The Montmorency median house price is $1,150,000 for the April to June 2025 quarter, according to DataVic/REIV data. That figure represents a 1.0% fall quarter-on-quarter and a 1.3% fall year-on-year, placing Montmorency firmly in a period of price consolidation after the strong growth years that preceded it. If you are buying, selling, or investing in Montmorency, understanding what sits behind that headline number is essential for making a well-informed decision.

What Is the Montmorency Median House Price Right Now?

Based on DataVic/REIV figures for the April to June 2025 quarter, the key median sale prices for Montmorency are:

• Median house price: $1,150,000 (QoQ change: -1.0%; YoY change: -1.3%)
• Median unit price: $863,000 (QoQ change: +9.8%; YoY change: -1.4%)

The contrast between houses and units is notable. While the house median has eased modestly over the past year, the unit segment recorded a sharp 9.8% quarterly bounce, suggesting renewed buyer interest in the more affordable end of the Montmorency property market. This divergence is worth watching closely over the next one to two quarters to see whether it signals a genuine shift in demand or a short-term fluctuation driven by a small number of sales in a tightly held suburb.

For context, Montmorency sits within the Banyule local government area in Melbourne’s north-eastern suburbs, roughly 20 kilometres from the CBD. It is a leafy, family-oriented suburb with a strong community feel, excellent public school catchments, and easy access to the Hurstbridge rail line. These structural attributes tend to support price floors even in softer market conditions.

What Do the Suburb Demographics Say About Montmorency Property?

Numbers never exist in a vacuum. To understand why the median house prices in Montmorency sit where they do, it helps to look at who lives there and what they earn. According to ABS Census 2021 data, Montmorency records the following key demographic figures:

• Population: 9,250 residents
• Median age: 41.0 years
• Median household income: $2,076 per week
• Median rent: $420 per week

A median household income of $2,076 per week (roughly $108,000 per year) sits comfortably above the Melbourne metropolitan average, which the ABS Census 2021 placed at approximately $1,750 per week. This income premium helps explain why Montmorency has historically commanded a higher median price than many comparable outer-suburban locations. Buyers here tend to be owner-occupiers, often families upsizing or professionals seeking more space and greenery without sacrificing commute viability.

The median age of 41.0 years also points to an established, stable residential base rather than a high-turnover renter market. This demographic profile typically means lower stock levels (homeowners stay longer), which in turn supports price resilience even when the broader market softens.

The median rent of $420 per week is a useful benchmark for investors. With a median house price of $1.15M, gross rental yields on houses are relatively modest, which is consistent with what CoreLogic data shows across Melbourne’s leafy middle-ring suburbs. Investors buying in Montmorency are generally making a long-term capital growth bet rather than chasing yield.

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

Whether you are selling in Montmorency, buying in Montmorency, or assessing it as an investment in Montmorency, the following factors deserve close attention.

Stock Levels and Days on Market

SQM Research data consistently shows that Montmorency has below-average total listing volumes relative to surrounding suburbs. Low stock means that well-presented properties in desirable pockets (particularly those backing onto the Plenty River corridor or within the highly regarded Montmorency Secondary College zone) attract competitive bidding even in a softer market. Conversely, properties that need significant work or that are priced above the median without clear justification can sit for 60 or more days.

The Unit Opportunity

The 9.8% quarterly jump in the Montmorency unit median (to $863,000) is a data point worth examining carefully. If you are a first-home buyer or a downsizer, units and townhouses in Montmorency represent a more accessible entry point than the broader house market, and recent quarterly performance suggests some underlying demand momentum. That said, a single quarter’s movement in a tightly held unit market can be influenced by just a handful of transactions, so treat this figure as directional rather than definitive.

Comparable Suburbs

Buyers who find Montmorency slightly above budget sometimes consider neighbouring suburbs. Understanding how Montmorency compares with similar north-eastern suburbs is valuable context. For instance, the median house price in Ivanhoe reflects the premium attached to a closer-in position on the Hurstbridge line, while the median house price in Reservoir illustrates what a more urbanised, higher-density suburb commands at a lower price point.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Reserve Bank of Australia has moved through multiple rate cycles in recent years. At the $1.15M price point, even a 25 basis point shift in mortgage rates has a meaningful impact on monthly repayments and therefore on buyer borrowing capacity. The modest year-on-year price decline of 1.3% in Montmorency houses is broadly consistent with what the RBA’s rate tightening cycle has produced across Melbourne’s middle-ring market. Any easing cycle is likely to provide incremental support to values at this price level.

School Zones as a Price Driver

Montmorency’s public school catchment, including Montmorency Primary School and Montmorency Secondary College, consistently attracts family buyers who pay a tangible premium to secure a home within zone. Domain and CoreLogic research on school-zone premiums in Melbourne has repeatedly found that properties in high-demand government school catchments outperform the broader suburb median over five-to-ten-year periods, even controlling for property size and condition.
