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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $950,000 (27 Oct 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 749 m² against a 125 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in St James (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,854/m² of land (n=75). 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.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

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 749 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 749 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.

"Opportunity" Starts at the verge...

Finding opportunity doesn't necessarily mean you have to start from a low base.

Sometimes, everything essential presents itself and everything you always wanted, is just a step or two away.

55 Alvah street, is that solid base, that sturdy Easel, offering a comfortable beginning with much more than just a blank canvas to work from.

Read the full description

A generational home that providing safe harbour to all of life's wonderful journey, trials and joys alike, '55 Alvah' can assure all interested of comfort and security, as soon as you move in. Already generous in size, space and comfort, once settled, other than adding your own colour, there's not alot required here to make you feel 'at home'.

Not your average 'War service home' floor design, the rear room is more than double the usual size with an apparant purpose built extension to accomodate a growing family,

a nice sized garden and a carport adjacent, workshop/shed with asbestos roof and walls replaced with colorbond. Inside the bathroom has been renovated for ease of access and contemporary looks. A big country sized kitchen / dining space opens onto the rear laundry/toilet which in turn has ample room for a prestige 2nd bathroom renovation?

With a large undercroft/patio for outdoor entertainment and year round outdoor dining/leisure options, there is nothing amiss here other than the possibility of missing the the chance to secure a generous, 'inner urban 746 Sqm lot with home and haven only 8km from the CBD', only a stroll either way around the corner/s to large reserves/ manicured parks and great public schools, not to mention, premium public transport access and great shopping options in all directions.

Be quick to inspect, as property this well positioned, this well presented, this well priced, in such a market short of quality prospects, will not last long...

Call Julian (0419936202) and Jackson (0420719978) for information and inspection/s and/or come to one of our scheduled home opens.
