Given the $100,012 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $100,012(Listing record · 20 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationLand 933 m² against a 186 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Ainslie (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,984/m² of land (n=37). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 92% below the Ainslie median recorded sale ($1,265,000, n=21, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Ainslie's advertised median rent ($367/wk), implied gross yield would be 19.08% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Australian Capital Territory schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

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 $367/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 19.1%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Listing material

Listed by HOME.BYHOLLY

Timelessly Reimagined

As soon as you enter the front door, there is the hush and welcome of a perfectly curated world.. We love the recessed wall niches for display of loved objects, the attention to storage, and the cohesive and organic scheme. Think light timber floors, whitewashed walls, pops of warm earthy notes, soft eucalypt green.

This elegant family home blends the charming form of a vintage Tocumwal with immaculate contemporary interiors. There is the classic Ainslie appeal - neat green hedges, an arbour-sheltered entryway, meandering front garden, shady front porch. Step inside to find a soothing materiality illuminated by garden light, and there is wonderful balance and spaciousness to the extended plan. Think four peaceful bedrooms and a choice of social spaces that includes a sprawling family hub that spills to alfresco life within the easy-care gardens. Think lots of sustainable upgrades that deliver efficient, temperate living all year round, including solar, a heat pump hot water system, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, double glazing and updated insulation.

The home wears a silvery grace and rises from landscaped gardens with meandering pathways and delicate native grasses. Sweet-smelling roses and jonquils edge the front veranda where you can sit and enjoy the comings and goings of the street. There is also a long driveway that travels down one side, ushering in a two-car tandem carport. Here, side entry provides access to the laundry/mudroom/pantry that opens into the kitchen and the living and dining space beyond.

Read the full description

The heart of the home combines cooking, eating, and lounging and opens to embrace the north-easterly gardens. Life easily morphs from inside to out, perfect for both daily life and easy entertaining. There is a sunny alfresco stage - paved terrace, raked shelter, ceiling fan, and lovely views across the garden. Here, mature plantings create a green enclosure, and there are productive raised vegetable beds alongside a greenhouse and a myriad of fruiting trees.

The kitchen is big and welcoming, with a floating central island and banks of endless storage. Delicate timber handles match the duo of timber pendants that illuminate the stone worktops. The adjacent pantry/laundry/mudroom is finished concordantly - striking green splash back set against moody dark stone.

The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and is privileged by glass sliders that open to the north, where a private deck invites you to enjoy healing garden moments. All four bedrooms have built-in robes, ceiling fans and ducted A/C to keep things breezy on warm summer nights. The family bathroom is a gorgeous affair with its earthy tiled floors, textural mosaic walls, and roomy walk-in shower room.

The home is within walking distance of the bustling Ainslie shops, home to Edgar's gastro pub, the award-winning IGA and hatted Pilot Restaurant. Schools including Ainslie School, North Ainslie Primary School, Merici College and Lyneham High School and transport are close to hand, including the light rail. It is just moments to the independent restaurants and bars of the Dickson and Braddon precincts. There is the peace of the nearby reserve and local parklands and the Mt Ainslie nature walks and bike track along Sullivan's Creek to ANU are also close by, and it is a mere 3.6 kms to the CBD
