What this property is worth. AVM, weekly rent, land value, sales history, and the signals on the current listing.
These figures treat the property as an investment, applying the 80% LVR to our valuation estimate. Even an owner-occupied home would be negatively geared if it were bought and rented out at these numbers, the rent wouldn’t cover the loan and holding costs.
From 12 May 2026, new negative-gearing claims on established residential property are restricted under the federal budget. The numbers above use an ATO-calibrated cashflow model at 80% LVR of our valuation estimate (toggle for the 105% equity-release scenario), see the negative-gearing exposure summary for the methodology.
