Find the top real estate agents in Colac

Colac is the area's defining service centre, anchored by Lake Colac and a compact town centre of shops, schools and health services. The housing mix runs from character weatherboard and brick homes close to the centre, and established suburban pockets in Elliminyt and Weering, to larger rural lots around Barongarook West, Irrewarra and Winchelsea. That variety draws buyers from local families and tradespeople to retirees and lifestyle seekers. Median prices have edged up gently, up 6.7% on the year to $555,000, the highest level in five years, and the median has matched the prior peak set in December 2025.

Recent months have seen a steady lift in interest from tree-changers and downsizers seeking regional lifestyle with practical access. The town's health, education and sporting facilities have received substantial upgrades that support family demand.
