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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $445,000 (23 Oct 2017).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 700 m² against a 157 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Balhannah (last 5 years) with land size: median $837/m² of land (n=42). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

SA

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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

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. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

A one-owner forever home; over to you...

Barely a sidestep from the pretty and historic hub of Balhannah, there's a beautiful vintage to this conventional family home too; 700sqm of established grounds, a meticulously cared for and owner built property some 38 years in the making.Many family filled albums later, it's time to turn the page.Opening a new chapter, you'll appreciate the modern upgrades added over time; the fourth bedroom/study addition, the timber kitchen with Chef appliances and ASKO dishwasher, new bathroom, updated laundry, and new carpets.And if the subtle interiors, picturesque outlooks through floor-to-ceiling front windows, and relaxed floorplan doesn't steer your family buyer gaze to Balhannah, then the outdoor pavilion will...Introducing a pitched, all-weather patio hosting ceiling fans and a water feature creating a recipe of year-round, family ambience you'll remember.Enclosed and private, it's a protected haven where indoors magically merge to out via dual sets of sliding doors. Exit from the dining, or enter from the casual family room. In between, a galley style kitchen dishes the goods in both directions. On-trend style brings bathroom happiness to the family suite and separate WC - situated a tiptoe from the front-facing, tranquil space of your master bedroom. Two further bedrooms each with built-ins surface alongside the family room and kitchen. And in 38 years, gardens become glorious; lawns front and rear frame landscaped, fully watered grounds of foraging pleasure; fruit trees, veggies and passionfruit vines with pops of colour courtesy of the liquidambar, camellias, roses, and bulbs.A concrete driveway arrival for multiple cars meets a double length carport. Rear shedding equipped for the handyman, plus a pet and child-friendly fenced rear garden; this home can withstand the rough and tumble of any generation.Which is just as well you'll find local shopping, community tennis courts, and Oakbank Area School close by, along with easy access to the freeway, Hahndorf, and Woodside.Settle in, you'll stay a while...More reasons to inspect this home:-New bathroom & updated laundry (2012/2013) -2 outdoor entertaining areas - one all-weather-4 bedrooms with BIR's-New carpets (2015)-ASKO dishwasher-Daikin split system air conditioner-Rinnai gas space heater-Rinnai Instantaneous Gas Hot Water Service (installed 2017)-13,500L capacity plumbed rainwater -Fully fenced & established gardens-Drippers & micro sprayers-Shedding/workshopAdcock Real Estate - RLA66526Andrew Adcock 0418 816 874 Nikki Seppelt 0437 658 067*Whilst every endeavour has been made to verify the correct details in this marketing neither the agent, vendor or contracted illustrator take any responsibility for any omission, wrongful inclusion, misdescription or typographical error in this marketing material.
