Given the $809,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $809,000(Listing record · 20 May 2026)
  • CalculationLand 715 m² against a 138 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationAsk is 14% below the Scullin median recorded sale ($940,000, n=14, last 24 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Scullin's advertised median rent ($390/wk), implied gross yield would be 2.51% — 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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. 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.

Capital growth

ACT

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $390/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 2.5%. 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 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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 HOME.BYHOLLY

tone & texture

Laid back 70s vibes abound, the home awash in honeyed tones, warm textures and delicately patterned wall papering. This classic three bedder has been beautifully preserved and delivers multiple living spaces to suit all moods and occasions.

There is a feeling of delight as timber panelling, exposed brick and slate floors to step you back in time. Clever updates deliver ease with endless potential, think creating a natural connection and easy flow to the swimming pool and garden, embodying the perfect summer lifestyle.

McIntosh street is a desirable loop that travels past the popular Scullin shops, within walking distance of local schools and pre schools. The home sits low behind terraced garden beds with giant conifers that add a sculptural allure. The simple form has a balanced elegance - raked roofline that extends to shelter the long front patio. High garden walls extend to the fence line, creating a private courtyard on one side. On the other side of the home a driveway travels through iron gates to the double metal garage beyond.

Read the full description

We love the front door - its classic mid-century carving and patterned glass inserts. There is a long hallway lined with grooved paneling which is echoed within the generous front living room. Here a big window captures the front garden, welcoming light that bounces off the golden palm leaves that decorate the papered walls.

There is a lovely open flow into the kitchen combined meals - easy-care vinyl timber floors giving way to beautiful slate, with light brick feature walls and kitchen cabinetry in soft cream. There are all electric appliances and a nice flow into the adjacent seperate laundry which opens straight onto the garden.

The second living area gazes over the salt water swimming pool via a big window and has the welcoming feel of a classic 70s den with faux stone clad hearth. One imagines glass sliders that open onto a terrace or deck, so you can flow outside with ease and enjoy the sunlight, the soothing presence of the pool.

From here you could step down to pergola sheltered terrace, enjoying a shared drink or two with friends while the kids splash and swim. The whole rear garden easy-care and serene, enclosed by green walls, softened by no mow synthetic grass.

All three bedrooms have built-in-robes for seamless storage, while the master bedroom overlooks the pool and garden. There is a family bathroom with a bathtub and the convenience of a seperate toilet. Here floor to ceiling tiling delivers a delicate patterning that echoes the gentle, warm materiality of the whole home.

Sweet Bones Bakery and Café is an easy stroll for great coffee and a chance to meet familiar faces. The local shops are buzzing with colourful murals, Change Wellness yoga classes, and old favourite, Another Chance Op Shop. Surrounded by sporting fields, playgrounds and parks, the home is immersed in leafy beauty near Pinnacle Reserve's walking tracks. The evolving Belconnen precinct is minutes away with dining, shopping and Fresh Food Markets. Close to transport, schools, the Arboretum, GIO Stadium, AIS and UC, and just 15 minutes to the CBD.
