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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $680,000 (21 Mar 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 668 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Railway Estate (last 5 years) with land size: median $939/m² of land (n=97). 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

QLD

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 $502/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.

City Fringe Beauty With Space For The Whole Family And More!

SOLD By Mal & Phill Charlwood

This mansion truly caters to large families or multi-use with its spacious 7 bedroom layout and multiple living zones. The main draw is the ability to comfortably fit a big household while still allowing privacy. You could have the grandparents in the self-contained ground floor quarters, the kids on the fun timber upper level, and still have rooms to spare for guests, an office, etc.

The ground floor impresses with high ceilings, polished floors, and a wing that feels like its own modern apartment. The large kitchen, family room, 3 bedrooms, and patio access provide everything needed for independent living while still connected to the rest of the home. This zone would be ideal for in-laws who want both privacy and interaction.

Read the full description

As you walk upstairs, the beautiful preserved wood floors and lofty ceilings continue in the main living areas. Vintage touches like the country timber kitchen harken back to traditional Queenslander style but with modern amenities. Multiple bedrooms, cozy nooks, and a balcony off the front room give plenty of options for personal space. The upper level feels like a charming treehouse perfect for kids.

Two levels means twice the bathroom availability so no more crowded mornings. The home's numerous bathrooms ensure everyone can get ready quickly and on their own schedule.

Outdoor areas expand the living space to the lovely gardens. The ground floor patio and upper deck provide fresh air spots to dine, relax or entertain. The yard offers potential for a pool, shed or extra parking that may be needed for large gatherings.

With side access and proximity to downtown, the stadium and water, this home combines convenience with a private lifestyle. The thoughtful restoration paired with ample room makes this a truly unique offering for a large family wanting comfort and togetherness.
