Victoria experienced a sharp increase in demand for top-end rural properties for sale in 2021, with the number of property transactions priced above $20,000/ha almost tripling from 108 to 294 in the period, according to the just-released Australian Farmland Values 2022 report.

This trend was a key factor in fuelling a 30.4 per cent jump in the median value of Victorian farmland to a record high of $10,583/ha last year, the report found.

Growth in transaction volume of properties above $20,000/ha was strongest in the south-west region, including Ballarat, Colac-Ottway, Corangamite, Macedon Ranges, Macedon Ranges, the Grampians, and the Surf Coast.
