Bendigo Real Estate Market Wrap: Week Ending 3 May 2025
Data sourced from realestate.com.au
The first week of May has arrived, and with it came a steady stream of transactions across Bendigo’s ever-diverse property market. From lifestyle acreage in Woodvale to compact units in Long Gully and North Bendigo, buyers remain actively engaged, seeking out both family-friendly options and entry-level opportunities.
While no single suburb dominated the headlines, the real story this week was consistency. Sales were evenly spread across areas such as Golden Square, Kangaroo Flat, Epsom and White Hills, demonstrating the broad-based strength of the local market. Even as seasonal shifts begin to influence listing activity, buyer appetite remains strong, especially for homes with quality presentation and realistic price points.
Woodvale Secures Top Spot with Premium Lifestyle Result
The highest sale this week came from 30 Noy Court, Woodvale, a substantial four-bedroom home set on 9.41 hectares. Sold by Danny Clarke of Professionals Bendigo for $790,000, the property included eight-car accommodation, generous living zones and sweeping rural surrounds—making it a classic lifestyle acquisition for buyers prioritising space and privacy.
Woodvale continues to attract attention from tree-changers and hobby farmers alike, and results like this reaffirm its reputation as a premium fringe location just a short drive from central Bendigo.
Epsom and Golden Square Prove Mid-Range Strength
In Epsom, Delaney Barker of Ray White Bendigo managed the sale of 6 Howe Court for $630,000. This four-bedroom home on 707 square metres delivered the space and layout modern families are chasing—large open living, double garage and a well-established block in a quiet court location.
Golden Square, always a reliable performer, saw two noteworthy results this week. Bec Allen of McKean McGregor closed the sale of 44 Maple Street for $615,000, a three-bedroom home on a large 1,293 square metre block that appealed to buyers eyeing future development or generous outdoor space. Meanwhile, Jenny Donaldson of Professionals Bendigo sold 17 Druid Street for $535,000, another well-positioned family home that attracted competitive interest.
Golden Square continues to offer a balance of affordability, location and amenity that keeps it top of mind for both local buyers and investors.
Kangaroo Flat Balances Entry-Level and Downsizer Demand
Kangaroo Flat delivered two contrasting but equally meaningful results this week. At the more affordable end, Adam Hutton of McKean McGregor sold 92/1–31 Furness Street—a two-bedroom retirement living unit—for $265,000, highlighting steady demand in the downsizer and over-55s market.
Just a few streets away, Darren Waters of PH Property managed the sale of 15 Benjamin Street for $488,600. This three-bedroom home on a 625 square metre block with three-car parking presented solid value for young families and first-home buyers entering the market.
These sales show Kangaroo Flat’s ongoing versatility, catering to a wide demographic with its schools, shopping hubs and public transport access.
Ascot, Kennington and White Hills Round Out the Middle Market
In Ascot, Ben Crooks of West Edge Real Estate finalised the sale of 4/76 Taylor Street for $499,000. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a low-maintenance block, the property was well suited to both investors and downsizers looking to secure a modern footprint in a quiet residential setting.
Tim Noonan of Belle Property secured $400,000 for 1/76 Sternberg Street, Kennington, a two-bedroom property with three-car parking on over 500 square metres. This result reflects Kennington’s steady appeal as a professional and retiree-friendly suburb, offering proximity to both the city and Strath Village.
Meanwhile in White Hills, Jaydn Docherty of PRD Bendigo sold 6 Cambridge Crescent for $520,777. This four-bedroom home with four-car accommodation presented a compelling value proposition to growing families seeking more space in a suburb known for its schools and amenities.
Entry-Level Units Move Quickly in North Bendigo and Long Gully
At the more affordable end of the spectrum, two sales stood out this week for their value and accessibility.
Hayden Youngson of Bendigo Ballarat Real Estate secured $357,500 for 41 John Street, North Bendigo, a compact three-bedroom home with dual car accommodation that appealed to first-time buyers and investors alike. Youngson also managed the sale of 2/19 Buckley Street, Long Gully for $350,000, a tidy two-bedroom unit that reflects the rising competition for low-maintenance properties under $400,000.
These transactions underline continued investor activity and the strong demand for sub-$400,000 housing in fringe suburbs with reliable rental return potential.
Market Insight
As we move into May, the Bendigo market remains active across all segments. From large acreage holdings to compact investment units, buyers are responding swiftly to homes that offer location, condition and value. Agent activity has remained high, and properties are still achieving quick turnarounds when priced appropriately.
Across the board, there is clear evidence that mid-range homes between $500,000 and $650,000 are seeing the most competition, especially in family-oriented suburbs. At the same time, the $300,000 to $400,000 range remains hot for units and smaller homes, driven by investors and first-home buyers.
Outlook for the Weeks Ahead
The Bendigo market is entering a traditionally quieter listing period as winter approaches, but buyer enquiry levels remain healthy. Sellers who present well-maintained properties at realistic prices are still likely to see strong interest.
Whether you are looking to upsize, downsize or invest, Bendigo continues to provide variety, value and resilience in equal measure.
