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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,390,000 (16 May 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Ipswich (last 5 years) with land size: median $949/m² of land (n=104). 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 $499/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 JUNE FRANK - PERFECT - PRISTINE - PERIOD PROPERTY

Positioned on the rise of the north facing side of Denmark Hill one of Ipswich’s most sought after locations, this stunning Queenslander has all the wants on everyone’s wish list.

Built in 1901 for a local Chemist, the home sits across 2 titles on 844m2. The property is bound by an exquisite white picket hardwood fence built to last and a crisp contrast to the emerald green lawns, manicured hedges, and the 3-tiered yard culminates in a level lawned space ideal for a game of cricket or room for a pool.

The sharp contrast of the freshly painted exterior in white with black trim is breath taking.

Read the full description

Unique opportunity of three street frontage set in an enclave of quirky historical homes and matures trees including the poinciana at the front. The secure double garage is positioned to the rear maximising yard space.

Entry through the front gate leads through lattice doors to wrap around front and side verandahs which enjoy views to St Mary’s Cathedral, Ipswich Grammar, the CBD and the D’Aguilar mountain range.

The solid front timber door opens to a traditional hall with two built-in bedrooms and large home office with leadlight dividing doors and separate access to the verandah through French doors.

Spectacular views to the north through the picture window are enjoyed from the large formal living room.

A very large functional solid country style timber kitchen has room for casual table and chairs and all the charm of a working fireplace.

Conveniently the laundry with excellent storage is located off the kitchen and could double as a butler’s pantry.

Great dining space is beside the kitchen and flows out to the rear deck overlooking the garden.

Continuing the black and white theme, the family bathroom on this level features an antique 1901 bath sourced from a homestead – possibly a horse trough in a previous century.

Internal stairs lead to the second living area which spills out through French doors to the lawned space.

3 built-in bedrooms plus study nook and second bathroom is perfect for extended family or guests.

A large lockable storage area is an ideal workshop space.

Located minutes from CBD, Top of Town Precinct, Ipswich Grammar, Catholic Precinct, Ipswich General Hospital, University and Riverlink.

Perfect home for those who understand and appreciate premium real estate. A twenty-year restoration by the current owners has produced the most comprehensive attention to detail I have seen.
