Find the top real estate agents in Bacchus Marsh

Bacchus Marsh is a classic peri-urban market town with a defining heritage centre and a long-running horticulture hinterland.

Median prices have edged up gently, up 4.8% on the year to $650,000, the highest level in three years, and the median sits just off the cycle high reached in December 2022.

Recent demand is shaped by the Western Freeway as a major commuter route and the rail connection at Bacchus Marsh station, keeping the area connected to the city for weekday commuters.
