Given the $640,000–$680,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $640,000–$680,000(Listing record · 21 July 2026)
  • CalculationAsk is 44% 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 4.68% — 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.

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 4.7%. 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.

The home

Why choose between city convenience and a coastal lifestyle when you can have both?

Fully furnished, flexible and positioned between the CBD and the beach, this is the kind of Plympton opportunity that makes sense from day one. A smart first home, a flexible investment and a location that continues to hold its appeal.

Read the full description

For investors seeking flexibility beyond a standard long-term tenancy, this fully furnished two-bedroom apartment presents a smart opportunity in a well-connected Plympton location. Its flexible bedroom configuration, dedicated study nook, secure parking and spacious balcony create broad appeal for long-term tenants, while the furnished setup and convenient position between the CBD, airport and coast has previously benefitted as short-stay accommodation, giving greater flexibility of use for the investor.

For first-home buyers, this is an opportunity to step into an established suburb without giving up the lifestyle that matters. Once the property becomes vacant, the fully furnished setup makes moving in refreshingly simple, with the essentials already in place and no immediate need to spend thousands furnishing a new home. With comfortable living spaces, a modern kitchen, room to work from home and an outdoor area made for relaxed summer evenings, it offers an easy first move into home ownership in a location that keeps the city, coast, transport and everyday essentials within practical reach.

The property is held within a community corporation rather than a strata corporation, an arrangement many buyers value for its more straightforward approach to shared property and common-area management.

Why you’ll love it:

* Master bedroom with queen sized bed and BIR’s

* Second bedroom with 2 single beds which can also convert to a queen bed, and BIRs

* Open plan living dining area which looks out onto the balcony

* Balcony area is spacious and offers an additional seating area with BBQ, perfect for those warm summer nights

* Modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and dishwasher

* Dedicated study nook, perfect for those needing a home office space

* Luxurious bathroom with full sized bath and separate shower

* Reverse cycle ducted air-conditioning throughout

* Carport parking for 1 car behind secure gates

* Fully furnished

The lifestyle:

Few suburbs make it this easy to enjoy both city convenience and a coastal lifestyle. Positioned approximately 6km from Adelaide’s CBD and around 4km from Glenelg, Plympton places work, weekends and everyday essentials within easy reach. The suburb is well connected by buses and the Glenelg tram line, while nearby schools include Plympton Primary School and Plympton International College, for which the property sits within the catchment. Add local shopping, parks and easy access to Jetty Road’s cafés, dining and beachfront, and it’s easy to understand why Plympton remains a consistently sought-after choice for buyers, tenants and investors.
