  • FactLand 721 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Burwood East (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,239/m² of land (n=51). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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 $629/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

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

    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.

The Block, The Location, The Opportunity

OPPORTUNITY

Positioned on a generous 720.5sqm allotment in one of Burwood East's most tightly held pockets, this classic brick veneer home presents a genuinely exciting proposition. Whether you are a family looking to move straight in, a renovator ready to add your personal touch, or a developer with an eye for potential, the combination of land, location and liveability makes this an opportunity not to be overlooked (STCA).

PROPERTY

Read the full description

Introduced by a sweeping stamped concrete driveway framed by lush, established hedging and garden beds, the home immediately signals its generous proportions and solid construction. A leadlight security door and decorative stained glass entry door set an elegant tone from the outset. Inside, a spacious combined living and dining room forms the heart of the home, warmed by a gas fireplace with brick surround and built in shelving, and kept comfortable year round by a split system air conditioner. Crown moulding, dual chandeliers and a bold feature wall add character throughout.

Three well proportioned bedrooms accommodate the whole family with ease. The master and secondary bedroom each enjoy bay windows, quality carpet and ample natural light, while the third features a full height built in wardrobe and pendant lighting. A centrally located bathroom services the home with a full sized bathtub, updated toilet suite, timber vanity and bright white tiling throughout. The functional original kitchen offers ample bench and cupboard space, gas cooking and a separate laundry leading to the rear, a blank canvas for those with renovation vision.

Out back, a large covered pergola provides a ready made entertaining space overlooking an established rear garden with a curved stone pathway, mature plantings and a sizeable lawn, offering plenty of room for children, pets, or your future dream extension (STCA). A brick lock up garage with rear access completes a well rounded package with serious upside.

LOCATION

Enjoy the best of Melbourne's eastern corridor from this outstanding address. Walk to local parks, bus stops and schools, with Burwood One Shopping Centre just moments away for everyday essentials. The iconic Brickworks Marketplace is within easy reach for dining, specialty retail and weekend browsing, while the vibrant Blackburn village precinct, loved for its cafés, eateries and train station, is just a short drive. EastLink, Box Hill and Whitehorse Road arterials provide seamless connectivity across the city and beyond.
