Likewise, Pirra homestead (1886) is also on the register.<\/p>\n<p>CoreLogic data indicates that the predominant age group in Lara is 40-49 years with households in Lara being primarily couples with children and are likely to be repaying on average $1,733 per month on mortgage repayments, and in general, people in Lara work in a professional occupation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AGENT PERSPECTIVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real estate market in Lara remains steady and buoyant, offering a unique appeal for buyers seeking a balance between value and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConveniently located between Geelong and Melbourne, Lara attracts a lot of interest from buyers in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne and outer- Geelong areas such as Armstrong Creek and Leopold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen an increase of first-home buyers enter the market in the last 12 months, many taking advantage of the Government\u2019s 5% First Home Buyer Scheme, and are drawn to the area\u2019s affordability and variety, with a mix of established homes on large blocks and modern builds on smart blocks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHomes like 20 Coppice Street, Lara, a 2 year old 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 living area home recently sold at $620,000 drew plenty of interest from first home buyers, whilst 127 Rennie Street which offered a large 867m2 block with a 40 square home, inground pool and plenty of parking sold to a local family looking to upsize for $922,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a proud local for nearly 20 years, I can confidently say that Lara\u2019s community driven lifestyle, with plenty of parks, open spaces, great schools and amenities and active community groups, makes it the perfect place to call home!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/LaraRSL_50961.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Natasha Boreland \u2013 Senior Sales Consultant \u2013 Hayeswinckle Lara<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>TIDBIT:<\/p>\n<p>Originally name Hovells Creek in 1872, two years later, after local petitioning, the name Lara was settled on<\/p>\n<p>Population: 20,817<\/p>\n<p>Male: 52%<\/p>\n<p>Female: 48%<\/p>\n<p>Median age: 37<\/p>\n<p>5 year population change: 17%<\/p>\n<p>House median sales price: $680,000<\/p>\n<p>Change in median price: (5yrs) 25%<\/p>\n<p>Median asking rent per week: $550<\/p>\n<p>Average length of ownership: 10 years<\/p>\n<p>Owner occupiers: 77%<\/p>\n<p>Renters: 23%<\/p>\n<p>House median value:<\/p>\n<p>December 2024: $707,540<\/p>\n<p>December 2023: $739,000<\/p>\n<p>December 2022: $717,500<\/p>\n<p>December 2021: $753,200<\/p>\n<p>December 2020: $606,300<\/p>\n<p>House sales per annum:<\/p>\n<p>Period ending December 2024: 337<\/p>\n<p>Period ending December 2023: 247<\/p>\n<p>Land median sale price:<\/p>\n<p>December 2024: $372,000<\/p>\n<p>December 2023: $369,500<\/p>\n<p>Land sales per annum:<\/p>\n<p>Period ending December 2024: 86<\/p>\n<p>Period ending December 2023: 110<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE size of Lara is approximately 89.5 square kilometres and has 45 parks covering nearly 6.7% of total area.
