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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,780,000 (14 Feb 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Lower Mitcham (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,097/m² of land (n=44). 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

SA

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 $604/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.

Open the Door to a Timeless Bungalow with a Soul-calming Finish

Auction Sat, 14th Feb - 1pm (USP)

One of the first homes to ever grace its leafy, serene pocket; this much-loved C1925 character Bungalow has watched Lower Mitcham grow around it from a far-reaching plot that saves the best for its calming rear garden setting.

An architectural open-plan extension and partnering deck put the crowd-pleasing exclamation mark on this timeless 4-bedroom home with multiple living zones, beautifully preserved original features and the freedom to escape and embrace each other on a whim.

Read the full description

From modern kitchen to family room to covered deck to BBQ to garden, you'll instinctively gravitate to the soul-soothing rear of this consummate entertainer that feels two worlds away. And you'll never look back.

Open the Door to:

- A beautifully evolved C1925 Bungalow that balances heritage, architecture and everyday ease on a deep, leafy Lower Mitcham holding

- A flowing architectural extension that connects kitchen, living and dining in one generous, highly social sweep

- A seamless transition from indoors to a covered entertainer's deck built with subtle elevation and a natural line of sight to the garden beyond

- A modern, well resolved kitchen with island bench, stone benchtops, deep storage, quality appliances and sightlines across living, deck and garden

- Multiple living zones that let you come together or peel away as the mood or moment demands

- Four bedrooms anchored by beautifully preserved bungalow bones at the front of the home

- High ceilings, warm timber floors and original detailing grounding the home in its era

- A fully-fledged underground feature cellar

- Ducted air conditioning, loads of storage, separate laundry

- Carport and off-street parking for a small fleet

Close the Door on:

- Living boxed in by rooms that turn their back on the outdoors. Here, life naturally flows from kitchen to deck to garden in one easy rhythm

- Choosing between character and comfort. This home keeps its bungalow soul while delivering modern space, light and flexibility

- Entertaining that feels effortful or staged. From BBQ to bench to table, everything here is set up to feel instinctive and relaxed

Tree lined streets, period homes and a strong sense of community define Lower Mitcham, while Mitcham Square, cafes, cinemas and everyday essentials are moments away. Brown Hill Creek's trails, nearby reserves and the foothills beyond pull you outdoors, while the CBD stays an easy commute by car, train or bus. It is a suburb that rewards those who value calm, character and connection in equal measure, and one that continues to age exceptionally well.
