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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $745,000 (16 Dec 2024).(Recorded sale)

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 $437/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.

bush location

#soldbymcreynolds #soldbycris $745,000

This peaceful and immaculate three-bedder rests close to the foothills of Mt Majura, and is steeped in a country meets city ethos, just moments from the Dickson and Braddon precincts, and a short light rail ride to the CBD. The quiet colours of the surrounding bushland whisper within the home, as carpets in soft earthy brown stretch to meet white walls.

There is a peaceful remove to this part of the world, as quiet streets, loop past an array of low-lying residential developments and neat rows of homes. There is the hush and expanse of the nearby bush, the endless walking trials, the nearby parklands and the peace of no-through traffic. Yet this locale is brilliantly positioned to take advantage of all the boutiques, cafes and eateries that colour life within the vibrant inner north.

Read the full description

The living and dining area is lovely and open with a well-designed kitchen, neatly housed in one corner. There is a large central island bench, perfect for relaxed gatherings and helping hands. Softly flecked worktops meet white tiled splash backs, with banks of cabinetry introducing a note of natural taupe. This lovely hub is openly conversational and perfect for relaxed meals and entertaining with family and friends.

Two peaceful bedrooms are housed at the front of the home, both connecting to a generous family bathroom and each have the luxury of mirrored built-in-robes. The second bedroom overlooks a pebbled courtyard and both have large windows that welcome light. The bathroom is nicely appointed with the convenience of a bathtub, there is also a separate powder room making life easy.

The third bedroom is nicely sequestered to the rear of the home and overlooks a garden courtyard. Again, there is a built-in-robe for seamless storage and all bedrooms are softly carpeted to keep things cosy. The courtyard garden has a water tank and raised vegetable beds for growing your favourite veggies.

The Fair is an excellent development famous for its ready access to Clancy's Walking Track and Valour Park. There is a strong community vibe with street library and a productive vegetable garden for all to share. There is also a community centre, playground and a BBQ spot, so you can get together with neighbours or friends and enjoy the natural surrounds. Watson shops are not far, for great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or casual dining at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. You can walk to the popular Famer's Market at Epic and the home is handy to both the dynamic Dickson and Braddon precincts. The brand new Watson playground has now opened and the home is convenient to a mix of private and public schools. With easy access to transport, including the light rail, you can't go wrong.
