The Bendigo property market continues to track steadily through June, with another strong performance in weekly sales volume and several standout results reflecting buyer confidence across both family-friendly suburbs and lifestyle locations.
Top Sale of the Week
The highest recorded sale this week was 4 Orana Court, Strathdale, sold by Matt Leonard of Buxton Bendigo for $1,015,000. This substantial five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence on a generous 1,385m² block represents the kind of quality family home buyers continue to pursue in the city’s eastern pocket.
Close behind was 30 Townsend Street, Flora Hill, which fetched $770,000 through Jesse Forbes of McGrath Bendigo. This home offered four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three car spaces on a 645m² allotment—an appealing blend of space and location near La Trobe University and the CBD fringe.
High-End Movement

Mid-Market Highlights

Affordable Opportunities and First-Home Buyer Activity
The lower end of the market saw solid turnover, offering accessible price points that remain appealing for investors and entry-level buyers alike:
- 3/76 Taylor Street, Ascot sold for $495,000 (West Edge Real Estate – Ben Crooks), a three-bedroom townhouse with double garage.
- 1 Hosken Street, California Gully, with a large 1,060m² allotment, offered strong value for a home with future potential.
- Even in the mid-$400Ks, buyers found options—like the tidy property in Ascot and others with generous land sizes and practical layouts.
Land Sales Still Turning Heads
Interest in land hasn’t slowed. 12 Burgoyne Street, Huntly—a significant 5.62-hectare lot—moved for $540,000, adding another data point to the trend of buyers targeting larger plots for rural lifestyle living or long-term development.
Summary
This week Bendigo recorded a balanced mix of premium family homes, mid-tier dwellings, and lower-entry properties, highlighting the broad buyer demand across the market. Suburbs such as Strathdale, Flora Hill, White Hills, and Huntly continue to see robust interest, while Maiden Gully and Strathfieldsaye uphold their appeal among higher-end owner-occupiers.
As winter settles in, Bendigo’s real estate activity remains resilient—particularly as buyers remain active and prepared, and sellers continue to meet the market with confidence and clarity on price expectations.
