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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $715,000 (10 Nov 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 615 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Rocklea (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,063/m² of land (n=36). 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 $609/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.

Listing material

SOLD BY GARY LIU & ASSOCIATES

Set well back from Balham Rd, screened by established trees, this quaint 3-bed timber lowset is essential viewing for first-home buyers, renovators who spot easy avenues to value-add, and big dreamers looking for sites to build their forever home (STCA). It also offers excellent potential for those considering running a home-based business or even converting to commercial use, subject to council approval.

Highlights:

- Polished hardwood timber floors through the central lounge & 3 bedrooms

Read the full description

- Tiled flooring in the front dining room, the modern kitchen & bathroom + laundry

- Large 615m2 block, fully fenced with driveway past the house to a double garage/shed

- 10-minute walk to dog-friendly Kookaburra Park & bus transport to get about Brissy

- Short drive to Rocklea State School, Yeronga State High, ALDI, Griffith Uni, Brisbane Markets

- Great potential for a home business setup or future commercial conversion (STCA)

There's an easy flow through this home's primary living areas; the tiled front dining room connects through two spacious openings into a large lounge which then extends into a modern kitchen with loads of bench space and storage, tiled splashbacks and a twin sink with backyard outlook.

The flooring gets serious in the lounge first, where the tiles are exchanged for polished hardwood floorboards that continue into the 3 bedrooms, one of these with a whole wall of built-in robes.

The bathroom has also had a makeover at one point and is a light, white and bright space with a space saving shower-over-full-tub and a vanity with integrated basin and storage below.

Front and back, there's an easy win straight up just by laying down some fresh turf - which will create big play-friendly outdoor areas within these fully fenced grounds, perfect if you have kids or pets. For your wheels, there's a concrete driveway running past the house to a double garage.

There's excellent potential here to explore options to further update the existing home with more internal d\u233?cor swaps, consider extending or looking for a home with space to run a small business - there's certainly land available - or even explore the option of starting afresh with a brand-new build (STCA).

Whatever way you go you'll further capitalise on this convenient southside location. Big parks with off-leash dog areas are only a walk away, and you can reach every other amenity in mere minutes by car: Rocklea State School (2), Salisbury train station (5), Brisbane Markets for Saturday stock ups (6) ALDI, QEII Hospital & Griffith Uni (8), Indooroopilly Shopping Centre (15) and 20 to town.

Inspect soon & bring your imaginations along with you. This is a property with potential plus (STCA)!
