Detached houses with large land are the most popular property type in Australia.

​When searching for a house, the first thing to look at is the value and ratio of the land. By comprehensive research on housing supply and demand, future supply in the surrounding area, ratio of rental houses to residential houses, school zone, infrastructure, population inflow, etc.

Blue-chip properties in Eastern/South Eastern Suburbs

Case Study - 663m2 Corner Block with potential for subdivision

Screenshot 2023-10-27 231117.png

Located 19km from Melbourne CBD. Purchased with the plan to hold and knock down and build two new houses. Large land of 663m2. Purchased at a lower price than the market price, the price increased by more than $200,000 in one year. The rental yield is low, but the purchase focuses on capital gains and development. Profit of over $1 million is expected when two new units are built. ​When building two houses with a corner block, you can try to receive two different addresses (STCA), and it is possible to build two independent houses without a common space. Purchase price 1.28 million (September 2022), current market price 1.55-1.6 million (February 2024).

Purchased an old house on 670m2 of land in eastern Melbourne for $1.14 million (2021). After demolition, two new townhouses were built (duplex). Land subdivided into two lots (330m2 and 340m2). Both townhouses were sold off the plan before construction is completed (2023). Sold for $1.65m & $1.75m. Estimated income of over $600,000-$800,000 after interest and tax.
