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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $355,000 (21 Feb 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 654 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Orbost (last 5 years) with land size: median $423/m² of land (n=91). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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.

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 $325/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. 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.

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.

Renovated Californian Bungalow

With yesteryear old world charm, this California Bungalow has been tastefully refurbished inside and out. Preserving the features of the past whilst blending with a modern kitchen and two bathrooms, this home has a nice mix of old and new. The home sits on a corner block of 654 m2, conveniently located across the road from Orbost Primary School and a stone's throw from supermarkets and cafes. With a low maintenance fully fenced yard with side access, the property would make an ideal investment as a residential tenancy or even as an Air-BNB. The property may also suit first home buyers or retirees, with most facilities only a short walk.

With a nice street appeal, there is a covered veranda at the front of the home…a great spot to enjoy a cuppa at the start of the day. A covered deck at the rear with a glass sliding door for easy access from the driveway entrance. The home includes three bedrooms, the master with an ensuite, large kitchen and separate lounge room. There is floating flooring in the kitchen, all new carpets in the lounge room and bedrooms and a built-in robe in the third bedroom. There is an ensuite off the master bedroom and the main bathroom has been cleverly combined with the laundry to maximise space. The kitchen is the heart of the home and this has an electric stove, range hood and dishwasher, plenty of cupboards and benches and enough room for a small dining setting. The backyard has a garden shed and plenty of room for kids and pets to play. The home has been re-wired and has concrete stumps with hardwood flooring.

Orbost has a strong demand for rental properties whether it's a long-term tenant or Air-BNB. The town is only a fifteen-minute drive to the coastal destination of Marlo for water activities and fishing. Orbost has a regional hospital, primary schools, secondary college and a shopping strip with cafes, supermarkets, banks and variety stores. Lakes Entrance is only around a forty-five minute drive to the Gippsland Lakes and Ninety Mile Beach. Orbost is situated around a four and a half hours' drive from Melbourne or Canberra which makes this a very convenient location.
