Given the $1,750,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,750,000(Listing record · 5 Apr 2024)
  • FactLand 3,818 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Romsey (last 5 years) with land size: median $588/m² of land (n=119). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 106% above the Romsey median recorded sale ($850,000, n=63, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Romsey's advertised median rent ($545/wk), implied gross yield would be 1.62% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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.

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: Victoria schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Capital growth

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $545/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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 1.6%. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Listing material

Listed by Bound Real Estate

‘Girrahween’ a masterpiece on 3,818sqm approx. with two street frontages

“Why we like the property” (agent perspective)

Privately nestled within almost an acre of gardens lies this amazing family home.

Just five minutes’ walk from the Primary School, Kindergarten and historic township with its community hub, shops, restaurants and cafes, it is a truly rare offering in the heart of Romsey.

Read the full description

Experience country living whilst having easy access to Melbourne (train station at nearby Clarkfield) and Melbourne Airport (only 30 minutes way) if needed.

Whilst the original part of the home was built in 1860, the property has no heritage overlay and no aspects of the property are listed on any heritage register, allowing you to renovate as you wish or knock down and fully develop the land with its two street frontages.

“What the property offers” (property perspective)

Step across the tessellated tiled verandah to discover your new home.

With 2 lounge areas, 5 bedrooms, study and 2 bathrooms, there is plenty of room.

The interior exudes character; featuring high ceilings, timber floors, decorative cornices, high skirtings, lead light windows and fire places (open fire places and wood heater). There is additional reverse cycle heating and cooling and underfloor heating and heated towel rails in the bathroom.

The spacious kitchen features a 900mm De’Longhi oven, 5 burner gas cooktop and double sink.

The outdoor alfresco area seamlessly connects to the sun-drenched living and dining rooms and overlooks the garden, perfect for gathering with friends and family.

A new roof and 10kw solar power, 2 sheds and a garage with rear access completes the picture.

Whilst the property is one title, the studio is rated separately to the main house, allowing for a B&B or granny flat to be created in the studio, which was previously the doctor’s surgery for the town.

“What you love about the property” (vendor perspective)

Period features give the home character and natural light floods each room.

The strategically planted garden offers privacy and a sense of serenity, but we can step through the front or back gate and it’s only a few minutes’ walk to the school or shops. The garden features a magnificent oak tree planted in 1894 which compliments the Japanese maples, pear tree, persimmon, magnolias, camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas and well-established trees.

The property has been a much-loved family home for us, an amazing place to live.
