  • FactLand 1,179 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Belgrave (last 5 years) with land size: median $745/m² of land (n=135). 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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $628/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Whimsy, Space & Character in the BEST Belgrave Pocket

There’s something about a home with a past - one that’s grown with its family, mellowed with the seasons, and still holds onto its charm. Originally a 1930s treasure (with the allure of art deco ceiling roses to prove it), this soul-filled sanctuary has been extended and loved into a sprawling family haven with room for everyone, and then some.

Facing north on one of Belgrave’s most convenient streets, the home basks in sunlight and valley views, with Borthwick Park and the outdoor pool just a short stroll away. And with the bus stop at your door and the station only 900m down the road, life here is equal parts leafy serenity and commuter convenience.

Step inside and feel the welcome. Two living zones with the gleam of polished floors underfoot offer their own distinct moods - one skylit and serene behind French doors, the other warmed by an open fire, where sliding doors flow to a deck inviting the garden in. The lavishly sized kitchen features industrial style stainless steel benchtops and appliances and is framed by windows that pull in garden views and changing skies, making even workday morning coffee feel like a moment.

Read the full description

Five bedrooms are generously spread out for privacy and peace, including a main retreat with ensuite and study/tv nook. A powered bungalow with split system is the ultimate chameleon - office, art studio, guest quarters - you choose.

Outside, the gardens are equal parts functional and fairytale, with salvias dancing in the breeze, veggie beds at arm’s reach, and paved spaces for long, slow barbecues under the stars. Potter perfect, there’s an array of English style delights that attract the birds and the bees including lavender, daisies and a host of fruit trees such as plum, lime, lemon, mandarin, apple and apricot so you’ll always have a fresh harvest.

The grounds are also fully fenced for pets and there’s enough undercover parking for the whole crew in the triple sized garage.

This is the kind of home that grows with you, gives you room to dream, and keeps surprising you with just how good hills living can feel.

At a Glance:

• 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom family haven with 1930s charm and thoughtful extensions on a ¼ acre. Additional 3rd toilet in laundry.

• Powered studio/bungalow ideal for guests, creatives, or working from home

• North-facing block with leafy valley views and a sun-filled orientation

• Two distinct living areas - one with skylights and French doors, one with open fire and meals zone

• Generous kitchen with stainless steel benchtops, garden views, and plenty of scope for an island addition

• Main retreat with ensuite and private study/tv nook

• Garden lovers will swoon over the whimsical, potter-perfect yard with salvias, veggie patches, and paved courtyard

• 3-car garage at the entrance, storage shed/chook house, water tanks, solar panels, fully fenced block

• Ducted heating, evaporative cooling, split systems and wood heater for year-round comfort

• Walk to Belgrave station, Belgrave main street shops, schools, parks, pool, and more
