Given the $1,000,000–$2,100,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,000,000–$2,100,000(Listing record · 8 Nov 2025)
  • CalculationAsk is 38% below the Caulfield North median recorded sale ($1,612,500, n=7, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Caulfield North's advertised median rent ($585/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.04% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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 $585/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.0%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Read the full description

Located at 226 Hawthorn Road, LUMA Caulfield North, presents a rare opportunity to secure one of just nine meticulously designed residences in one of Melbourne’s most established inner suburbs. Offering a curated selection of two- and three-bedroom apartments, each with spacious proportions and considered layouts, LUMA has been crafted to suit discerning owner-occupiers seeking architectural refinement and everyday ease.

Across three levels, residences range in size from 80m² to 159m² internally, with additional expansive terraces or balconies from 11m² to over 30m². Floorplans offer a diversity of configurations, including single-bathroom residences and options with up to three bathrooms and three bedrooms — ideal for those seeking a functional and flexible living space in a boutique development.

Interiors that emphasise timeless design and premium finishes

At LUMA, interiors are defined by understated sophistication. Floor-to-ceiling glazing harnesses natural light while maximising northerly outlooks across Caulfield North’s leafy streetscapes. Living areas are grounded in warmth and durability, with European Oak wire-brushed timber flooring from the Aurora Range throughout kitchens and living zones, paired with plush carpeted bedrooms for added comfort.

Kitchen design balances form and utility, with each apartment featuring either a light “Glacier Honed” or dark “Turko Argento” natural stone benchtop finish. Joinery is completed in timber-look Polytec Ravine — Soft Walnut or Notaio Walnut — complemented by fluted glass overhead cabinetry and black aluminium detailing. Appliances are exclusively Miele, with 1- and 2-bedroom residences featuring a 60cm induction cooktop, built-in oven, integrated dishwasher, and rangehood. Three-bedroom apartments are further upgraded with an 80cm induction cooktop, Gen 7000 speed oven, and a 90cm extractor unit.

Bathrooms feature natural stone benchtops, statement wall tiling, and premium black fixtures from the EXON range, including mixers, towel rails, and toilet roll holders. Frameless shower screens and the option for freestanding baths in selected residences add to the sense of luxury.

Every apartment also includes secure car parking, split system heating and cooling, and generous private outdoor spaces. Residents may opt to upgrade their home with electric vehicle charging and additional car spaces.
