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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,200,000 (19 Feb 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 951 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Albany Creek (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,585/m² of land (n=133). 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

QLD

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.” 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 $727/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.

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

    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?

    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.

SOLD BY DAVID KOPELKE - REMAX NOW

Rare Elevated Diamond in the Rough with Untapped Potential!

Positioned high in a quiet, tightly held cul-de-sac, with elevated treetop views and sitting on a generous 951m² block, this large family home presents a rare opportunity to secure space, outlook and the chance to add real value in one of Albany Creek's most sought-after streets. Homes with this combination of land size, elevation and location are becoming increasingly hard to find - particularly at an entry point that allows buyers to improve and personalise over time.

The home offers generous proportions, multiple living areas and a flexible multi-level layout that lends itself well to renovation and reimagining. Hardwood flooring, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, and spacious living zones offer a practical starting point, while the seamless connection to the large covered outdoor entertaining area captures peaceful treetop views - a standout feature that future updates will only enhance.

Read the full description

Downstairs, additional utility spaces, a bathroom and a separate retreat zone add further flexibility, offering plenty of options for families, teenagers or future redesign.

Outside, the scale of the block truly sets this property apart. The expansive, multi-level backyard, established greenery and existing pool footprint highlight the long-term potential of the land, whether your plans include outdoor entertaining upgrades, landscaping improvements or a complete transformation over time.

Whether you're a first-home buyer looking to break into a premium Albany Creek location, a builder or renovator seeking a well-located fixer-upper with scope to improve, or a buyer who understands the value of buying land with room to grow, this is an opportunity that deserves serious consideration. Properties like this, in streets like this, are tightly held and rarely offered to the market.

WHAT WE LOVE

- Four bedrooms, all with built-in-robes

- Oversized main bedroom with walk-in-robe, ensuite and private retreat with expansive views.

- Large open plan kitchen, living and dining areas with high ceilings and capturing an elevated outlook.

- Approx. 30-35 minutes walk to All Saints Primary School, Good Shepherd Christian School and Albany Creek State School.

- Convenient access to major arterial roads.

- Within 15 minutes drive to Aspley Hypermarket, Westfield Chermside, Stafford Shopping Centre, Brookside Shopping Centre, Strathpine Shopping Centre, Prince Charles Hospital and Carseldine Train Station for a relaxing commute into the Brisbane CBD.

Be quick to inspect - opportunities like this are rarely offered. With so much untapped potential, an exceptional elevated position and a large block, this is your chance to buy well and create something special in one of Albany Creek's most tightly held streets.
