Given the $1,300,000–$1,395,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,300,000–$1,395,000(Listing record · 26 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 408 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded Townhouse sales in Ocean Grove (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,813/m² of land (n=7). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Ocean Grove's advertised median rent ($584/wk), implied gross yield would be 2.34% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned GENERAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE - SCHEDULE 2 (GRZ2) under the ZN.(Vicmap Planning · 2 Sept 2026)

What could make it worth less?

  • FactDESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 14 intersects 99.8% of this parcel.(Vicmap Planning · 2 Sept 2026)
  • FactPROTECTED SETTLEMENT BOUNDARY intersects 99.8% of this parcel.(Vicmap Planning · 2 Sept 2026)

What should you verify next?

  1. 1DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 14 affects this parcel — verify the mapped extent against the title / planning certificate before relying on unaffected land.
  2. 2PROTECTED SETTLEMENT BOUNDARY affects this parcel — verify the mapped extent against the title / planning certificate before relying on unaffected land.
  3. 3No 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?

Confidence: medium

Zoned GENERAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE - SCHEDULE 2 · GRZ2 (ZN). Official parcel area about 411 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: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 14; PROTECTED SETTLEMENT BOUNDARY. 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 $584/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 2.3%. 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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned GENERAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE - SCHEDULE 2 · GRZ2 (ZN). Official parcel area about 411 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.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

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

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

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

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownlow

    The listing may look cheap relative to land or the street. What reduces it: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 14; PROTECTED SETTLEMENT BOUNDARY. Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    No DA adapter returned applications 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.
