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

  • FactLand 771 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Katoomba (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,226/m² of land (n=121). 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

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $539/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Burrendong

Originally built in 1905, Burrendong is a masterclass in blending heritage charm with thoughtful modern design. Hidden behind its quaint, deceptively modest cottage façade lies an expansive, beautifully renovated four-bedroom plus study or fifth bedroom residence. A secondary dwelling with an impressive one bedroom loft and lower studio, that offers comfort, flexibility, and style in equal measure. Step inside and be captivated by the original features, including a centralised hall with dado rails, soaring ceilings, elegant picture rails, sash windows and recently refinished Baltic pine floorboards that infuse the home with character.

Boasting an extremely versatile floor plan, flowing seamlessly from the original structure into the modern extension, there are multiple living zones, the original with an open fireplace providing a warm and inviting retreat, ideal for quiet evenings or intimate gatherings. In contrast, the expansive modern living room is a bright, open space designed for contemporary comfort. Anchored by a stylish combustion fireplace and bespoke cabinetry, this area connects effortlessly to both the kitchen and the sun-drenched back deck, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that's ideal for entertaining.

At the heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, completed only 2.5 years ago by a highly regarded local joinery company. A striking, solid oak one-piece island commands attention, surrounded by meticulously designed custom cabinetry that extends into a fully equipped butler's pantry, complete with Blum soft-close fittings. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the 70cm Smeg oven with gas cooktop, integrated warming drawer, XXL dishwasher, plumbed fridge cavity, electric kick bin, and commercial-grade water filter.
