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

VIC

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned GENERAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE - SCHEDULE 1 · GRZ1 (ZN). Official parcel area about 586 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. The listing may look cheap relative to land or the street. What reduces it: SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPE OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 9; DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS PLAN OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 1. Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack. 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 $577/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

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.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownlow

    The listing may look cheap relative to land or the street. What reduces it: SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPE OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 9; DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS PLAN OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 1. Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack.

A winning combination!

With prices skyrocketing 16.4% throughout 2021 in Melbourne's East, it's no wonder that so many people are looking to find savings where they can. Buying a brand new home has its setbacks; you pay more stamp duty than you would if you purchased land and built on it. You also don't have the ability to custom design the floor plan and style to suit your family's needs.

Enter 113 Mahoneys Road Forest Hill, an original condition 1960's home. Mahoneys Road is a perfect example of the type of property you want to seek when building a new home. The 583m2 of land (approx.) reduces the chance of competing with developers who're looking to develop multiple units. Combine this with a generally flat block, which will help you save on building costs, and you've got a winning formula.

Furthermore, consider the potential to 'land bank' the property in the event your circumstances change. Having the ability to rent the property out while getting plans and permits approved or while waiting for the land value to increase adds a level of protection to your investment. Finding a tenant will be a breeze, as this property features two separate living zones, and it is in close proximity to Forest Hill Chase shopping centre.
