Yarraville sits just north of the West Gate Bridge and Freeway, with the Maribyrnong and Yarra Rivers meeting on its eastern edge. The village centre on Anderson and Ballarat Streets is built around refurbished 19th century shopfronts, the art deco Sun Theatre and Yarraville station, where Williamstown line and Laverton-bound Werribee line trains stop. Housing is largely Victorian and Edwardian, with plenty of single and double-fronted weatherboards, and parks include Yarraville Gardens and Stony Creek Reserve.
For a house, budget around the $1.3 million median, in a market where 74.5% of auctions cleared (REIV, March quarter 2026). As a buyers agent in Yarraville, we pay close attention to how truck routes, industrial sites and transport changes affect individual streets, because those details move value more here than in most inner suburbs.
Thirty minutes on your brief, your budget and the streets and property types that genuinely fit it. No obligation.
We inspect, shortlist and run the due diligence, including homes that sell quietly and never reach the portals.
We set the price strategy, negotiate or bid on your behalf, and manage the contract through to settlement.
Yarraville’s industrial history still matters. With the West Gate Tunnel open, Francis Street and Somerville Road are now 24/7 no-truck zones, which has changed the appeal of homes along those corridors. Check the current rules and traffic before assuming a street is quieter or busier than its reputation.
Remnant industry is the second issue. Sites such as the former Bradmill land on Francis Street and other industrial pockets can bring dust, noise or future redevelopment, so look at zoning and nearby permits. The Anderson Street level crossing is also set to close to vehicles in 2029, with a new pedestrian and cyclist underpass, which will change traffic patterns around the village. Thinking ahead about that change can help you choose a street that benefits rather than one that takes on more cars.

Many Victorian and Edwardian timber homes have been renovated in stages, and we look closely at stumps, subfloor ventilation, timber condition, termite history and the quality of extensions. Heritage overlays apply in parts of the suburb, which can limit changes to the street frontage. We also map what surrounds a property: truck zones, industrial sites, the freeway and the rail line. With Francis Street and Somerville Road now 24/7 no-truck zones and the Anderson Street level crossing set to close to vehicles in 2029, some streets are changing faster than their sales history suggests. The homes we see hold value best are period houses on quieter streets with an easy walk to the village and station.
Many of our purchases never reach the open market.
Yarraville rewards local detail. Alana checks zoning, nearby industrial uses, EPA notices and level crossing plans alongside the usual contract and building checks, so you understand what surrounds the home as well as the home itself. Sharyn keeps contact with owners and agents for period weatherboards that may sell before a campaign, which helps in the streets near the village where demand is strongest. Lou leads negotiation and auction bidding, using his experience as a selling agent and auctioneer to set realistic limits from recent local sales. As a fixed-fee, buyer-only firm, we have no reason to steer you towards any particular property.

Some homes change hands before they are ever advertised, so we search off-market property as well as listings. If it goes to auction, we can bid for you. Not sure about the building? Start with a pre-purchase property report.
