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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $230,000 (24 Mar 2022).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 914 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Penola (last 5 years) with land size: median $347/m² of land (n=40). 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

SA

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 $312/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

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. 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.

Solid Home - BIG Potential

TDC are pleased to present to the Penola market – 3 Queen Street; A solid Mount Gambier stone home on a large 914m2 block, in a superb location. This market starter has loads of potential. All that’s needed is a savvy purchaser to take it to the next level.

The location is perfect. Popular Queen Street enjoys the benefits of both peace and quiet, as well as the convenience of Penola’s historic town centre being an easy walk away.

The house itself has a sense of spaciousness about it. Generously sized rooms, with high ceilings are hard to come by – They just don’t make them like they used to. The huge living room could easily house a dining suite also. Equipped with a cracking slow combustion fire and near new reverse cycle air conditioner. Imagine what this space COULD be; Beneath the red carpet – original timber floor boards would look stunning with a sand and polish. There is the potential here also to open the space up into the combined dining / kitchen.

Read the full description

The kitchen has been refurbished with neutral cabinetry in a practical layout. From here, a central hallway (already with the floorboards exposed) connects through to the 3 good sized bedrooms and main bathroom. Here, there is a shower over the original bath, and a modern vanity.

At the rear of the house – A separate toilet, laundry with second shower and a huge sunroom running the entire length of the house. This would make an ideal kids play area, or second living.

A single stone car stone garage, woodshed and ample rainwater (connected to the house) can be found outside in the large secure yard, making this house family and pet friendly.

There is lots to love about this property. Undoubtedly ready for a revamp – However - With good bones and generously sized rooms, it would not take much to transform this in to a seriously good home.

Whether you are purchasing your first home, looking to invest (Rental appraisal at $250 per week as is) or downsizing, call Meg 0407 740 034 to arrange your private inspection today.
