Given the $899,000–$949,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $899,000–$949,000(Listing record · 12 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationAsk is 22% below the Plympton median recorded sale ($1,152,500, n=30, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Plympton's advertised median rent ($576/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.33% — 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.

Verify with your conveyancer.

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 $576/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.3%. 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. 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.

A New-Build Move with City-to-Beach Reach

3 SOLD. ONLY 2 REMAINING

With brand-new builds more compelling than ever, these remaining townhouses arrive in a seriously well-connected spot, smack bang between the CBD and Glenelg and just steps from a nature reserve.

Crisp, contemporary and completely uninterested in weekend maintenance, these light-filled three-bedroom homes give buyers the rare chance to start with a clean slate, while investors can take advantage of the appeal of a low-maintenance, modern property.

Read the full description

Unit 4

The ground floor keeps things social and stylish with a long open-plan living and dining zone, herringbone-style floors, downlights, ducted comfort and wide glass sliders that draw the rear courtyard into the room.

The kitchen cuts a moody figure with black cabinetry, stone benchtops, gas cooking, dishwasher, breakfast bar, pendant lighting and plenty of storage to keep the clean lines intact.

Upstairs delivers the surprise: a second lounge that makes this three-bedroom layout far more flexible than the average townhouse.

The main bedroom adds a walk-in robe, ensuite and private balcony, while the central bathroom, ground-floor powder room and tandem carport parking keep the practical boxes firmly ticked.

Unit 5

Stylish open-plan living and dining creates an inviting centrepiece, complemented by herringbone-style floors, downlights, ducted comfort and wide glass sliders opening onto the covered pergola.

The kitchen continues the contemporary feel with black cabinetry, stone benchtops, gas cooking, dishwasher, breakfast bar, pendant lighting and ample storage.

Upstairs comprises three generously sized bedrooms designed with comfort and privacy in mind. The luxurious main suite features a private ensuite and spacious walk-in robe, creating the perfect retreat, while the two additional bedrooms are serviced by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Unit 5 also comes with the added advantage of a double-width garage.

Plympton puts the CBD, Glenelg, the airport, tram links, Kurralta Park shopping and everyday conveniences within one very useful orbit - the kind of address everyone is actively looking for.
