7/181-183 Geelong Road, Seddon VIC 3011
West Footscray station walking distance | Updated interior conceals ageing block | Unit market down 13.1% | Rental yield below suburb median
The decision narrows to this: you are buying a well-renovated unit in a block where the common property and external fabric will eventually require capital outlay, a risk that is not yet priced into the $360k-$390k range. The recent sale at 9/181-183 for $345k (Oct 2024) supports current asking, but the 13.1% decline in Seddon unit values over the past year means price growth is unlikely in the short term. This property works best as a hold for stable rental income or a first home where you plan to stay for five years.
Where this unit competes is on immediate livability—timber flooring, built-in robes, and an updated kitchen are rare in this price bracket for a suburb within 10km of the CBD. The ground-floor position and carport add practical appeal for an owner-occupier, while investors should note the $420/week rental estimate yields 5.6% at the low end of asking, slightly below Seddon’s 4.8% average but still cash-flow positive with a typical deposit. This property suits the buyer who prioritises move-in condition over capital appreciation.
Understand the tradeoff between a polished interior and an ageing complex before you bid. The comparable at 17/181-183 sold for $245k in January 2026—ask your conveyancer to review the sinking fund balance and recent special levies from strata records; those numbers will tell you if the price gap is value or deferred risk.

Market Insight
Seddon is an established Inner West suburb with a strong owner-occupier character, anchored by its protected village status and scarcity of stock. Demand is driven by families and professionals seeking quality homes, while the unit market is buoyed by high rental yields and strong tenant demand. Recent market conditions show a softening in house prices, though units have demonstrated resilience. Future growth is underpinned by limited supply and enduring appeal, yet affordability constraints and sensitivity to economic conditions present key risks.
