Data story · Transport Victoria timetable from 22 Oct 2026 and Valuer-General Victoria house sales, Oct-Dec 2025

Train time to the city and house prices in Melbourne and Victoria

We set the scheduled morning train time to the city beside the median house price for 242 Victorian areas near a station. In areas under 20 minutes out, the middle median is $1,550,000. In areas 90 minutes or more out, it is $540,000.

These are price facts about areas. A train time is one of many things behind a price, and the spread inside each band is wide.

How we made this

Areas. ABS statistical areas (SA2) in Victoria, the same areas as our suburb pages.

Train time. From the Transport Victoria static timetable feed: for the station nearest each area, the middle scheduled travel time of the weekday trains leaving between 6:00 and 9:30 am for Flinders Street (Metro) or Southern Cross (V/Line). Train only; bus and tram are not included, and neither is any walk, drive or wait. An area is shown only when its centre lies within 3 km of that station.

Price. The Valuer-General's median house price, Oct-Dec 2025, for the locality the area is named after. Where an area holds several localities and none shares its name, the figure is the middle of their medians, with each locality weighted by its number of sales, and the table says so.

What it cannot tell you. One quarter of sales is a small sample, and a median moves with the mix of houses sold. Areas differ in many ways besides the train: the size of the blocks, the coast, the age of the houses. This page sets two published figures side by side; it does not say one causes the other.

Do houses closer to the city by train cost more?

On the whole, yes, but the spread is wide. In the 43 areas under 20 minutes from the city, the middle median house price is $1,550,000. In the 13 areas 90 minutes or more out, it is $540,000. Inside every band some areas cost far more or far less than the middle figure.

Where do the train times come from?

From the Transport Victoria timetable (static GTFS). For each station we take the middle scheduled travel time of the weekday trains leaving between 6:00 and 9:30 am for Flinders Street (Metro) or Southern Cross (V/Line). Where a station has both, both count. It is timetabled time on the train only: no walk, drive or wait at either end.

Why only Victoria?

Victoria publishes a median house price for each suburb, and its train timetable is open. New South Wales has no free train timetable feed we can use yet, and Queensland has no free sale-price series.

Why are some areas left out?

An area is shown only when it has both a train time and a median house price, and its centre lies within 3 km of the station the time is from. Further out, the train time says little about the trip from home. 407 Victorian areas have both figures; 242 pass the distance rule.
