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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $560,000 (15 July 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 430 m² against a 80 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Paralowie (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,292/m² of land (n=130). 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.
  • FactZoned General Neighbourhood (GN) under the Planning and Design Code.(Location SA · 31 Aug 2026)

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. 1No 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?

Confidence: low

Zoned General Neighbourhood · GN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 431 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.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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 $582/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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownlow

    Zoned General Neighbourhood · GN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 431 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. 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?

    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.

Move-In Ready in a Tightly Held Paralowie Pocket — Torrens Title

Proudly presented by Marco Fellegvari and Buri Son of eXp Realty, this is a rare and versatile opportunity in a tightly held pocket of Paralowie — offering privacy, practicality and immediate liveability for downsizers, first-home buyers and investors alike.

Importantly, this is a Torrens Title home — which means no strata or community fees. While semi-detached, the dwelling is only joined at a single wall; you own the land, the home and everything on it outright. That's a significant advantage and a genuine point of difference at this price point.

Smartly set back from the street with peace and quiet in mind, the home has been freshly painted throughout and is presented in genuine move-in condition. The owners have recently tidied and refreshed the property, so there's nothing to do but move in. An intelligent floor plan delivers open-plan living designed for the modern lifestyle, with comfortable proportions and an easy connection between the indoor and outdoor zones.

Read the full description

At the heart of the home sits the updated return kitchen — complete with ample bench space and cupboards, cooktop and oven. Positioned beside the meals area with direct access to the alfresco, it's the natural hub for everyday living and entertaining. The adjoining living space is filled with beautiful natural light.

The neat main bathroom is centrally located, complete with shower, WC and vanity. The large master bedroom features floor-to-ceiling built-in robes, and both the master and second bedroom are positioned to the rear of the home for added privacy.

Outdoors, the home keeps giving: a front porch, side alfresco, rear verandah and pergola. The expansive driveway flows right through to the rear, opening up to a carport, adjoining verandah, pergola and double garage. A generous rear shed suits handymen, hobbyists or tradespeople, and the established gardens are easy-care from front to back. All up, the home boasts an impressive approx. 212m² of total undercover area — taking in the living, garaging, shedding, pergola and verandahs — which is a genuinely rare offering for a property of this size and a standout in this pocket.

Location

Tucked into a quiet, established street, you're superbly positioned to make the most of everything Paralowie and the greater Salisbury district has to offer.

Shopping: Local shops are minutes away, with Parabanks Shopping Centre and the Hollywood Plaza a short drive for your major retail, dining and services.

Schools: Well served by local schools including Betheny R-12, Paralowie School (R–12) close by, plus Salisbury North Primary and Salisbury High within easy reach — ideal for growing families.

Transport: Train services off Kings Road at Parafield Gardens put an easy, traffic-free commute into the Adelaide CBD right at your doorstep.

Freeway: Quick 5-minute access to the freeway for fast north–south travel across the metro.

Lifestyle: Local parks and reserves nearby for the kids and the dog, in a pocket that's tightly held for good reason.

It's a location that genuinely suits everyone — easy living for downsizers, an affordable, low-maintenance entry for first-home buyers, and strong fundamentals for investors.
