What should you verify next?

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

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned General Residential · 113.8 (Glenorchy Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 561 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. 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 $588/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 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

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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned General Residential · 113.8 (Glenorchy Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 561 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

    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?

    Knownmedium

    No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • 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.

Austins Ferry - Three Bedrooms, Two Bathrooms and Room to Move

Ant's "Fluff-Free" Description...

Some homes just make sense.

This is one of them.

Read the full description

Set on a level corner block of approximately 559m2, this renovated 1951 home gives you the right mix of comfort, space and practicality - without needing a treasure map to find the backyard.

The Good Stuff:

* Freestanding 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home

* House area approximately 120m2

* Renovated around 2020

* Brick and cement cladding construction

* New Colorbond roof

* Spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area

* Heat pump for year-round comfort

* Kitchen with good bench space, breakfast bar and included Hisense fridge that fits the spot perfectly

* Master bedroom with robe and ensuite

* Two additional bedrooms, both well positioned away from the main bedroom

* Main bathroom with bath, shower and toilet

* Separate laundry

* Deck area for BBQs, coffees or pretending you garden more than you actually do

* Fire pit area

* Vegie patch

* Decent yard space for kids, pets or both

* 6m x 6m garage/shed

* Parking for one vehicle in the garage plus additional off-street parking for two

* Corner block position

* Easy access to local schools, shops, transport and major road links

Why Buyers Will Like It:

* First home buyers get space, updates and a proper yard

* Families get three bedrooms, two bathrooms and room to move

* Investors get a neat, practical home in a strong growth corridor

* Downsizers get single-level living without giving up the shed and outdoor space

The Bottom Line:

14 Merley Road is neat, updated, practical and easy to live in.

It is not trying to be a palace.

It is doing something far more useful - offering a comfortable home, a sensible layout, proper outdoor space and the kind of everyday practicality buyers actually care about.

And frankly, that is much better than pretending a tiny courtyard is an "alfresco lifestyle precinct."

Snap it up before someone else does.

Onwards and upwards to your Austins Ferry cracker!
