Given the $485,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $485,000(Listing record · 1 May 2026)
  • FactLand 2,006 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationAsk is 63% below the Chidlow median recorded sale ($1,327,500, n=22, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Chidlow's advertised median rent ($681/wk), implied gross yield would be 7.30% — 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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Western Australia schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Source

  • Provider: unavailable
  • Dataset: unavailable

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

Capital growth

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 2,006 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $681/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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 7.3%. 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

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 2,006 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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.

Read the full description

The semi-rural community lifestyle you've been seeking is now within reach. Easy reach, in fact! This rare release of 40 half-acre blocks within the new community of The Quarters, in Chidlow, is your opportunity to tick all the boxes when it comes to Hills living - strong community connections, a focus on nature and wildlife habitat preservation, space for children to play and grow, and maintaining ties to history while always looking toward the future. Select the block that speaks to you, build a home you'll adore, and settle into a life of freedom, adventure, joy, and peace for you and your family.

With a focus on preserving the natural beauty and fascinating history of the region, The Quarters is a unique opportunity to build a home that your family will cherish - not just for the immediate future but for future generations. Kids will grow and thrive amongst the fresh air and gorgeous bushland surrounds, while having space to play and a close-knit community they can feel safe in.

You'll cherish friendships forged through chats over the fence and quiz nights at the Tav. Or why not treat yourselves to a night out at The Standard Guage, delicious dishes created by Michelin star Chef Alan Wise. Weekend mornings will be spent enjoying coffee and beautiful breakfasts at Café Chidlow, then heading across the road so the kids can shred it up at the skate park. And in the warmer months, Lake Leschenaultia will be calling your name for an afternoon BBQ and canoeing adventure.

History buffs will appreciate the proximity of the Chidlow WWII Army Camps in which distinctive directional signs, personal items and name tags belonging to soldiers were uncovered and returned to families. And anyone with an appreciation for nature will be in their element here amongst the towering gums. The developers have implemented an environmentally friendly Tree Preservation Plan to preserve as much remnant bush and native wildlife habitat as possible.

Features Include:

• Ring-lock fencing on all sides, post and rail corners and a farm gate

• Simple covenants and design guidelines to retain the rural aesthetics

• Power, water, and NBN all available

• Tree preservation of significant trees

• Crossovers in place

• Finished for BAL of 19 or lower (as per the Bushfire Management Plan)

• Titles estimated June/July 2026

Close enough to Midland for maximum convenience but far enough to ensure a secluded, semi-rural lifestyle, The Quarters is the best of Chidlow. Precious old-growth forests have been retained to ensure habitat for wildlife and stunning surroundings. Historic artefacts have been unearthed and cherished for posterity. Fences and utilities have been installed for simplicity and ease of development. And your half-acre block? That's where the real magic awaits. Build smart to capitalise on the pretty outlooks, embrace opportunities to be Waterwise and solar-passive, and live in harmony with nature, and you'll be patting yourself on the back for years yet to come.
