Find the top real estate agents in Central Goldfields

Central Goldfields, also known as the Goldfields, is a patchwork of goldrush-era towns and broad farming country, with Maryborough serving as the area's major service centre and Talbot acting as the heritage village that helps set local character. Avoca offers a riverfront and a small vineyard fringe that draws people looking for a weekend lifestyle change, while Dunolly and Timor keep the quieter rural feel many local families value. Median prices have been broadly flat, up 1.7% on the year to $427,000.

Homes are selling in a median of 69 days, much the same pace as a year ago. There has been an emerging uptick in interest from buyers seeking second homes and tree-changes, supported by incremental road upgrades and better regional broadband that make short drives to the city more viable. Small but growing tourism around Moonambel and the Avoca river corridor is also lifting demand for short-stay-friendly homes. Transaction activity has been well up, up 20.2% on the year.
