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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,330,000 (2 Sept 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 598 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Forestville (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,571/m² of land (n=25). 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

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 $546/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.

A unique and stylishly updated bungalow to enjoy city fringe living

Offers Close Tue, 2nd Sep - 12pm (usp)

This gorgeous 1925 built bungalow possesses great street appeal with a proud stance. It's sandstone front with a unique design is characterised by a return Verandah bringing all the desired heritage elements along with fresh upgrades in this highly regarded location.

Entry to the side starts with leadlight and delivers character in bounds with lofty, ornate and decorative ceilings, original timberwork, ornate fireplaces and wide polished timber boards. Big windows and well-proportioned rooms throughout allow light filled and spacious living. A great floorplan functions well and provides for easy future additions if required, subject to all the usual consents.

Read the full description

The cosy lounge to the front enjoys views over an established garden and 3 spacious bedrooms provide enough space for added furniture, desks and hobbies. A gas fire to one and a combustion heater to the large master suite add to the warmth. The luxe ensuite to the master features a huge shower alcove and equally impressive is the main bathroom, both are fully renovated with a dash of flair and have underfloor heating for a touch of luxury.

An eat-in style kitchen is part of recent upgrades, perfectly suited for busy daily life and easy entertaining. Smeg appliances with a gas cooktop, an integrated dishwasher, excellent storage and stone tops are all very simple, stylish and practical. Bifold doors are a great feature and foldback at a servery to connect inside to extended gatherings where a large covered pergola along with the kitchen benefit from a lush garden outlook with great privacy. This has a lovely oasis vibe and is a great space to potter and enjoy family living.

A single garage has extra length for a workshop or storage with an added garden shed for the clutter. There is plenty of off street parking for additional cars or storage of family toys. Comfortable surrounds are assured with ducted gas heating, split system air conditioning, ceiling fans and 5kw solar to keep the power bills at bay.

This is a great property to provide for family living where future additions can extend living space but would serve you well as a home for a smaller family or a downsize option.

The location is highly desirable with all conveniences withing easy reach. A little over 2km to enter the CBD and all the action you could want with the Adelaide Farmers Market around the corner at the Showgrounds. The tram and train are a moment away along with cosmopolitan shops and eateries.

Your recreation needs are taken care of with nearby Goodwood Oval, Unley swimming centre and walking & cycle trails close by. Zoned for Adelaide & Adelaide Botanic High Schools.

The lifestyle and convenience provided with City Fringe living are a huge drawcard making this a very attractive offering.
