Navigate local property complexities with confidence
One of the biggest projects in Bundoora is the 149 McKimmies Road development: a large infill residential precinct being built on a disused quarry. It aims to deliver a mix of housing and significant landscaping, leveraging its proximity to RMIT Bundoora, DFO Uni Hill, and the Metropolitan Ring Road.
While Bundoora has good connectivity via roads and public transport, traffic congestion, especially on major arterials like Plenty Road and near freeway interchanges, can be a challenge. Buyers should assess commute times and available public transport from specific locations.
Some properties will be under planning overlays that affect what you can build, modify or develop (e.g. overlays related to land use, environment, or design). Also, because much of the growth is infill or near old industrial/quarry land, there may be site constraints or remediation needed.
There’s a wide mix: detached houses on larger blocks, medium-density townhouses, and increasing numbers of apartment complexes, particularly in new developments. Buyers in established areas may see more character homes, whereas newer zones are trending denser.
Median house price $850,000. Competitive market with relatively steady prices.
Median unit price $450,000. Steadily growing market with lots of interest from buyers.

Most contracts settle in 30, 60 or 90 days. Timing depends on what’s agreed in the contract, your finance approval, and any special conditions (e.g., building/pest). We drive the process, keep everyone aligned, and let you know if anything could affect your settlement date.
