Given the $649,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $649,000(Listing record · 20 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Virginia (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,759/m² of land (n=62). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 27% below the Virginia median recorded sale ($887,500, n=30, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Virginia's advertised median rent ($584/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.68% — 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.

Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

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 $584/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 4.7%. 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

    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

A Shiny New Beginning In Virginia's Fast-Moving North

For first-home buyers ready to trade compromise for something decidedly more polished, this modern single-level home puts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an ensuited main suite, generous open-plan living, secure garaging and an easy-care backyard into one neat package in Virginia's increasingly compelling northern pocket.

There is barely a wasted metre across its streamlined footprint, pushing the private quarters towards the front before the home opens right up at the rear, where a full-width family domain, sharp white kitchen and sliding glass connection to the lawn give everyday life considerably more room than its low-maintenance proposition might suggest.

The main bedroom gets first dibs on privacy with its own walk-in robe and fully tiled ensuite, leaving two further bedrooms, both with built-in robes, to share a bathroom that puts a deep bath and separate shower behind a crisp contemporary finish.

Read the full description

A tiled hallway then draws you towards the business end of the home, where the kitchen plants an oversized black-topped island in the middle of the action and backs it with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, dishwasher and pendant lighting.

It is a kitchen designed to be used rather than admired from afar, with breakfast-bar seating pulling company into the equation and a direct sightline across dining and family zones making the entire rear section feel like one continuous place to cook, eat and switch off.

Wide sliding doors do the rest, opening the living zone to a simple patch of lawn that keeps weekends free of garden marathons while leaving enough green space for pets, kids, outdoor furniture or whatever comes next.

Add tiled floors through the hardworking zones, plantation shutters, ceiling fans, split-system comfort and internal access from the garage, and the result is an uncomplicated modern home with very little demanding attention before the furniture even arrives.

Virginia has long since moved beyond its market-garden beginnings, and for buyers looking north for value without giving up newer infrastructure, everyday amenity and a straightforward run towards Adelaide, this is a particularly easy place to start.

Features to note:

• Modern single-level home with a highly efficient three-bedroom footprint

• Main bedroom with walk-in robe and private ensuite

• Built-in robes to bedrooms two and three

• Central family bathroom with separate shower and deep bath

• Separate WC

• Large open-plan family and dining zone spanning the rear of the home

• Contemporary kitchen with oversized island and breakfast-bar seating

• Stainless steel oven, gas cooktop, rangehood and dishwasher

• Extensive white cabinetry and pantry storage

• Plantation shutters

• Tiled flooring through the main living and traffic areas

• Ceiling fans to bedrooms and living zone

• Split-system air conditioning

• Separate laundry with external access

• Secure single garage with panel-lift door and internal entry

• Sliding glass doors connecting living directly to the backyard

• Secure, low-maintenance rear lawn with scope to make the outdoor setting your own

• Approximately 115sqm of living area and 135sqm overall including garage and porch

Location:

• Positioned in an evolving Virginia neighbourhood surrounded by contemporary homes

• Easy access to Virginia's local shopping, everyday services and community facilities

• Well placed for schools, childcare and sporting facilities across Adelaide's growing north

• Convenient connection to the Northern Expressway and major north-south transport links

• Within easy reach of employment hubs throughout Edinburgh, Salisbury and the wider northern corridor

• A practical launching point for Adelaide while keeping the space and newer housing stock of the city's northern fringe
