Canadian suburb profile

Canadian, in eastern Ballarat, is an established suburb of mainly domestic streets where character homes sit alongside mid-century brick houses and some more recent infill, creating a varied but cohesive streetscape. The area has a neighbourhood feel, anchored by local shops, schools, parks and sporting reserves that suit families and people settling long term, and the streets are quieter than busier retail precincts. Residents enjoy easy access to Ballarat’s CBD and transport connections for work and services, while still benefiting from nearby green space and everyday community facilities.

Canadian property market performance

Current median dwelling price$517,500Past 3 months

Property growth+17.0%Past 12 months

Canadian has relatively few recent unit sales, so there isn't enough data to publish a reliable median unit price. The median house price is $605,000, with house values rising sharply, up 15.3% over the last 12 months. Unit values also rose sharply, up 18.8% over the same period, so unit values grew more strongly than house values.

Over the last 3 months there were 21 house sales and 9 unit sales. Houses sold in a median of 19 days over the last 12 months, while units sold in a median of 27 days, so houses sold more quickly than units.

The rental market in Canadian shows house rents averaging $420 a week, up a modest 2.4% over the last 12 months. Unit rents average $380 a week, up a slight 1.3% over the last 12 months, so rental growth moved at a similar pace for both property types.
