The Bendigo property market maintained its upward momentum through the second week of July, showcasing a resilient blend of acreage properties, family homes, and affordable units. From Golden Square to Axe Creek and Huntly to Harcourt North, the spread of activity illustrates the growing breadth of buyer demand across the entire Bendigo region. The week ending 13 July 2025 delivered strong sales at every price point, with a notable concentration in lifestyle and outer-suburban markets.
The top sale of the week was secured at 3 Melbury Court in Epsom, which achieved a commanding $861,000. This large 1,870m² property featured four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and room for seven cars—a true family sanctuary with room to grow. Close behind was 623 Axe Creek Road in Axe Creek, which sold for $845,000. The 6.07-hectare property appealed to tree-changers looking for rural lifestyle perks without straying too far from Bendigo’s urban conveniences.
Lifestyle buyers also snapped up 133 Jensens Road in Kamarooka, a 9.87-hectare holding with a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home and four-car accommodation. That property sold for $785,000—well priced for its land size and appeal to those seeking privacy and space in a tranquil setting. Further reinforcing the regional lifestyle trend, 808 Calder Alternative Highway in Lockwood South changed hands for $780,000, offering 2.02 hectares and parking for eight vehicles.
Among conventional residential homes, Spring Gully stood out as a premium inner-suburb performer. The sale of 25 Annabell Court at $750,000 confirmed this pocket remains a favourite with families and professionals. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a generous 900m² block exemplified the value available in Spring Gully when land size, modern layout, and location converge.
Meanwhile, Bendigo’s outer fringe continues to pull strong interest from first-home buyers and upgraders. Huntly, in particular, was a hive of activity. Three properties in Huntly sold during the week: 15 Ilby Street ($600,000), 7 Hester Street ($592,000), and 17 Sendock Parade ($580,000). This cluster of sales demonstrates Huntly’s rising status as a go-to suburb for young families and those chasing affordability in a new housing precinct. All three homes offered four bedrooms, modern fittings, and reasonable land sizes—ticking the boxes for growing households.
Back toward the CBD, California Gully saw movement with 13 Wattle View Grove reaching $575,500. The large 948m² block and dual bathrooms made this home a solid buy, while Golden Square maintained strong momentum with the sale of 144 Mackenzie Street West at $550,000. Similarly priced was 148 Sailors Gully Road in Sailors Gully, which transacted at $500,000 for a three-bedroom home on 788m².
For those watching the unit and entry-level market, there were plenty of signs of life. 1/22 Somerville Street in Flora Hill sold for $340,000, catering perfectly to downsizers or investors. Meanwhile, a 41m² unit at 6/3 Kinnordy Court in Hamlyn Heights (in the broader Geelong region) fetched $277,000—a reminder that even the smallest of units can command strong interest with the right price point.
Land also traded hands, with a vacant block at 6 Cortland Close in Kangaroo Flat selling for $245,000. Meanwhile, a 4.1-hectare lifestyle parcel at Lot 3 Old Calder Highway in Harcourt North was picked up for $300,000, showing steady activity in the land banking and small acreage sectors.
Elsewhere, Marong continues to quietly build its reputation, with 21 Ormond Drive selling for $655,000. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and room for two cars on a 656m² block, this home offered value for money in a growing pocket on Bendigo’s western flank. Likewise, Flora Hill had another strong week, with 11 Keck Street achieving $628,000. That home boasted five bedrooms—a rare find—and provided a compelling option for larger families or shared living arrangements.
The week also saw continued confidence in Epsom, as the suburb’s family-friendly appeal and infrastructure attract repeat interest. Alongside the top sale at Melbury Court, other comparable properties remain tightly held, and buyers appear ready to pay a premium for modern homes on large blocks in this increasingly in-demand pocket.
Looking at broader market sentiment, Bendigo continues to offer something for every kind of buyer. Whether you’re a first-home buyer seeking an affordable entry point, a family needing room to grow, or a downsizer trading yard space for simplicity, there’s a corner of Bendigo serving your needs. The week’s results prove that the market is active and balanced, with neither buyers nor sellers dominating negotiations. This stability is a healthy sign heading into the final stretch of winter.
What’s particularly interesting about the current state of the Bendigo market is the strength of sales in semi-rural areas. Kamarooka, Axe Creek, Harcourt North, Lockwood South—these are not traditional hotspots for real estate activity, but as urban buyers reassess lifestyle priorities, we’re seeing a redistribution of demand. People want land, privacy, and space more than ever, and Bendigo’s regional lifestyle market is answering that call.
Heading into the remainder of July, stock remains relatively low—a typical seasonal pattern—but buyer urgency hasn’t faded. Agents report strong attendance at open homes, and well-presented properties are still drawing multiple offers. The Bendigo market, despite economic headwinds and a cooling national market, continues to outperform expectations due to its lifestyle appeal, relative affordability, and growing infrastructure.
Sellers with well-maintained properties in sought-after locations like Spring Gully, Flora Hill, or Epsom will find they’re still in a position of strength. Meanwhile, buyers should act quickly, particularly if they’re targeting value pockets like Golden Square or Huntly where the best properties aren’t lingering for long.
