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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $957,000 (10 Nov 2023).(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

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 $445/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

    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.

A STUNNING FAMILY HOME FOR THE FUTURE

If you're buying a home for the family, that means thinking ahead and purchasing a home that will meet your needs as your lifestyle and family evolves. This exceptionally well-maintained and beautifully presented residence is certain to fulfil all your family's needs.

Set well back from the street in an elevated position, walk up the driveway and marvel at the densely planted, low-maintenance gardens welcoming you into the home.

The L-shaped lounge and dining room leads through to another spacious, open-plan living area that's north-facing to create a sun-filled family sanctuary that flows onto the private covered entertaining area with its adjacent BBQ nook, overlooking the lush, mature gardens. The perfect place to entertain family and friends in the soon-to-arrive warmer weather.

Read the full description

The modern kitchen has a Bosch dishwasher, self-cleaning electric oven and gas cooktop, microwave hutch, vented rangehood, pantry and a breakfast bar.

Leading up to the private king-sized main bedroom with its north-facing bay window overlooking the gardens, an ensuite bathroom with twin vanity and walk-in robe there is a functional study nook which looks into the garden. An ideal spot for working from home or a study area for the children.

The remaining three bedrooms all have built-in robes and the laundry, with access to the garden, has generous storage cupboards.

The main bathroom has a modern bath, shower, vanity, and separate toilet, with bedroom 4 having direct access to the bathroom too.

For the handy people in the family, or if you have a hobby, a large workshop with a workbench, power and shelving is located adjacent to the carport plus there's an extra garden shed at the rear of the yard.

Ducted gas heating, ceiling fans and wall-mounted reverse cycle air conditioners provide year-round temperature comfort.

Bonython Pre and Primary schools and South Point Shopping Centre are all a short distance away and for those family members who enjoy walking, running, or cycling, the Pine Island nature reserve is also close by. Public transport is available a short stroll down the street.

The suburb is named after Sir John Langdon Bonython, the owner of The Advertiser (Adelaide) who promoted Federation, and was a member of the first Australian parliament.

Streets in Bonython are named after prominent South Australians, particularly journalists, and South Australian Districts and Rivers

After 27 years the current owners are now ready to offer their much loved and well cared for home to the next family who they know will enjoy it as much as they have.
