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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $360,000 (30 May 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

SA

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $505/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

Pristine Potential on a Dream Block

Best Offer By: 12 Noon, 5 June 2024 (unless sold prior)

Price: $330,000 to $339,000

Modest it may be, yet its mission might turn into something incredible if your passion project prevails a corner-turn from Cadell Street.

Read the full description

A whizz around this basic 2-bedroom home won't take long - the level allotment with its valuable north-facing rear a little longer, given its 724m2 dimensions ideal for a newbuild, a substantial rethink or extension of its present, pristine improvements.

As an extra-valuable bonus, those with prized watercraft will praise the 8m x 12m high clearance garage on site with dual roller doors and drive-through accessibility; newly installed rear fencing, a rear pergola, and low care grounds only add to the property's monumental merit.

The spic-and-span downsizer welcomes with a front-to-back expanse of living and dining plus a retro kitchen immortalised in its era, breakfast dining bench and all; the beige bathroom of the same ilk (with separate WC) services the two front-facing bedrooms.

Worthy extras include roller shutters, ceiling fans, and wall-mounted climate comfort, plus furnishings as you see them, creating a walk-in, walk-out opportunity.

Demolish and dream or sit tight and enjoy the simple things like sunny afternoons under the shade-clothed pergola, a beach or river stroll, or a tipple at the Goolwa Wharf Precinct.

From its town centre spoils, local schools, and popular cafes, it sits in a family favourite holiday locale that pulls permanent and part-time rental potential - how far you take the renovations will reflect in your rental returns.

As for lifestyle, it's endless and priceless. For pub meals, café brunches as the Cockle Train chugs past, a swing over the bridge to Hindmarsh Island, or fishing the Fleurieu via the Coorong.

Less is often more, and Kessell couldn't make the simple life more exciting...

Its quaint & full of promise:

Brilliant renovation or addition potential

Neat & level 724sqm (approx.) allotment

Generous 8m x 12m (approx.) garage with drive-through access

Façade roller shutters

North-facing rear aspect & shaded pergola

Near original & immaculate interiors

Newly installed rear fencing

Wall-mounted R/C air conditioner

Living & master bedrooms with ceiling fans

Close by to Goolwa's town centre & retail strip

Moments to Goolwa Oval, Skate Park & Investigator College

A 7-minute drive to Goolwa Beach & Kuti Shack

Just over 1 hour from Adelaide

*For sale with a walk-in, walk-out furnished option.
