Buying property in Bendigo is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will make. But with interest rates and market headlines changing all the time, it’s no surprise that many buyers are asking the same question: should I buy now or wait?There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The right decision depends on your goals, your budget, and how long you plan to hold the property. Here’s how I help clients make a clear call based on facts, not fear.
1. Waiting can cost you more
Prices in Bendigo have been climbing steadily. Delaying your decision by a year could mean paying thirty to fifty thousand dollars more for the same type of home. On top of that, you lose valuable time that could have been spent building equity or earning rental income.
2. You can’t time interest rates perfectly
Some buyers are holding off, hoping interest rates will fall. But no one can predict the exact timing. What matters more is buying a quality property at a fair price that fits your budget. Interest rates will rise and fall over time, but a smart buy will hold value for the long term.
3. Bendigo’s market remains strong
There is still strong demand across first home buyers, families, and investors. Properties are selling quickly and rental vacancies remain low. That means Bendigo continues to attract people who want space, lifestyle and solid returns.
4. The right time is when you are ready
The best time to buy is when you have your finances organised and feel confident about your next steps. If you wait for a perfect moment, you may miss the opportunity that was already in front of you.
5. You don’t have to figure this out alone
