What I’m seeing in Torquay

Homes within walking distance of the front beach still sell fastest. Inland estates take longer and need sharper pricing.

Many buyers are Melbourne families moving down. Flexible settlement dates win deals here.

Presentation matters more than in most markets: buyers are buying a lifestyle, so light, outdoor space and storage for boards and bikes all count.
