Given the $880,000–$960,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $880,000–$960,000(Listing record · 26 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 726 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Ferntree Gully (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,219/m² of land (n=51). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 0% below the Ferntree Gully median recorded sale ($884,000, n=39, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Ferntree Gully's advertised median rent ($576/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.40% — 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 $576/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. 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 3.4%. 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.

Listing material

Listed by Ray White Ferntree Gully

Character, Space and a Garden Sanctuary

Framed by lush, established gardens and a classic exposed-brick façade, 27 Silverton Drive offers a home of warmth, individuality and impressive versatility in a well-connected Ferntree Gully setting. From the moment the long driveway leads towards the elevated front entry, there is a sense of privacy and character that continues throughout the residence.

Inside, multiple living zones create a wonderfully adaptable environment for everyday life. Just beyond the entry, a sunken living area makes an immediate impression with timber flooring, vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan and distinctive timber detailing. A built-in bar with timber benchtop adds another layer of personality, complemented by an adjoining powder room and direct access to the rear garden.

Across the entry, a second generous living room provides an inviting place to unwind. Timber flooring, exposed ceiling beams, ducted heating and a ceiling fan enhance the atmosphere, while broad front-facing windows draw in natural light. Built-in shelving and a recessed brick-wall niche further reinforce the home's unique architectural character.

Read the full description

At the heart of the residence, the kitchen connects naturally with the family and dining areas to create a welcoming central hub. Stone-look laminate benchtops, a double sink, Miele dishwasher, six-burner ILVE gas cooktop and oven provide practical everyday functionality, while a large skylight introduces additional natural light. Timber flooring and exposed beams continue through the adjoining family and dining spaces, where a pendant light defines the dining zone and a separate study nook offers flexibility for working or studying from home.

A dedicated study positioned alongside the kitchen adds even greater versatility, featuring slate-tiled flooring, a built-in desk, cabinetry and shelving, with a broad window overlooking the covered alfresco.

Accommodation is thoughtfully positioned along the central hallway. Two secondary bedrooms include built-in robes, while the main bedroom enjoys garden outlooks, mountain views and a walk-in robe. The central bathroom includes a full-size bath, separate shower and vanity, with the toilet positioned separately for added convenience. The main bedroom is further complemented by an ensuite with a full-size shower and floor-to-ceiling tiling.

Comfort is supported throughout by ducted heating and evaporative cooling, with ceiling fans adding another layer of airflow across several rooms.

Outside, the home takes on an entirely different mood. A covered alfresco provides a sheltered place to relax while enjoying views towards the mountains, stepping down into a lush rear garden filled with established tropical-style planting. Tanbark garden beds help create an attractive, relatively low-maintenance setting without a traditional lawn to manage.

A separate pergola and fire-pit area offer another inviting outdoor retreat, while under-house storage, additional storage beneath the alfresco, a rainwater tank and a dedicated workshop with shelving add valuable practicality. The double garage sits at the end of the long driveway and includes rear external access to the backyard.

Rich in character and surrounded by greenery, this is a home designed around flexible living, relaxed entertaining and a strong connection between its indoor and outdoor spaces.
