Given the $669,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $669,000(Listing record · 17 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationLand 693 m² against a 118 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Calista (last 5 years) with land size: median $706/m² of land (n=133). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 10% below the Calista median recorded sale ($742,500, n=28, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Calista's advertised median rent ($546/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.24% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 693 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 $546/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 4.2%. 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

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 693 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • 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. 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.

PRICED TO SELL –This property wont last long!

If you’re searching for a property with character, space and future potential, this Calista home offers plenty of options.

Recently refreshed with fresh paint, a revamped bathroom and carpets installed to the bedrooms and hallways prior to tenant leasing, the home has a modern appeal while retaining the character of an established 60's Calista classic. For lovers of original features, Jarrah floorboards remain underneath the carpeted areas.

Set on a generous block with a large swimming pool, substantial undercover entertaining area and good-sized shed, this property offers some great opportunities:

Read the full description

1. INVEST & HOLD

Currently leased to wonderful tenants who have made the property their home and would love to stay long term.

With Calista experiencing strong growth, secure an established property now with $570 per week rental income and hold for the future.

Fixed-term lease until 26 February 2027.

2. ADD VALUE

There are some exciting opportunities here for buyers prepared to think outside the box.

The oversized laundry may provide scope to incorporate a second bathroom, while the fully bricked auxiliary room attached to the rear could potentially be converted into a fourth bedroom with appropriate insulation, flooring and heating/cooling – creating the possibility of a 4x2 configuration (STCA).

There’s potential in the land too. The property's block size is within 5% of the 700m² site area associated with the incoming R20 zoning subdivision requirements, making future subdivision potential another avenue worth investigating – (STCA).

Improve it, reconfigure it, investigate the land potential or simply hold and enjoy the block – the choice is yours.

3. FIRST HOME BUYERS – BUY NOW, MOVE IN LATER

At this price point, this could be an interesting way for first-home buyers to secure a property now and prepare to move in once the tenancy ends.

If you're currently living with parents, family or renting and don't need to move immediately, the existing $570 per week rent provides income while you continue saving and preparing for home ownership.

By the time the lease concludes in February 2027, you’ve had additional time to save towards moving costs, furnishings or making the home your own.

It may also suit buyers planning a future move to Western Australia who want to secure their property ahead of time.
