Bendigo has once again delivered a standout week in real estate with a series of strong sales spanning every corner of the market, from multi-million dollar lifestyle properties to compact units and centrally located homes that continue to draw interest from investors, downsizers, and first-home buyers alike. With activity spread across East Bendigo, Kennington, Strathfieldsaye, Kangaroo Flat, and Huntly, this week’s data confirms the depth and breadth of demand across the Bendigo region.
The highest sale of the week came courtesy of a premium listing at 13-15 Doak Street, East Bendigo, which sold for an impressive $1,500,000. This expansive four-bedroom, two-bathroom home set on 1,606 square metres offered buyers space, privacy, and strong capital growth potential in a tightly held location. With four car spaces and generous land dimensions, this sale exemplifies the rising appetite for well-appointed lifestyle properties within the urban fringe.
In Strathfieldsaye, a popular family suburb with growing infrastructure and green surrounds, 12 Candlewood Drive changed hands for $730,000. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with double garage sat on a 685 square metre block and reflected the continuing demand for turnkey family residences. As Strathfieldsaye grows in appeal with new schools, cafes, and medical centres, this price point confirms its positioning as one of Bendigo’s top-performing outer suburbs.
Nearby, 12 Cliff Avenue in Strathdale sold for $680,000, while 9 Joshua Court in Spring Gully changed hands for $581,000. Both properties offered excellent value with generous proportions and practical layouts in sought-after locations. The Spring Gully property, with its four bedrooms on a spacious 861 square metre block, showcased a growing desire for privacy without sacrificing proximity to the CBD.
California Gully had a strong showing this week, headlined by the sale of 26 Butler Street for $526,000. With three bedrooms, one bathroom, four car spaces and a large 947 square metre block, this property represented excellent value in a suburb undergoing steady gentrification. The neighbourhood continues to attract buyers seeking affordable homes within a short drive of the city centre.
Flora Hill was also well represented with two notable sales. A three-bedroom unit at 3/70 Somerville Street fetched $475,000, while a freestanding home at 160 Neale Street sold for $465,000. The area’s proximity to La Trobe University and Bendigo South East College makes it an attractive location for families and investors alike.
Kennington continued its consistent performance with multiple sales. A property at 94 Marnie Road reached a strong $890,000, offering four bedrooms and four car spaces across a generous 1,463 square metre allotment. Other results in Kennington included 100-102 Mundy Street, which sold for $510,000, and 22 Murphy Street, which fetched $617,900. Rounding out the week was 8a Condon Street at $605,000. Kennington’s appeal lies in its mature tree-lined streets, access to Kennington Reservoir, and close proximity to schools and shops, making it a perennial favourite.
Kangaroo Flat also made several appearances this week. A neat two-bedroom home at 16 Pittaway Street sold for $465,000, while 1/13 Bowles Street settled at an affordable $290,000. These price points reflect the suburb’s appeal to both investors and downsizers looking for quality options with low maintenance needs. Kangaroo Flat remains a dependable performer, especially given its growing amenity base and strong rental demand.
Another suburb that continues to impress is Huntly. A well-proportioned four-bedroom home at 72 Waratah Road was snapped up for $705,000. With two bathrooms, three car spaces, and a 766 square metre block, this result underlines the suburb’s emergence as a destination for buyers seeking newer builds on larger blocks with room to grow.
Elsewhere across Bendigo, Spring Gully showed its family-friendly charm again with the $581,000 sale of a four-bedroom home in Joshua Court. Meanwhile, Long Gully recorded a strong sale at 3 Stone Street for $475,000, showcasing the suburb’s rising status among value-seeking buyers.
In East Bendigo, the $1.5 million Doak Street sale set the tone, but other transactions also supported the suburb’s appeal. The area’s blend of commercial presence and established housing options makes it one to watch as demand for inner-city lifestyle options increases.
From a unit and townhouse perspective, the Bendigo region offered up a few accessible options for entry-level buyers and downsizers. The sale of 3/70 Somerville Street in Flora Hill for $475,000, and 1/13 Bowles Street in Kangaroo Flat for $290,000, reflect steady demand for low-maintenance dwellings close to transport, schools, and shops.
Quarry Hill saw a three-bedroom home at 58A Havlin Street West sell for $546,500. With two car spaces and a block size of 449 square metres, the property balanced convenience and comfort, proving again that character homes in fringe suburbs remain in strong demand.
This week also saw steady buyer interest in established homes with renovation potential. Properties like 26 Butler Street in California Gully and 3 Stone Street in Long Gully attracted attention for their land sizes and future upside. As affordability pressures continue to influence buyer decisions, the appeal of homes with cosmetic renovation potential is unlikely to diminish anytime soon.
From million-dollar listings to neat investment-ready properties, Bendigo’s real estate market continues to show remarkable balance. The spread of sales across lifestyle properties, family homes, and investor-friendly units confirms a market that remains diverse, dynamic, and resilient. With spring just around the corner and more stock expected to hit the market in coming weeks, local agents are bracing for an active selling season.
As always, the Bendigo market rewards properties that are well presented, realistically priced, and situated in locations with lifestyle appeal or strong fundamentals. Whether it’s a high-end property in East Bendigo or a renovator’s delight in Flora Hill, the appetite for real estate in this region remains strong across all buyer categories.
