Spring selling season has officially sprung across Greater Bendigo, and this week’s transactions show that buyers remain confident, active, and ready to compete for the right property. From luxury acreage homes to compact townhouses and over 55s retirement living, the week ending Saturday 6 September 2025 revealed the continued strength and diversity of the local market.
Junortoun once again cemented its reputation as one of Bendigo’s most desirable lifestyle locations. A standout result was recorded at 61 Cassinia Drive, a spacious four-bedroom home on an expansive 2,459 square metre block, which sold for an impressive $965,000. With serene surroundings, large family living areas, and a true sense of space, properties like this are driving sustained demand in Bendigo’s outer eastern corridor. Junortoun continues to attract both upgraders and Melbourne tree changers who are seeking more land without sacrificing proximity to the CBD.
Over in Leichardt, the market reached new heights with a top-tier acreage sale at 400 Marong Serpentine Road. This premium four-bedroom home, set on over eight hectares, changed hands for $1,225,000. With seven vehicle spaces and stunning regional views, it was a textbook example of the calibre of properties drawing interest from high-end buyers looking for privacy, infrastructure, and quality. At this price point, Leichardt is commanding the attention of those leaving the city behind for Bendigo’s rural fringes.
Neilborough followed suit with its own standout result, as 34 Elysian Lane sold for $775,000. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home also sat on more than eight hectares of land, and included eight car spaces. The area is seeing increasing demand from buyers chasing peace and quiet, as well as small acreage suitable for hobby farming or long-term lifestyle development.
Closer to the city, Kennington delivered a very tidy midweek sale, with 7 of 26 Hodgkinson Street achieving $504,540. This two-bedroom home, while modest in scale, is representative of the convenience and livability that Kennington offers—with buyers consistently drawn to its access to schools, transport and La Trobe University. Similarly, White Hills continued its reliable performance, with a compact two-bedroom unit at 2 of 572 Napier Street fetching $380,000. White Hills remains a smart pick for investors and downsizers who want low-maintenance living in a family-friendly location.
Golden Square was a hive of activity this week, notching up multiple sales at varied price points. The highest of these was 81 Mistletoe Street, which settled at $610,000. A three-bedroom, four-car property on 684 square metres, it offered excellent value and appeal to growing families. At the more affordable end, 12 Illingworth Street sold for $455,000 while 4A Becker Close achieved $540,000. These results suggest that Golden Square continues to offer something for everyone, from investors to first-home buyers and beyond.
Marong has also continued its climb, led this week by the sale of 5 Parnell Street for $870,000. The three-bedroom home on a large 1,129 square metre block with seven vehicle spaces delivered a result that reflects the strong demand for family homes with room to grow. Marong has firmly established itself as a leading outer suburb, offering easy freeway access and a strong sense of community. Supporting this sentiment was the sale of a retirement living property at 70 of 1449 Calder Highway, which sold for $225,000—highlighting how Marong is increasingly becoming a suburb of all life stages.
In nearby Sailors Gully, 2 Mouat Street sold for $691,000. This four-bedroom home on a 1,011 square metre block featured a whopping six car spaces, highlighting the suburb’s appeal to trades, larger families, or buyers with high vehicle storage needs. Sailors Gully continues to deliver value with space, while remaining close to the core of Bendigo.
Quarry Hill, known for its character homes and proximity to the CBD, had another strong week with 6 Rowcliffe Street selling for $665,000. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and four car spaces on a 576 square metre block, it appealed to buyers who want the balance of heritage charm and modern livability in a tightly held location.
The most affordable sales this week came from the retirement living sector. Unit 108 at 1 Furness Street in Kangaroo Flat sold for $350,000, while the aforementioned Marong unit changed hands for $225,000. These results show a growing and accessible market for older buyers looking to downsize without compromising on lifestyle or amenity.
Taken together, this week’s sales clearly illustrate the broad spectrum of property types that continue to perform well across Greater Bendigo. From luxury lifestyle homes on acreage in Leichardt and Neilborough, to inner suburban units in White Hills and Kennington, buyers remain active across every price point and category.
The theme this week is balance—between scale and accessibility, between city proximity and space, between investment potential and long-term livability. As we move further into spring, vendors are likely to see increasing buyer inquiry and competition. With listings expected to rise through September, early movers are benefiting from limited stock and motivated purchasers.
The Bendigo market remains one of regional Victoria’s most resilient and attractive, and the results this week confirm that the city’s growth corridor continues to mature in both quality and diversity. Buyers are not just shopping for homes—they are looking for community, lifestyle, and long-term upside.
