The northern growth belt has been outpacing the wider city, with Craigieburn and surrounds posting some of Melbourne's strongest price growth into 2026 while still offering entry points well under the city median. Closer in, Preston and Reservoir carry established-suburb prices with strong upgrader demand.
Values are approximate market figures as at mid 2026 and move constantly. What matters is the lending strategy behind your specific purchase.
First home buyers and young families across the Craigieburn, Mickleham and Wollert corridor, builders taking on house-and-land, and upgraders in the established inner north. Our own office is in Mickleham, so this is literally home ground.
Everything a bank branch does, across 50+ lenders instead of one, and we handle the paperwork through to settlement:
Home loans · Refinancing & equity release · Investment property loans · SMSF lending · Business loans · Asset finance · Free calculators
The first conversation is free, there is no charge for our broking service in most cases, and there is no obligation. Thirty minutes to find out where you stand.
