No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: South Australia schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Magill's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
SAPlanning 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $639/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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
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
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.

Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?

Listing material
Listed by Harris Real Estate Kent TownSet on a commanding 610sqm parcel, 16 Colton Avenue brings together a mid-century classic, a backyard brimming with possibility, and an eastern suburbs address that makes every version of the future look good.
Set back from the street, its C1940 cream brick frontage wears its vintage beautifully. Inside, polished timber floors run underfoot, high ceilings rise overhead, and picture windows draw natural light into a footprint with genuine room to move.
A generous front lounge gets things going around the character of its original mantle, before the floorplan rolls into a flexible second living zone and rear study, delivering enough separation to keep everyone happy.
A sit-in kitchen keeps itself at the centre of proceedings, while four well-proportioned bedrooms ensure every configuration is catered for. Add a family bathroom, separate WC, and dedicated laundry, and there's every reason to simply move in and enjoy what's already here.
But 610sqm has a habit of getting you thinking.
Step outside and the full scale of the opportunity reveals itself in a sweep of fully fenced lawn and garden, with additional shedding and secure carport parking take care of the practicalities without eating into the possibilities.
Push the existing footprint deeper into the block, drop in a pool or alfresco that turns summer into entertaining season, start fresh with your forever home, or put the scale itself to work and investigate its subdivision and redevelopment potential (STCC).
The best part? There's no rush to decide. Live comfortably in the home that's already here, lease it while the land does its thing, renovate when inspiration strikes, or go bigger when the timing feels right - this is a property happy to play the long game with you.
Then there's Magill, already doing its part. Morning coffee at Hibernia, everyday essentials from Romeo's Foodland, boutique shopping and cafés along Magill Road, The Parade just minutes away, and the CBD within an easy commute - it's an address that makes leaving the house just as rewarding as coming home.
Whatever your end game, 16 Colton Avenue gives you the space to play it your way.
