Given the $690,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $690,000(Listing record · 16 Apr 2026)
  • CalculationAsk is 62% below the Braddon median recorded sale ($1,830,000, n=5, last 24 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Braddon's advertised median rent ($495/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.73% — 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.

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.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Australian Capital Territory schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

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 $495/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 3.7%. 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 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

naturally.dynamic

Walls of glass literally float you amidst the city skyline, the central sunroom welcoming light directly into the open plan. It is the same within both bedrooms, where a lovely transparency delivers you to endless skies, the intrigue of the architectural landscape. This contemporary two-bedder is seeded within the history of Reid and Braddon while edging the dynamism of the city. Walk to a myriad of shopping, dining, entertainment options, stroll to the local markets, ride or walk within reserve, it's all at your doorstep.

The Mark, extends the perfect blend of dynamic, inner-city living, with suburban feel, and immersion in nature. Nestled between the CBD and Braddon, flanked by Gorman House and the Canberra Centre, sheltered by Mount Ainslie, and looking out to the historic suburb of Reid. The Founders Lane development is a vibrant inner-city precinct, that combines, residential, commercial and community spaces. Think life beneath shady trees, a selection of fab cafe's, rooftop barbecue, shared herb garden. It is a village within the city - great community, shared courtyards, public art and a private residence lounge.

The buildings combo of raw concrete, black steel and sandstone, is a nod toward the varying characteristics of this intersectional locale - wide tree lined streets, spacious verges, heritage homes, skyscrapers, busy metropolis. The foyer is moody, deliberately utilitarian, with an elegant edge. The apartments renowned for their high quality fixtures and finishes and wonderful quality of light.

Read the full description

Warm hybrid timber floors flow underfoot and walls are gallery white, in contrast to the dark framed double glazed windows. The kitchen picks up this light and dark theme, think lot of textured grey stone, chic white cabinetry, contrasting with dark stained oak. The clever sunroom extends the open living and dining into the light, gifting a feeling of inside outside living. One imagines gathering with friends, enjoying the skyline, the magic twinkle of city lights come evening.

Attention to detail is evident at every turn, from the enormous stone waterfall kitchen island bench, Smeg appliances, ample storage, to the waterfall showers and heated towel racks. This is apartment living without compromise, finished to exacting standards, with an acute eye to luxury. Both bedrooms have generous built-in-robes and there is a seamless European laundry. And we love the patterned floor-to-ceiling grey tiling within both the ensuite and second bathroom, its volcanic drama and sumptuous evocation of the natural world.

The apartment is positioned on the cusp of the city, within Braddon and alongside Reid, Ainslie and just a few steps from the Canberra Centre. This whole inner-north locale is synonymous with an array of the finest eating, dining, entertainment options. Just around the corner from Ainslie and Gorman House Arts centres, Canberra Theatre Centre and surrounded by heritage suburbs, green spaces, including the walking and biking trails within Mt Ainslie reserve - all the best that central Canberra has to offer, is within easy reach. The home is also close to the ANU, and the metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
