Bendigo’s real estate market wrapped up the third week of June with a surge in premium sales and a notable uptick in demand across a wide variety of property types. Covering the period from Sunday 15 June to Saturday 21 June 2025, the market reflected steady buyer confidence and an increase in interest from upgraders and lifestyle seekers, particularly in suburbs like Flora Hill, Maiden Gully, and Junortoun.
At the top end of the market, Flora Hill delivered an eye-catching sale with 16 Lyndale Court changing hands for $1.5 million. This spacious five-bedroom property sits on an expansive 2,717 square metre allotment, offering not just privacy but genuine lifestyle appeal. Buyers continue to show willingness to invest in large blocks when the location combines tranquility with accessibility to Bendigo’s CBD.
Maiden Gully, another perennial favourite for families and professionals, maintained strong performance. The standout was 14 Cabernet Drive, sold for $1,215,000—a four-bedroom home with a modern design and impressive street presence. The area’s combination of generous block sizes and proximity to good schools and green spaces makes it a consistent performer in the mid-to-high range.
Meanwhile, Junortoun proved once again that semi-rural lifestyle properties remain in strong demand. 28 Callistemon Close, sitting on over two hectares of land, sold for $750,000. Though modest in internal specs compared to city homes, the expansive acreage and potential for further development likely drove buyer interest. It’s a trend we’ve seen repeat week after week: lifestyle trumps luxury for a growing subset of regional buyers.
Epsom continues to provide a reliable mid-tier option. 235 Station Street, a four-bedroom home on 623 square metres, sold for $635,000, highlighting the area’s appeal to young families and downsizers looking for low-maintenance but well-located homes. Likewise, Huntly had two solid sales: 12 Leist Street at $615,000 and 52 Raglan Street, White Hills at $590,000—both of which illustrate continued strength in the northern corridor.
Affordability also had a strong showing this week. Long Gully was home to one of the most budget-friendly sales, with 74 Happy Valley Road selling for $355,000—offering entry-level buyers a chance to step into the market without compromise on proximity to central Bendigo. Similarly, Kangaroo Flat continues to attract interest, with 2/13 Bowles Street going for $305,000, showing strong yield potential for investors or first-time buyers.
Several standout townhouse and unit transactions helped round out the week’s activity. 2/25 Somerville Street, Flora Hill changed hands for $312,500, while a three-bedroom townhouse at 7/30-32 Race Street, also in Flora Hill, sold for $470,000. These sales reflect an uptick in demand for low-maintenance properties in well-serviced areas—a key sign of a maturing investor and downsizer segment in Bendigo.
In terms of location-based trends, Strathdale is quickly becoming one to watch. 82 Harley Street sold for $725,000, while 12 Sandstone Rise reached $645,000. Both sales suggest that buyers see enduring value in this elevated, leafy enclave.
California Gully also returned a healthy result this week with 333 Eaglehawk Road fetching $420,000—a fair price given its position on a main arterial road and the steady stream of buyer attention this suburb continues to receive.
From a broader perspective, the diversity in buyer appetite—from entry-level homes to high-end family residences and even semi-rural holdings—shows that Bendigo’s market remains both balanced and resilient. The presence of multiple sales above the $1 million mark this week is not just a blip, but further evidence that regional buyers are willing to meet the market when the property delivers lifestyle, scale, or location advantages.
Looking at the overall week, vendor confidence remains high, with multiple properties going under offer shortly after listing—an encouraging sign for those preparing to bring homes to market in July. As interest rates continue to stabilise, Bendigo appears well-positioned to attract continued demand from Melbourne escapees, regional upgraders, and savvy investors alike.
We’ll continue watching whether this strong momentum carries into the final weeks of the financial year. For now, this has been one of the more dynamic and top-heavy sales weeks Bendigo has seen in recent months, underscoring the city’s ongoing appeal and the diversity of its housing stock.
