Another busy week in Bendigo’s property market saw a robust mix of high-end acreage, family homes, and affordable entry-level options change hands. As winter winds down and spring listing activity begins to build, buyer sentiment appears strong, particularly among upsizers and tree changers looking for space on the fringe.
With 20+ confirmed sales this week across Epsom, Maiden Gully, Kangaroo Flat, Flora Hill, East Bendigo, and more, the data shows that Bendigo’s real estate market remains in excellent health. We continue to see well-located and well-maintained properties achieve strong results, particularly when vendors align pricing with buyer expectations.
East Bendigo Hits Seven Figures
The top sale this week was 26 Cunningham Lane, East Bendigo — a rural-style property on over 3.24 hectares, which sold for $1,220,000. This three-bedroom lifestyle property is a prime example of the increasing demand for semi-rural living close to city conveniences. East Bendigo continues to be popular for buyers wanting privacy, land, and proximity to Bendigo’s urban centre.
Not far behind in the premium category was 192 O’Briens Lane in Longlea, a five-bedroom, three-bathroom home on more than 8 hectares, which sold for $1,100,000. Large-acreage properties like this are attracting serious interest from Melbourne buyers seeking a lifestyle shift while maintaining long-term investment potential.
Another notable high-end transaction was 69 McIvor Forest Drive, Junortoun, a modern four-bedroom home with two living areas and double garage, which sold for $850,000. Junortoun’s reputation for large blocks and family-friendly estates is driving consistent demand and price appreciation.
Strathfieldsaye, Maiden Gully and Epsom Continue to Thrive
Popular family suburbs such as Strathfieldsaye, Maiden Gully, and Epsom once again made strong showings.
- 10 Baymont Drive, Strathfieldsaye sold for $790,000 — a spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence with ample parking and generous outdoor living.
- 42 Highland Way, Maiden Gully fetched $765,000, reinforcing its position as one of Bendigo’s most sought-after growth corridors.
- 7 Ayden Place, Maiden Gully also performed well, closing at $620,000 for a three-bedroom townhouse, showing buyer interest even in higher-density options in this area.
In Epsom, three notable results reflect the continued strength of this suburb:
- 5 Willowbank Court: 4-bed, 2-bath on 615m² — $735,000
- 186 Station Street: 3-bed, 2-bath on 1,527m² — $630,000
- 114 Goynes Road: 728m² residential land — $290,000
With a blend of established homes, modern estates, and new land releases, Epsom is offering options across all buyer brackets, which continues to underpin strong price growth.
Kangaroo Flat Proving Popular for Owner-Occupiers
Kangaroo Flat once again featured prominently on the sales board. This week saw:
- 5/67 Church Street, a three-bedroom townhouse, sell for $515,000
- 18 Collins Street, a larger three-bed, two-bath home on over 800m², sell for $650,000
The consistent activity here reflects the suburb’s popularity with families, downsizers, and investors alike. With improved transport access, shopping amenities, and a good range of property styles, Kangaroo Flat is a standout for value.
Affordable and Compact Options Still Drawing Attention
While million-dollar acreage is turning heads, the market remains balanced with solid demand for more affordable, compact housing. Buyers are seeking lower-maintenance homes and entry-level investments.
Among this week’s most accessible purchases:
- 1/32A Brown Street, California Gully — two-bedroom unit, sold for $400,000
- 10 White Street, Kennington — three-bedroom home, sold for $445,000
- 199 Arnold Street, North Bendigo — three-bedroom home, sold for $485,000
- 1 Anaheim Avenue, Huntly — three-bedroom home on 413m², sold for $555,000
These results highlight strong demand from first-home buyers and investors seeking affordable properties within 10–15 minutes of Bendigo’s CBD.
Flora Hill Shows Versatility Across Price Points
Two notable transactions in Flora Hill reflect the suburb’s appeal to a wide demographic:
- 4 Deakin Drive, a vacant 855m² block, sold for $330,000
- 125 Havlin Street East, a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 683m², settled at $621,000
With proximity to schools, La Trobe University, and Bendigo South East College, Flora Hill remains attractive to both families and student accommodation investors.
White Hills, Huntly and Residential Land
Elsewhere, White Hills proved strong again with 20 Topaz Avenue — a four-bedroom home selling for $667,500. This suburb is fast becoming a growth story, especially with buyers priced out of Strathfieldsaye and Epsom.
The sale of 4 Deakin Drive, Flora Hill (land at $330,000) and 114 Goynes Road, Epsom (land at $290,000) shows that vacant land sales remain resilient. Despite rising construction costs, buyers are still willing to pay premiums for well-located blocks.
Outlook: Spring Surge Expected
We’re now seeing the early signals of the spring selling season taking hold. Multiple agents across Bendigo are reporting increased appraisal requests, more scheduled auctions, and improved buyer turnout at open homes.
The split of demand is clear — families and upsizers are targeting the mid-to-high $600,000s to $800,000s in key estates, while investors and first-time buyers are keeping competition strong in the sub-$500k unit and townhouse range.
As the weather warms and listings increase, well-prepared homes will be in pole position. Vendors should act decisively to capitalise on what is shaping up to be a highly active spring market in Bendigo.
