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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,800,000 (24 Mar 2022).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Reid (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,375/m² of land (n=4). 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

ACT

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $430/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

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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.

With its myriad of engaging spaces, booroondara.home, is exceptional - a protected retreat in a captivating location, with unique history and enduring character.

Framed by a classic, curved entry portico and charming cottage garden, the home occupies a quiet street, sheltered by Spanish Oaks. Built in the 1920's as part of Canberra's first permanent housing, the home and its Reid neighbourhood, is synonymous with village life steeped in the qualities of another era - magical pathways, shared recreational areas, verdant gardens, community and cohesion. Lovingly re-imagined, booroondara.home has been thoughtfully extended and renovated by architect, Trevor Gibson. This four bedroom, two-storey home, offers a beautiful combination of privacy and connection, a hairbreadth from the city centre.

Read the full description

Updated for contemporary living and with original features conserved through-out, booroondara.home, confidently celebrates the old and the new. A generous mix of cedar doors, timber sash and modern bespoke windows, offer a balance of daylight and garden enclosure. While the clever floor-plan, with its private sleeping zones and multiple living spaces, is perfect for family life. Located within the epicentre of Canberra's thriving metropolis, this gorgeous family home also delivers, a seriously, exciting, urban lifestyle.

There is a feeling of peacefulness as you enter through the curves of the portico into the hall - to your immediate right, a formal dining room with views to the leafy frontage. The dining room opens to a sitting/living room, with fireplace for cold winter nights, built-in joinery and floor to ceiling glazings that connect to a private, north-facing courtyard.

Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and three lovely bedrooms, all with original features - high decorative ceilings, picture rails and timber sash windows offering a view of tree tops. Downstairs the sequestered master feels serene and connects to a generous ensuite with spa bath.

To the rear of the house, a large multi-functional space, combining kitchen and second living or meals area, opens dramatically to the outside. Glazings frame the entire north-east wall and flood the room with light. Modern yet simple - stone bench tops, plenty of storage, island bench on castors - the kitchen is a flexible, airy space, perfect for coming together with family and friends to enjoy indoor/outdoor entertaining.

The original laundry has been cleverly converted into a large walk-in pantry and a new European style laundry is discretely tucked into the corner.

The large rear garden is abundant and welcoming. Dine alfresco, beneath the wisteria draped arbors or relax beneath the box elder, in a cathedral of shade. Grow your own herbs and vegetables in the raised boxes. Work or create in one of two outdoor studios -the result of a clever garage conversion - overlooking the rich variety of plantings.

Known for its lush garden feel and ample green spaces, Reid is a coveted, heritage-listed, enclave, a short walking distance to the CBD, Braddon and Campbell precincts. The ever evolving centre of Canberra, offers a profusion of exciting, eating, dining, shopping and entertainment experiences. Handy to schools, colleges, the ANU and CIT, the home is also close to transport including the new metro city station, connecting you to all of Canberra.
