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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,250,000 (24 June 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 447 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in St James (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,841/m² of land (n=75). 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 447 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 $621/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 447 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.

A CUT ABOVE THE REST

Proudly presented by Edward Lim | Ray White ELG

It starts with that simple feeling - you pull into the driveway, and it just feels right. Welcome to 52A Palmerston Street!

A welcoming front yard greets you on arrival - something you don't often find in homes like this. It adds a nice sense of space, a bit of greenery, and a buffer from the street, whether it's for kids to play or simply to enjoy a little extra room outdoors.

Read the full description

From the moment you step inside, the home opens up in a way that's both welcoming and practical. There's a real sense of space here, not just in size, but in how everything flows. It's well-proportioned, thoughtfully laid out, and clearly well cared for, making everyday living feel easy.

At the front, the master bedroom offers a bit of separation and privacy, complete with a walk-in robe and its own ensuite. Just nearby, a versatile theatre room gives you options - whether that's movie nights, a home office, or even an extra bedroom when needed.

As you move through, the home naturally draws you into the main living zone - open, light-filled, and designed for real living. It's the kind of space where everything happens, from quiet nights in to hosting family and friends. The open plan kitchen is designed to be both functional and inviting, featuring a generous island bench that naturally becomes the heart of the home. With quality appliances, ample bench space, and plenty of storage, it's a space that makes everyday cooking feel easy while still being well-equipped for entertaining.

Slide open the glass doors and the alfresco becomes an extension of your living space. Finished with exposed aggregate concrete and complemented by low-maintenance garden beds, it's simple, clean, and easy to enjoy - perfect for weekend BBQs, morning coffees, or just unwinding without the upkeep.

The rear of the home has been cleverly designed as its own zone, with three generously sized bedrooms, all fitted with built-in robes. It's ideal for kids, guests, or a flexible work-from-home setup, supported by a well-appointed bathroom, a study nook, and great storage throughout.

And then there's the lifestyle that comes with it...

You're just moments from the vibrant Albany Highway cafe and restaurant strip, where good coffee and great food quickly become part of your routine. With Curtin University, the Swan River, and the Perth CBD all within easy reach - plus parks, schools, and public transport nearby - it's a location that balances convenience with a relaxed, community feel.

Built in 2012 and still presenting beautifully, this is a home that offers more space than most, a layout that truly works, and a lifestyle that's easy to step into.

It's simple... it just feels like home.
