Given the $1,790,000–$1,900,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,790,000–$1,900,000(Listing record · 26 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 314 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationIf it leased at St Kilda's advertised median rent ($547/wk), implied gross yield would be 1.59% — 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 $547/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 1.6%. 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 Belle Property Brighton

A family hideaway one block from the bay

One of the area's best kept secrets, set in one of its finest streets just a block from the bay, this Edwardian gives very little away from its charming façade. Inside, it unfolds as a full-scale family home, renovated and extended with care and a clear sense of purpose.

Step through the front door and the proportions start to reveal themselves. Timber fretwork and lofty ceilings guide you along the hallway, past the first bedroom with a fireplace, ceiling roses and a soft garden outlook. The main bedroom follows, generous in size and paired with a substantial ensuite that includes both a bath and shower.

Then the interior opens up in a different way. Light drops in from above through a skylit corridor, lifting the mood as you pass a second bathroom with European laundry. A third room with built-in cabinetry sits here too, flexible enough to adapt into a lounge, study or additional sleeping accommodation.

Read the full description

And then you reach the rear, where everything expands. Soaring cathedral ceilings rise above the wide-open living and dining zone with split-system air conditioning. The stone-topped kitchen is centred around a large square island bench with Smeg and Asko appliances, ready for everyday use or something bigger.

Bi-fold doors create a seamless connection to the backyard with a northerly aspect and a brick-paved courtyard doubling as rare off-street parking for two cars behind roller doors. A towering palm tree stands sentinel, giving the outdoor setting a personality entirely of its own. Storage runs throughout in abundance, and the showers in both bathrooms are fitted with rainfall heads.

Zoned for St Kilda Primary and Elwood College, and close to Peanut Farm Reserve, the Botanical Gardens, Acland Street, transport and St Columba's School, this is a house that keeps surprising you from beginning to end.
