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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $950,000 (22 Dec 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 907 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Somerville (last 5 years) with land size: median $844/m² of land (n=61). 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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 907 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 $629/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

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

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 907 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • 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. 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.

The below ground pool is an absolute showstopper, with a large shelter and heater for year round use, with a large, powered shed to the side including another fireplace and bathroom facilities. In addition, the pool has been home to a highly successful and established swim school for the last 10 years, with the opportunity available to the right buyer to purchase the business rights alongside the residence.

Positioned in a much-loved setting and surrounded by quality family homes, the popular Matthews Park is just a short stroll away, with plenty of greenspace and play equipment to enjoy, while a variety of retail and dining options are easily within reach.

The front garden has been carefully landscaped to include lawn and a variety of plant life for a welcoming appeal from the very start, with the double remote garage providing secure parking for the vehicles, and the addition of built-in storage within. The private entry is sheltered from the street, with space to sit and relax before entering the property via the dual front doors. A large entry foyer greets you, with an accented feature wall and a choice of passage beyond, while your substantially sized master suite sits to the right. Carpeted underfoot with views to the front garden, your primary suite offers soft natural lighting, with dual walk-in robes and an ensuite with twin vanities, a double glass framed shower and private WC.

Your well-being is considered throughout the entire residence with 2 evaporative air conditioning systems across the home, with one dedicated to the bedrooms and the other to the living areas. While natural gas outlets and both a reverse cycle air conditioning unit and fireplace are included within the open plan living and dining area. Located centrally as the heart of the home, your living and dining space offers a comfortable setting for the family to gather, with timber flooring underfoot and an open design to incorporate the fully fitted kitchen. Equipped with an extensive array of cabinetry and storage, your kitchen offers stone benchtops, a freestanding stainless steel oven and sliding doors directly to the alfresco for an entertainer's dream, while a large breakfast bar offers casual dining within. And a dedicated theatre room sits to the side, with a feature recessed ceiling, carpet to the floor and dual access points.

Your three further bedrooms are placed within their own peaceful section of the home, and all furnished with carpet underfoot and full height sliding door robes, while a large study or activity space sits between, with a wraparound built-in desk and plentiful storage to utilise. And completing the interior, your main bathroom offers a glass shower enclosure, bath and extended vanity with storage, with a separately placed powder room, while your laundry provides both cabinetry and counterspace, plus a walk-in linen closet and direct garden access.

Entering the backyard via either the kitchen or living area, your entertainers alfresco offers a spacious setting in which to relax, with another fireplace for those cooler evenings, plus a bar and barbecue with sink, while your timber lined roof provides a cosy feel before extending outward to the separate gazebo with exterior ceiling fan and poolside views. The backyard wraps around the home, with plenty of lush green lawn, a border of plant life and full reticulation to both the front and back, with a pathway around the property for access.

And finally, the below ground pool is a whopping 10m x 4.5m in size, with a 14m x 8m curved and semi-enclosed pergola, with glass fencing, paved surrounds and a natural gas heater, while the pool is chlorine and includes both a chemical dispenser and an in-ground blanket. Your 6m x 4m shed runs alongside, with power already in place, and a fireplace within, while a separate and fully fitted bathroom includes a glass shower enclosure, vanity and WC, and offers direct access from the pool for complete convenience of use.

And the reason why this property is your perfect fit? Because if the location alone doesn't seal the deal, the incredible family comfort and exceptional added extras will.
