The Coburg property market
Coburg combines generous interwar and post-war homes with a growing townhouse and apartment market around Sydney Road, Coburg station and the Merri Creek corridor. Larger land sizes than neighbouring Brunswick make it popular with families and renovators, and equity release for renovation work is one of the most common enquiries we handle here. Valuations on established homes are typically straightforward; newer infill developments can be more variable.
