The start of the new financial year has kicked off with renewed activity in the Bendigo property market, where sales volumes have held firm across a broad spectrum of property types. From centrally located heritage homes and semi-rural acreage blocks to modern builds in Kennington and investor-grade units in Golden Square, the week’s results showcase the continued versatility and appeal of Greater Bendigo’s real estate landscape.
Topping the charts this week was the impressive result at 132 Junortoun Road in Junortoun, which sold for $1,030,000. This one-hectare lifestyle property with four bedrooms and expansive accommodation highlights the demand for semi-rural homes that offer privacy without compromising on proximity to town. Likewise, a significant East Bendigo acreage sale at 125 Heinz Street fetched $850,000, with buyers drawn to its 2.43-hectare landholding and extensive shedding—appealing to tradespeople, hobby farmers, or buyers needing space to stretch.
Kennington had a particularly active week, led by the sale of 22 Lowndes Street for $582,000 on a generous 1,090 square metre block. Other sales in the suburb included 19 Curtin Street for $630,000 and 3 Ningana Drive for a strong $1,050,000 result, indicating consistent buyer appetite in one of Bendigo’s most tightly held and family-friendly enclaves.
Central Bendigo also posted multiple noteworthy transactions. A standout sale at 68 Barkly Street changed hands for $920,000 through PH Property, reinforcing the enduring allure of character homes close to the city centre. Further east, 105 Lucan Street achieved $675,000, and 219 King Street sold for $435,000—strong outcomes for homes that blend classic Bendigo charm with location-driven value.
Bridgewater on Loddon made a rare but notable appearance, with a modest three-bedroom home at 33 Lily Street selling for $340,000. While not typically in the spotlight, this sale serves as a reminder of the growing appeal of regional lifestyle towns for buyers priced out of Bendigo’s metro fringe.
Over in Huntly, 16 Gold Leaf Court reached $690,000, benefiting from its oversized 2,017 square metre allotment. This sale reinforces a key trend: buyers continue to chase space, especially as telecommuting remains a viable long-term option. Nearby Epsom also saw continued traction with a townhouse at 8/55-57 Manna Gum Drive selling for $550,000—indicative of the suburb’s popularity with young families and first-home buyers.
The week also included a cluster of mid-range family homes transacting across Kangaroo Flat, Spring Gully, and Long Gully. These included 9 Muir Street for $560,000, 4 Joshua Court for $645,000, and 51-51a Moran Street for $520,000. These suburbs continue to deliver value and versatility to buyers looking for larger blocks and well-established homes.
Investor interest appears to be healthy as well, with multiple unit and townhouse sales dotting the region. Among them, a two-bedroom unit at 3/39 James Street, Strathdale changed hands for $376,000, while 7/20 Emmett Street in Golden Square reached $525,000. These transactions highlight the resilience of Bendigo’s lower-maintenance property segment, offering reliable rental returns and manageable price points for first-time investors.
Golden Square saw heightened activity, with a strong cluster of sales including 297 King Street ($360,000), 18A Macdougall Road ($556,000), and 7/20 Emmett Street. This area continues to provide one of the best combinations of affordability, central access, and established amenity in the Bendigo market. Likewise, East Bendigo remains competitive with results like 57 Solomon Street (land at $240,000) and 125 Heinz Street topping the $800k mark.
In Kangaroo Flat, 9 Ford Street moved for $500,000—a respectable figure for a two-bedroom home on 630 square metres, further proving demand for well-located, well-maintained stock remains healthy. Also of note, 1/9 Panton Street in Eaglehawk sold for $330,000, marking continued demand for duplex-style homes in outer northern suburbs.
Overall, the market shows no signs of the usual winter lull. Instead, buyers remain active, particularly where property offers a blend of land size, modern updates, or proximity to Bendigo’s top-performing school zones and amenities. The diversity of results this week—from seven-figure lifestyle blocks to compact units—demonstrates Bendigo’s strength as a balanced regional city with property options across every price point.
If this level of confidence holds, we can expect the July market to stay warm—regardless of the weather.
