar pattern during the same period. Our guides to median house price in Northcote and median house price in Preston show comparable softening trends across the northern corridor.

How Does Airport West Compare to Nearby Suburbs?

• Airport West: $915,000 median house price (Apr-Jun 2025, DataVic/REIV)
• Inner-north Melbourne suburbs broadly recorded medians in the $850,000 to $1.1M range across the same period
• Airport West sits in the mid-tier of Melbourne’s northern-western arc, offering relative affordability compared to bayside and inner-east benchmarks

For buyers, that relative affordability is a core part of Airport West’s appeal. For vendors, understanding that the market has repriced from its 2023-2024 peaks is essential before listing.

What Do the Numbers Say About Airport West’s Property Market?

Numbers tell the story better than commentary. Here is what the verified data reveals about Airport West as a suburb:

Demographics and Income (ABS Census 2021)

• Population: 8,173 residents
• Median age: 39.0 years
• Median household income: $1,761 per week
• Median rent: $401 per week

According to ABS Census 2021 data (via Collings’ CRM brain), Airport West has a median household income of $1,761 per week, which sits meaningfully above Melbourne’s broader suburban average. A median age of 39 suggests an established, working-age community rather than a transient renter-dominated suburb, and the $401 per week median rent figure indicates a functioning rental market without the extreme rental stress seen in tighter inner-city pockets.

Price Trend Summary

• Median house price (Apr-Jun 2025): $915,000
• Quarter-on-quarter change: -7.0%
• Year-on-year change: -6.2%
• Source: DataVic / REIV via Collings CRM brain

A -6.2% annual movement is not a market collapse. It reflects a broader recalibration across Melbourne’s middle-ring suburbs following the interest rate cycle that peaked in 2023-2024. As the RBA shifted its stance through late 2024 and into 2025, buyer confidence began to return in patches, though volume and price growth remained uneven across different property types and price bands.

What Are the Key Considerations for Buying or Investing in Airport West?

Whether you are buying a home, selling an existing property, or evaluating Airport West as an investment, several factors shape the risk and opportunity profile of this suburb.

Infrastructure and Connectivity

Airport West benefits from direct proximity to Melbourne Airport, the Western Ring Road and the Tullamarine Freeway, making it one of the most accessible middle-ring suburbs in Melbourne’s north-west. Employment catchments extend to the CBD (approximately 13 km), Essendon Fields, and the broader western industrial and logistics corridor. Infrastructure accessibility consistently underpins long-run demand for housing in the suburb, particularly from owner-occupiers who prioritise commute times.

Nationally, infrastructure investment is proving to be a key price-support mechanism. According to Herron Todd White’s March 2026 Month in Review, major transport and infrastructure projects have consistently sustained investor interest in suburbs with strong connectivity, particularly where relative affordability remains intact. Airport West fits that profile well within the Melbourne context.

Investor Considerations

With a median rent of $401 per week (ABS Census 2021, via Collings CRM brain) and a median house price of $915,000, the gross yield on Airport West houses is approximately 2.3% at current figures. That is a modest yield on paper, but it is consistent with middle-ring Melbourne houses where capital growth has historically been the primary driver of total returns. Investors should model conservatively and factor in the current price correction when assessing entry points.

Herron Todd White’s March 2026 review also noted that nationally, investor lending grew substantially from below 30% of new lending in mid-2020 to 46.2% by September 2025, the highest share in nearly a decade. This shift reflects growing investor confidence across well-connected suburbs with demonstrated rental demand, a profile that Airport West shares with suburbs like Coburg, where similar dynamics are at play.

Selling in Airport West

If you are selling Airport West property in 2026, the current median of $915,000 should not be read as a ceiling. Properties with quality presentation, updated kitchens and bathrooms, and good street appeal continue to achieve results above the median. The median is a midpoint, not a cap. Understanding where your specific property sits relative to recent comparable sales is the most important step before going to market.

Buying in Airport West

For buyers, a -7.0% quarterly shift creates negotiating room that did not exist 18 months ago. Buyers with pre-approved finance and a clear brief are in a stronger position today than at any point since early 2023. First homebuyers in particular should note that scheme thresholds and stamp duty concessions apply to a meaningful share of properties in this price range. Your conveyancer or mortgage broker can confirm your eligibility based on current Victorian Government settings.
