Given the $750,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $750,000(Listing record · 20 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 539 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Paralowie (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,294/m² of land (n=131). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 4% below the Paralowie median recorded sale ($779,000, n=103, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Paralowie's advertised median rent ($582/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.04% — 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.

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 $582/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 4.0%. 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. 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.

Listing material

Listed by Crawford Doran

Big on Space, Easy on Life

Well maintained, wonderfully practical and ready to enjoy, 5 Caroline Grove is a home that makes everyday living easy. Built in 2002 and set on a 539sqm approx. corner block, this easy-care three-bedroom property offers generous spaces to live, work, entertain and store everything life brings.

Immaculate and exceptionally functional, the home works beautifully from day one, with plenty of scope to add your own style over time.

Inside, the floorplan is cleverly arranged around two separate living zones, with stylish floating floors, a central dining area and a contemporary kitchen that punches well above its weight.

Read the full description

Marble-look benchtops, sleek white cabinetry, overhead display cupboards, a large stainless-steel gas cooktop, wall oven, rangehood, double sink, breakfast bar and walk-in pantry make it genuinely functional, with a charming archway adding personality between the kitchen and front living room.

Three bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility, with the main bedroom enjoying direct bathroom access and its own walk-in robe, while bedrooms two and three each feature built-in robes and ceiling fans.

The well-kept bathroom includes both a bathtub and separate shower, with a separate toilet adding to the everyday practicality.

But it's outside where this property really shows off.

A substantial north-facing undercover entertaining area creates an enormous paved zone for weekend lunches, family gatherings, outdoor play, or simply spreading out. There's more than enough room for both a dining and lounge setting.

Beyond, there's a sizeable lawn, multiple garden areas and not one, not two, but three substantial sheds, providing an impressive amount of storage to divide up tools, toys, hobbies - and all the things you promised yourself you would organise one day.

There's also a 3kW solar system, ducted and split-system air conditioning, two 5000L rainwater tanks to keep the garden vibrant year-round, and security screens to main doors.

And then there's the location. Fairbanks Drive Reserve and its playground are close by, while the Little Para Linear Park offers walking and recreation spaces within easy reach. Woolworths is a stroll away for everyday essentials, and both Bethany Christian School and Temple Christian College's Paralowie Campus are conveniently close.

For buyers looking for a home that is solid, spacious, wonderfully cared for and ready to enjoy, this one makes a very compelling case.

If somewhere down the track, you decide it deserves a cosmetic refresh - new paint, new flooring, perhaps even a pool… the bones are here to make it your own.

For now, though? Move in and get comfortable.
