What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $435,000 (16 Feb 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,013 m² against a 98 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Yankalilla (last 5 years) with land size: median $627/m² of land (n=32). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $508/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Coastal Cottage Gold with Crystal Ball Potential

If our hearts skipped a beat, so will yours. Give this modest 1-bedder all due renovation respect and watch it evolve into a homely coastal getaway some 30 scenic minutes from McLaren Vale.

The solid brick 1950s cottage sits a short hop from Yankalilla's small town main street, bakery, hotel, and the sigh-out-loud shorelines of Carrickalinga and Normanville, dwarfed by its sweeping 1013sqm (approx.) corner parcel.

Perhaps you'll explore its subdivision potential (STPC) or include this entire rare piece of real estate with a magical pine forest finale into your crystal ball plans.

Read the full description

Plans that hinge on its rustic originality with pine floors, picture panes, a cosy combustion fire and a Wetters wood fire kitchen stove, plus an expansive living and sitting room, sunned by radiant, dappled light, ready to incorporate a 2nd bedroom if required.

The block's desirable North-South aspect and deep backyard could also pave the way for an addition or entertainer's deck.

It won't take long to align your mood to these surrounds. Emerge from your quiet solitude to cast eyes to the hills, follow the setting sun to the sand, or take a discovery drive for countless breweries, wineries, distilleries, and the rugged natural wonders of Cape Jervis, Rapid Bay, and Deep Creek Conservation Park.

Before they double-tap an Airbnb elsewhere, treat yourself or paying tourists to a charming Symonds Street revision.
