Gherang ^{VIC 3240}

The median house sale price in Gherang sits at $1.46 million, broadly flat year-on-year. That said, only six sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level.

Houses in Gherang are currently listed at around $1.6 million on average. Based on 3 houses listed in the past six months.

3 of the suburb's 130 dwellings (2.3%) were listed for sale in the last 6 months.

Households face an average residential rates bill of $2,314 a year through Surf Coast based on 2024 figures.

Zoning sets what may be built, not what is there today. A single address can sit in a different zone to the locality around it — the property page shows the zone for one address.
