Property Overview
A quick summary of this property's key insights, risks and local context.
The Block
95/100
Standout land
A generous, wide block with a north-facing yard and strong land value, despite minor HCA and flood checks.
Convenience & Lifestyle
52/100
Car-dependent
No rail within 3km and ferry is a lifestyle bonus, so commuting relies on the car. Daily errands are easy with shops, cafes, and parks close by.
Price Positioning
60/100
Mixed price signals
Pocket sits near suburb median while recent comps are significantly above, pulling in different directions; condition and finish should carry more weight.
