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.

Terrain

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, bushfire and heritage

Flood

Not retrieved

Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.

Bushfire

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no bushfire risk zone was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Heritage

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

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 819 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

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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 $823/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.

2 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 819 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 821 m² — land size can look like optionality. 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.

Read the full description

Beyond double front entry doors lies a sunken formal lounge that is carpeted for comfort and splendidly overlooked by the tiled formal-dining room. Also tiled is a stylish kitchen - and adjacent casual-meals area - dominated by sparkling granite bench tops and complemented by a central island bench, a walk-in pantry, an appliance nook, a range hood, electric cooktop, separate oven, tiled splashbacks, a double fridge/freezer recess, double sinks and a sleek white dishwasher to finish things off rather nicely.

The latter overlooks a sunken and carpeted family room that defines relaxation and precedes two separate single French doors leading into a fantastic theatre room - also carpeted for complete comfort. Downstairs, you will also find a carpeted study, the fourth bedroom and a fully-tiled third or "guest" bathroom with a shower, vanity and more.

Upstairs, a terrific carpeted retreat extends everybody's personal living options with its built-in linen storage and access out onto a large tiled balcony - from where the sweeping vista (and those sensual sea breezes) can be best absorbed. The pick of the remaining bedrooms up here has to be a sublime master suite that is more than spacious, boasts a walk-in wardrobe, allows you to soak up a lovely view from bed and comprises of an exemplary fully-tiled ensuite with gorgeous French doors, a shower, bubbling spa bath, vanity and separate toilet. The fully-tiled main family bathroom services the spare bedrooms and has a separate bath and shower for good measure.

Outdoors, the largely-paved backyard area is headlined by a fabulous covered entertaining alfresco off the meals space - protective drop-down café blinds and all. The other side of the alfresco covers a low-maintenance backyard artificial turf patch that kids and pets can take full advantage of, in the company of relatively easy-care gardens.

Nestled just a few minutes away from both beautiful Mawson Park and the magnificent Hillarys Boat Harbour in the sought-after "Whitfords Beach Estate", this exceptional home is also perched in between the Hillarys Primary and St Mark's Anglican Community Schools, is footsteps from bus stops, medical facilities, restaurants and Westfield Whitford City Shopping Centre and finds itself situated very close to the beach, as well.
