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

Why this property?

  • CalculationRecorded House sales in St James (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,847/m² of land (n=76). 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 129 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 129 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.

SOLD, SOLD, SOLD !!!!!

Discover effortless low maintenance living in a stylish double-storey residence nestled in one of Perth's most accessible pockets. Located within a boutique strata block of just four homes, this 2023 custom built property offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, thoughtfully configured for modern family life and smart living.

On the ground floor you'll find the main bedroom with ensuite alongside the open plan living, dining and kitchen zone - the heart of the home. The interior has been freshly painted and features sleek stone bench-tops throughout, delivering a refined and low maintenance aesthetic. Split system air conditioning has been installed in the main living area and three of the bedrooms, so comfort is covered no matter the season.

Upstairs you'll find the three remaining bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate activity room - ideal for kids, guests or a dedicated study space. The layout offers a great balance between shared family zones and private retreats.

Read the full description

Outside, the home is complemented by a stunning courtyard, designed for easy living and minimal upkeep. A mature orange tree - more than 50 years old - adds character and seasonal refreshment in your own outdoor space. A single carport adds convenience whilst there is plenty of space for a second car at the front of the home and aligns with the low maintenance theme.

And the location? It's a standout. Situated in the inner south east suburb of St James, you'll be just around 7km from the heart of the Perth CBD, making both work commutes and city side leisure remarkably easy. The area offers excellent connectivity - major roads such as Albany Highway and Leach Highway are close by, and public transport options are convenient for daily travel. Let's also not forget you are only a short walk to the Welshpool Train Station.

St James also appeals to families and professionals alike. You'll find local parks and green spaces, a residential character that blends established streetscapes with newer builds, and a neighbourhood that supports a relaxed yet connected lifestyle. In short, this home gives you the best of both worlds - a modern, easy care residence plus a location that offers genuine convenience and lifestyle appeal.

With its contemporary design, everyday practicality and superb setting, this home is a complete package for professionals, young families or down-sizers looking to simplify without compromise.
