A vacant block of land in Niddrie, in Melbourne’s north-west, sold for $1.68 million in April 2026. There was no house on it. Property records show the old house had been knocked down. The block is near Aberfeldie, which our earlier story named by mistake.

Why Land Sells for So Much
In 2023, the agent described the old house as being on “one of Niddrie’s best streets”. The listing said it was close to Keilor Road shops, cafés, trams and freeways. Buyers often pay a lot for land in suburbs close to the city.
Building Costs
A buyer of vacant land still has to pay to build a home. Building costs vary a lot. Buyers should get quotes before they bid.
