Given the $1,150,000–$1,240,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,150,000–$1,240,000(Listing record · 4 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 2,667 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Montrose (last 5 years) with land size: median $905/m² of land (n=102). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 18% above the Montrose median recorded sale ($975,000, n=28, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Montrose's advertised median rent ($608/wk), implied gross yield would be 2.75% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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.

Verify with your conveyancer.

Capital growth

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $608/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 2.7%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Listing material

Listed by Bell Real Estate Montrose

Views, Versatility and a Backyard with a Secret

From its elevated position on the high side of the road, this remarkable Montrose home looks across Christmas Hills and the Yarra Ranges, with treetop views by day and sunsets putting on a nightly encore. Set across approximately 2/3 acre, it feels wonderfully removed from the world, yet the #688 bus stops almost at the doorstep and Montrose Village is only moments away.

Originally built as a builder’s own home, the residence carries that sense of generous scale and thoughtful flexibility. Spread across two substantial levels, it is designed for families who entertain, evolve and occasionally need everyone to have their own corner. Multi-generational living, guest accommodation or Airbnb potential are all comfortably within reach.

Polished floors gleam through the expansive living and dining zone, where a spectacular open fireplace with stone surround brings warmth and theatre. A built-in bar keeps entertaining close at hand, while a wall of glass and French doors open to a lavish terrace overlooking the gardens and the ranges.

Read the full description

The skylit kitchen sits beside a second meals area, also bathed in light and warmed by a Coonara wood fire. Stone benchtops, a bay window, breakfast bar, appliance hutch, dishwasher, 900mm gas cooktop and electric oven make it equally capable of handling the weeknight rush or a houseful at Christmas. A covered all-season deck set against a ranges backdrop extends the entertaining space outdoors.

Four bedrooms include a main featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite plus access to the front balcony. Three further bedrooms share a beautifully renovated family bathroom with a deep soaking bath. Both bathrooms feature chic floating vanities, LED mirrors and rain showers with recessed niches.

Behind the bar, a hidden staircase reveals an entire lower-level retreat with its own entrance, living zone, projector and screen, plus a bathroom. It is a brilliant surprise for adult children, extended family, guests or movie nights that deserve full cinematic commitment.

Then there is the backyard. Beyond the expansive lawn, established gardens and fruit trees lies a full-sized surprise: a tennis court ready for matches, basketball, bikes, parties or a marquee. Add birdsong, camellias, rhododendrons and endless sky, and this becomes the house every family member, and probably every neighbourhood child, wants to gather at.

• Elevated north-facing position on approximately two-thirds of an acre

• Sweeping views across Christmas Hills and the Yarra Ranges
