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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $600,000 (7 Apr 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 728 m² against a 158 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Orelia (last 5 years) with land size: median $927/m² of land (n=116). 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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 728 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $549/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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 728 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • 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?

    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.

Situated on a peaceful and elevated street with parkland to the front and extensive natural bushland to the back, this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home occupies a 728sqm standing, with paved gardens to the rear yard, and a choice of comfortable living options within. Combining its original 1970's charm with some modern updates, a formal lounge sits to the front of the home with sliding door access to the kitchen and casual dining to the central island bench, while a generous games room and additional living area sits to the rear. Situated a quick stroll from the local retail precinct with its handy deli and dining options, you are just a short drive from central Kwinana with its fully stocked shopping centre and variety of recreational facilities, while a choice of schooling and educational options are easily within reach, with the train station equally close by for straightforward travel to the Perth CBD and surrounds.

A sweeping driveway extends within the sheltered carport for plenty of parking potential, before a roller door offers drive through access, while the spacious front garden is a blank canvas and open to opportunity. A peaceful covered porch sits to the front of the home, providing a spacious area to relax whilst overlooking the parkland opposite, with security screening to the front door and a light and bright foyer on entry. Sliding doors to the left provide access to your formal lounge, with timber effect flooring, a feature fireplace and effective split system air conditioning unit, while also furnished with the same high ceilings and ducted air conditioning that extends throughout. Another set of sliding doors open to reveal the modern kitchen, with a central freestanding island bench allowing casual dining within, with an extensive range of crisp white cabinetry and storage, in-built stainless-steel appliances and sweeping counter space.

Heading to the right, a dual door storage closet sits to the hallway, before you enter your first of three bedrooms, with a ceiling fan, full height sliding door robe and timber effect flooring. Your generously sized bathroom sits opposite with floor to ceiling tiling, a glass shower enclosure and bath, with a vanity and WC included, while bedrooms 2 and 3 complete the hallway, both spacious by design with ceiling fans overhead and sliding door robes to one.

Toward the rear of the home you find your laundry, with original tiling to the floor, open storage and a second WC, while a multi-purpose room next door offering more space to enjoy, before leading to a substantial living space or games room, with timber effect flooring and another effective split system air conditioning unit.

A sheltered patio runs along the rear of the home, with views to the garden and paving to the floor that extends throughout for multiple entertaining options across the backyard. Raised garden beds sit across multiple levels to the fence line, creating a tiered effect to the garden, with a central stairway allowing access to yet more paved areas and established greenery, while you have drive through access from the carport, and a rainwater tank for efficiency.

And the reason why this property is your perfect fit? Because this absolute hidden gems offers an updated interior for family living, with private and peaceful gardens to enjoy.
