While there are a number of owner-occupied properties in Geelong, real estate investing in Geelong has become increasingly popular.

In fact, Geelong offers more affordable housing, land, and property prices in contrast to Victoria’s capital, Melbourne, which is driving more and more people to Geelong.

With that said, if you want to grow or enhance your Geelong real estate portfolio, consider buying land or real estate in on-the-rise Greater Geelong suburbs such as:

• Barwon Heads
• Geelong
• Manifold Heights
• North Geelong
• Geelong West

Barwon Heads

Ready for a mind-blowing statistic?

The average price point for real estate in Barwon Heads has increased 812.6% in the last 25 years.

And because of its increased popularity from Melbourne families, Barwon Heads has become a hotspot for locals and tourists alike.

As a result, the median house price climbed up to $940,000 within the last couple of years and Barwon Heads is one of the most expensive places to live in Greater Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula.

Geelong

Geelong is the official suburb within this city. The Central Business District is located here and it's the cultural hub for the region. Some of the experiences offered here are:

• Restaurants
• Cafes
• Public art
• Landscaped gardens

Depending on where you come from, you might call the actual city of Geelong the Geelong Centre, Central Geelong, or Geelong CBD. But if you're a local, you’d just say you're headed into town.

So, what’s the average price of property here?

More recently, the average value was $735,000. Leading up to this price point, Geelong saw a constant 8.5% increase over the last 25 years.

At the same time, Geelong experienced a 20% increase in capital value alone.

Manifold Heights

Of all the suburbs on this list, Manifold Heights has achieved the steadiest and most consistent increase in value through the years.

In fact, the average price point for a home in Manifold Heights was $99,750 in 1993. Fast forward over 20 years and the price point is above $720,000.

Simply put, Manifold Heights experienced a dramatic increase in price. More specifically, an average climb of 8.1% each year.

But what makes Manifold Heights an even better choice for your real estate portfolio?

This suburb does not provide a high growth volatility rate that other surrounding suburbs do.

In fact, CoreLogic research shows that for the past 10 years, Manifold Heights has been the fastest-growing suburb in Geelong and has experienced a 17.3% capital growth during that time.

North Geelong

A few years ago, North Geelong saw a tremendous 23.6% increase in the value price of property, bumping the median price range for land and real estate up to $418,000.

The Geelong Golf Club offers investment opportunities to homebuyers with their high-end real estate properties.

And at the same time, due to the increased interest of North Geelong, older and more traditional homes are sought after as well.

“North Geelong used to be more of a working class suburb, but that is definitely changing because of the affordability aspect,” - Nathan Ashton of Gartland Property said.

"People are seeing really good value in buying, investing and in developing and renovating."

As a result, the average price of property keeps rising. In fact, the median price point for real estate in North Geelong is projected to be at $540,000 in a couple of years.

Geelong West is ranked in second place (behind Baron Heads) for Greater Geelong's highest performing suburb in the past 25 years.

It’s an essential area for both residential and commercial suburbs with constant growth (a yearly 9.4% increase) in the past 10 years.

And the fact that Geelong West offers real estate for $65,000 less than the city of Geelong, makes it extremely affordable for investors. Currently, landlords are able to charge $370 a week in rent.
