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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,220,000 (10 June 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,097 m² against a 268 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Fadden (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,319/m² of land (n=21). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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

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 $620/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

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 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.

Flexibility, Views, and Room for Everyone

Some homes are designed for a single chapter. 389 Bugden Avenue has been thoughtfully configured for the full story - blended families, multigenerational households, or anyone who simply needs more space, more flexibility, and more room to breathe.

Positioned in a quiet pocket of Fadden with sweeping panoramic views that greet you from the moment you arrive upstairs, this four-bedroom home has been extensively updated throughout and offers a genuinely versatile floorplan that sets it apart from anything comparable in the area.

The main living level delivers an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space anchored by those views and finished to a high standard. The renovated kitchen is a proper working kitchen - 40mm waterfall stone benchtops, a breakfast bar, corner pantry, dual sinks, stainless steel appliances, an appliance hutch, pendant lighting, and generous bench and cupboard space throughout. Sliding door access opens to multiple covered outdoor entertaining areas, creating that seamless indoor-outdoor flow that Canberra's warmer months demand. A split system keeps the main living room comfortable year-round.

Read the full description

The main bedroom continues the view story - panoramic outlooks, a walk-through robe, and a fully appointed ensuite with a modern wall-hung vanity, Tastic lighting, and additional shelving. Bedroom two features a built-in robe and its own split system. Bedroom three offers a full wall of built-in robes. An additional toilet upstairs for guests and convenience.

The renovated main bathroom is a standout - a feature bath, wall-hung vanity, and floor-to-ceiling tiles that feel considered rather than cosmetic.

New carpet, new hybrid flooring, fresh paint throughout, and new roller blinds installed across the home mean this is genuinely move-in ready without the usual list of things to tick off after settlement.

Downstairs, the converted garage opens up a world of options. A second kitchen has been installed - subject to relevant approvals - alongside additional living space with its own split system. Whether you're housing a parent, an older child returning home, a long-term guest, or simply need a self-contained zone away from the main household, the configuration is already there waiting.

Outside, the rear garden is practical and well-loved - brick paving, a grassed area for kids and pets, a chicken coop, and Colorbond fencing for privacy and security. The front of the property features established gardens, a front car space, and side decking with steps. Plenty of off-street parking including a single covered carport and additional allocated carport completes the picture.

An enormous solar system means the running costs are working in your favour from day one.

Wanniassa Hills Nature Reserve, Fadden Neighbourhood Oval, Fadden Preschool, Fadden Primary School, and Erindale Shopping Centre are all within easy reach - the kind of location that makes the school run and the weekend equally straightforward.

389 Bugden Avenue is a home that has been genuinely invested in, configured thoughtfully, and is ready for its next family to make it their own.
