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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,016,000 (10 Aug 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 801 m² against a 195 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in St Marys (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,275/m² of land (n=44). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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 $558/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.

Listing material

Listed by Harris Real Estate Kent Town

Evolve, divide, or settle in – it all starts with a 801sqm slice of St. Marys…

Radiating opportunity to relish, renovate, or redevelop, 53 Tobruk Avenue is a rare framework that's enticingly capable of every option equally.

From solid brick construction, to wide picture windows that flood natural light over every inch, to polished timber floors, C1958 calibre is celebrated across the entirety of the family footprint, offering the ultimate framework for your next era.

With living zones stretching from a brick and timber-wrapped front lounge with wood log gas heater for the toastiest winters, to an open-plan kitchen that overlooks double dining area, with a bonus dedicated study for work-from-home days, it's a layout defined by fluidity.

Read the full description

That flexibility is echoed in the slumber zones, main bedroom suite with private ensuite, while three additional double bedrooms are tucked in their own wing, each complete with built-in robes and serviced by a family bathroom.

Hinting at manse origins, an extensive rear studio delivers enviable scope to set up exactly as you like, direct driveway access enabling potential for your home business or the ideal hideaway for adult children and independence-craving teens.

Soaking up sunrays from coveted northern orientation, a master planned rear yard is ready green thumbs to thrive, with raised veggie beds and mature fruit trees on hand for the ultimate home harvest. Showcasing the full scale of the 801sqm allotment, it also presents ample room for a custom extension, swimming pool, high-spec outdoor entertaining suite, or all the above.

Seconds from the best of St Marys, whether it's La Crema for your morning coffee, iconic Pasadena Foodland for the gourmet grocery run, Shepherds Hill Recreation Park for bushwalks, or big box shopping on South Road. Coveted zoning for Unley High and easy access to Flinders University ensures educational success, while it's only 20 minutes to the CBD, or 15 minutes west to hit the sands of Adelaide's best beaches.

The next chapter belongs entirely to you. Harness the full extent of the block to build your dream home, subdivide or redevelop (STCC) with the existing dwelling keeping a watchful eye over the block as you finalise plans and approvals, upscale the existing home into something special, or simply cherish exactly as-is.

No matter your plan, the future looks bright.
