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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $906,000 (2 June 2018).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 790 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Downer (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,573/m² of land (n=23). 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

ACT

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $420/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.

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 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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.

Listing material

Listed by Luton Properties Dickson

Stylish, updated home on generous 790m2 block in lovely streetscape, near Dickson hub & light rail!

This recently renovated, privately built home is situated on a generous block of approximately 790m2, in one of the most sought after streets in the inner north, sheltered by a canopy of oaks, and just steps from the thriving Dickson precinct!

Mature shrubs screen the front garden. Freshly painted trim and timber work on the front verandah adds to the instant appeal of this mid-century home, complemented by the brick structure of the fireplace and colonial windows.

The front door opens to fresh white decor and beautiful Tasmanian oak flooring, which extends from the entry through living areas and is showcased in the spacious lounge. The original brick fireplace is now enclosed and ducted gas heating has been installed, but the mantelpiece is an attractive feature and there is the possibility of restoration for a cosy winter atmosphere.

Read the full description

The U-shaped open plan living flows into the dining area and sparkling kitchen. Newly installed and never used, it gives the home a "brand new" feel and features glossy white finishes, a double pantry and a Bellini glass cooktop, rangehood and oven.

The kitchen leads into the renovated laundry which has been opened up to provide flow through from the hallway and living areas onto the rear entertaining space. There is additional convenient access from the laundry into the stylish, brand new bathroom, also never used. It features a bath, separate shower, storage and full height tiling.

Soft new carpet has been laid in the three spacious bedrooms, all of which have a wall of modern built-in robes, while there is additional quality shelving in the master. Charming, colonial sash windows frame an outlook over the garden from the front bedrooms.

The rear entertaining area covers a vast expanse, large enough for a number of outdoor settings. Overlooking the private, large level rear garden, it is the perfect place to enjoy the peace and quiet of the location. The private front verandah offers another great spot to relax. A garden sheds sits behind the carport and there is ample parking on the driveway.

The magnificent oaks create an appealing streetscape, marking the change of seasons and underlining the long established feel of this early Canberra suburb. From this brilliant location it is just a stroll to shops, cafes, restaurants and all the services of the Dickson centre, as well as a light rail stop in the near future. A selection of well regarded local schools is within walking distance and it is just 15 minutes travel into the City centre and the ANU.

All the work has been done in this comfortable, stylish home, in a premium position, so all that remains is to move in and enjoy all that the location has to offer!
