Ashburton

FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.

FairSquare's model rates Ashburton, Victoria 7.0 out of 10 (Steady Buy) as of May 2026.

Ashburton offers strong capital growth potential, benefiting from its desirable inner-east Melbourne location just 10km from the CBD and consistently high tenant demand, evidenced by a 1.3% vacancy rate. The median price of $1954K reflects this strong demand, which, combined with low supply levels, contributed to 9.5% price growth over the past twelve months, despite a modest 2.6% gross yield. Depth of owner-occupier demand creates a reliable price floor through cycle downturns.
