Merbein West ^{VIC 3505}

The median house sale price in Merbein West sits at $478,000, broadly flat year-on-year. That said, only three sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level.

The three add up to the change above. These are council-wide figures from the ABS, not figures for this suburb alone — this suburb's own population is in the census section above.

Households face an average residential rates bill of $2,340 a year through Mildura 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 suburb around it — the property page shows the zone for one address.

In the year to August 2026, 446 new dwellings were approved across Mildura. That mix is 391 houses and 55 units. Approvals are up 29.4% on the same period a year earlier.
