Given the $780,000–$830,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $780,000–$830,000(Listing record · 4 May 2026)
  • FactLand 296 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Lilydale (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,112/m² of land (n=102). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 13% below the Lilydale median recorded sale ($900,000, n=38, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Lilydale's advertised median rent ($606/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.04% — 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.

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 $606/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 4.0%. 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

    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.

Elevated Living with a View to Match

There’s a certain magic that comes with elevation… a sense of space, light, and those ever-changing views that quietly anchor your day. Positioned at the front of just two and only four years young, this sophisticated Lilydale home captures that feeling beautifully, pairing modern design with a lifestyle that feels both connected and effortless.

From the street, the rendered façade and landscaped gardens set a polished tone, softened by natural rock accents and a sun-kissed stepped deck that invites you to pause and take in the sweeping outlook across the Dandenong Ranges and Lilydale Lake. It’s the kind of view that never quite loses its novelty.

Inside, the home unfolds across a cleverly considered layout. The main living zone sits on the ground floor, where warm timber floating floors, crisp plantation shutters and a calming palette create an inviting, light-filled space. The kitchen is both practical and social, featuring stainless-steel appliances, gas cooktop and peninsula seating - equally suited to busy mornings or slow, shared meals.

Read the full description

The main bedroom is positioned on this level, offering a private retreat complete with a generous walk-in robe and a beautifully finished ensuite with full tiling and a double vanity.

Downstairs, two additional bedrooms with robes and double blinds provide quiet, comfortable accommodation, serviced by a sleek family bathroom with bath and shower. A laundry and internal access to the double garage add everyday ease, while a powder room upstairs caters to guests.

Outside, a neat lawn at the rear offers space for pets or play, while the front deck becomes a favourite spot for morning coffee or sunset unwinding.

With schools, Main Street cafés, Lilydale Lake and transport all within walking distance, this is modern living elevated - in every sense.
