As the spring selling season continues to heat up, Bendigo’s real estate market showed strength across a variety of price points and suburbs this week, with a mix of established homes, family upgrades, and acreage properties changing hands. From first-home buyer territory in Long Gully and Flora Hill to prestige acreage listings in Golden Square and Lockwood South, the week ending 11 October 2025 offered a compelling snapshot of a market that remains active, diverse, and full of buyer intent.
Let’s unpack the highlights from this week’s Bendigo sales and what they mean for buyers, sellers, and investors eyeing regional Victoria.
Golden Square: Prestige and Position Draw Strong Demand
Golden Square was one of the standout performers of the week, headlined by the remarkable sale of 1 Emmett Street, which settled at $950,000. Sitting on a 2,930m² allotment and featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and six car spaces, this property offered a rare combination of space, flexibility, and location. It reflects the rising demand for homes with land in established suburbs, especially those within close proximity to the Bendigo CBD.
Golden Square saw multiple sales this week, highlighting its ongoing appeal. Another notable result came from 88 Maple Street, a well-kept three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a 482.5m² block, which fetched $530,000 — a strong result that suggests mid-tier properties are holding their value well.
Flora Hill: Affordable Entry Points and Steady Growth
Flora Hill, long known for its accessibility to La Trobe University and excellent local amenities, delivered two key sales. 85 Osborne Street, a charming three-bedroom home on 366m², was sold for $570,000, while 101 Neale Street, a two-bedroom unit, settled at $444,000. These figures indicate that buyers are still seeking out value in city-fringe suburbs, with units continuing to attract downsizers and investors alike.
As Bendigo continues to grow, Flora Hill remains one of the most strategically positioned suburbs for long-term capital growth — and this week’s results reinforce that trend.
Long Gully: Budget-Friendly Homes with Big Land Sizes
Buyers searching for space without the hefty price tag are increasingly looking to Long Gully. A standout this week was 45 Cunneen Street, a two-bedroom house with four car spaces on a whopping 1,032m², which sold for just $402,000 — offering an incredible land-to-price ratio in today’s market. Similarly, 43 Poulston Street, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home on 631m², achieved $665,000, showing that renovated or newer properties in Long Gully are commanding premium attention.
With several homes selling in the mid-$400K range, Long Gully is emerging as one of Bendigo’s most budget-friendly suburbs with excellent upside, particularly for first-time buyers and renovators.
Kangaroo Flat & Kennington: Family Homes in Demand
In Kangaroo Flat, 15 Aspera Way, a four-bedroom family home, recorded a healthy result of $760,000. With new estates in the area drawing attention from families, this result reflects the continued demand for well-located, move-in-ready homes.
Meanwhile, Kennington saw a higher-end transaction with 11/25-27 Marnie Road selling for $705,000. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was located within a tightly held pocket, and the price point illustrates the suburb’s ability to support premium values due to its proximity to schools, shops, and healthcare.
Junortoun & Lockwood South: Semi-Rural Properties Deliver Value
One of the biggest trends in the post-COVID market has been the shift towards lifestyle properties, and this week continued to deliver on that front. In Lockwood South, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home on more than 4,000m² at 39 Lockwood Rises Road changed hands for $647,500. The appeal of semi-rural living — more space, greater privacy, and the flexibility to work from home — continues to draw steady demand.
Similarly, 8 Inverness Drive in Junortoun, a four-bedroom property on a 587m² block, was snapped up for $690,000, a solid figure that indicates lifestyle buyers are still willing to spend in well-established locations.
Spring Gully: Units Attracting Strong Returns
Spring Gully continues to prove its worth among investors and downsizers, with 2/60a Spring Gully Road, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit, selling for $485,000. With more people seeking low-maintenance living options near nature and amenities, properties in this area are commanding consistent demand.
California Gully: Steady Sales in Established Markets
Another area to watch is California Gully, where 17 Hunter Avenue, a two-bedroom house with three car spaces on 676m², fetched $480,000. These older-style homes are increasingly seen as affordable entry points, particularly with land sizes that offer potential for future redevelopment or renovation.
Strathfieldsaye & Kangaroo Flat: The Family Appeal Stays Strong
At the higher end of the week’s sales was 20 Imagine Drive, Strathfieldsaye, which fetched $820,000. This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a double garage sits on a 598m² lot and reflects the suburb’s continuing appeal for families seeking newer homes, excellent schools, and peaceful surrounds. Strathfieldsaye continues to show up regularly in top sales, cementing its status as one of Bendigo’s most family-friendly areas.
Market Summary:
Across Bendigo this week, buyers showed clear preferences for space, lifestyle, and quality family homes. The diversity of properties — from acreage retreats and family homes to units and first-home specials — highlights the strength and versatility of the region. What’s particularly notable is the number of homes in the $600K to $800K bracket, showing that this segment of the market is currently the sweet spot for both buyers and sellers.
While prices haven’t surged significantly, they’re also not showing signs of softening — a signal of continued market stability. Buyer sentiment remains optimistic, especially among upsizers and lifestyle seekers, and this is helping maintain a balanced market heading into the peak spring selling season.
Looking Ahead
With more listings hitting the market and spring in full swing, the coming weeks are likely to remain busy across all Bendigo regions. Sellers with well-presented, realistically priced homes should continue to attract strong interest, while buyers will need to move quickly on desirable properties as competition builds.
For anyone thinking of selling in the Bendigo region, now remains an opportune time to take advantage of stable pricing, healthy buyer activity, and the seasonal uplift in demand. Whether it’s a townhouse in Flora Hill or an acreage in Lockwood South, buyers are out there — and they’re ready to act.
