25 Kororoit Creek Road, Williamstown VIC 3016

Suburb trend declining | Yield below 3% | No overlays | Energy score above average This townhouse carries two measurable risks for a buyer. The suburb has seen a -3.8% growth rate, which means any capital gain in the near term relies entirely on the property’s specific attributes rather than a rising market. The rental yield sits at only 2.6%, so if you plan to hold this as an investment, the income will not cover holding costs without significant equity input. On the opportunity side, the energy efficiency score of 6.1 is notably above the state average, reducing long-term utility expenses and improving appeal to future purchasers. The practical judgment here is that this is a property to occupy, not to trade. What makes this competitive is the rare combination of northern light, four bedrooms with three bathrooms, and a study in a 189-square-metre layout on a 154-square-metre lot—this floor plan is uncommon for a townhouse at this price point in Williamstown. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays simplifies due diligence and insurance costs. It serves best a buyer who values modern low-maintenance living in a coastal village setting and intends to stay for at least five years.
