Bayswater (VIC 3153): property prices & suburb profile

Bayswater property prices

The typical Bayswater house sold for around $931,000 in the year to 2025-Q4, +64.2% over 10 years and +19.7% over 5 years.

• Medians are published by the Victorian Valuer-General per suburb; we do not have individual sale records for this state, so there is no street-level breakdown on this page (our New South Wales pages have one).
• The headline figure is a sales-weighted average of the last four quarterly medians, not a median of individual sales, because one quiet quarter in a single suburb can move a quarterly median by more than the market did. The chart below plots each quarter as published.
• The Victorian Valuer-General yearly file currently ends at 2024; newer points on the chart and the short-horizon changes come from the quarterly file.
• Change over time reflects what sold in each period, not the value of any one home: a run of large or small homes moves it.
• Periods with fewer than 5 recorded sales are excluded.

• Figures labelled Bayswater are for the suburb boundary itself (ABS 2021 Census). Anything labelled SA2 or postcode covers a wider area: SA2 "Bayswater" and postcode 3153 both extend beyond Bayswater.
• SEIFA decile 1 is the lowest tenth of Australian areas on that index and 10 the highest. The four indices measure different things and often disagree, which is why all four are shown: a suburb can rank high on education and occupation while ranking mid on economic resources.

Schools in Bayswater

The 5 schools in Bayswater sit at the 48th percentile nationally on ACARA's socio-educational index.

• ICSEA is ACARA's socio-educational index (average 1000). It describes the family backgrounds of the students enrolled, NOT how well a school teaches: a lower ICSEA means a less advantaged intake, not a worse school.
• Percentiles are ACARA's own national ranking, so the Australia bar is a published figure rather than our arithmetic. Each area shows the median of the mainstream schools sitting inside it; special schools are listed in the table but excluded from the medians.
• Public school intake zones are not published in our dataset for this state, so confirm catchments with the school.
