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 Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 327 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 $621/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 Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 327 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.

Listing material

Nestled in a fantastic location and suitable for a range of buyers...

Located in a prime position in the heart of the amazing McLaren Vale township amongst other quality near new homes, within a short stroll to a number of cafes, shops and restaurants, this property offers a lifestyle that is worth some serious consideration.

Built in 2014, this extremely neat home is located on a very quiet street. It is only meters away from the McLaren Vale Piazza that leads into the Main Street with easy access to all that this fabulous town has to offer.

There is a neat easy care front yard and a double driveway that leads into a double garage located under the main roof and accessed via an automated panel lift door. The front portico provides access into the entrance hallway that leads past the spacious main bedroom located at the front of the home. There is a walk-in robe and a good sized ensuite bathroom with a large vanity.

Read the full description

Further down the entry hall is private and secure internal access from the double garage and then you flow into what is an impressive open plan section of the home that includes a separate dining/meals area, a well appointed galley style kitchen and a living/lounge room at the rear with a sneaky view of the hills and iconic local vineyards in the distance.

The kitchen comes with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, oven and a gas cook top with range hood. There is good cupboard and bench space including breakfast bar seating. There are sliding glass doors that lead out from the kitchen to a very private outdoor entertaining area which is nice and the kitchen does overlook the lounge room or living area that is located in the rear section of the home.

Down the hallway is where you'll find bedrooms 2 and 3, both come with built-in robes and are serviced by a very neat conventional main bathroom, a separate laundry room and a separate toilet.

This home has loads of storage which is great, there is a ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system that can be zoned to designated areas when required.

Outside has a private outdoor area for either entertaining or relaxing and there is an easy care rear yard with a lawn area and a small garden/tool shed. The entire property is very well fenced making it suitable for young couples or families, a great downsize option or an ideal investment opportunity.

This location and the lifestyle that comes with it are one that should be seriously considered. For any additional information or for any assistance, please contact David Hams on 0402204841 or Mitch Portlock on 0431418516 anytime.
