Buyer's Agent in Kilsyth

Kilsyth is one of our team's personal investment zones — we practice what we preach. The PremiumRea principals have their own money invested in Kilsyth, validating the suburb's fundamentals. Large lots, affordable entry for the eastern suburbs, and proximity to Ringwood make it an ideal "buy and hold" suburb with development optionality. That is our assessment based on our own transaction record — historical data, not a forecast.

The average investor purchase price we record in Kilsyth 3137 is $780K, within an observed range of $700,000 – $900,000. We have no tracked transactions in this suburb yet — the figures are research rather than transaction history.

The average land size we record in Kilsyth is 800 sqm, within a range of 650 – 1,000 sqm. Land size is what decides small second dwelling feasibility in Victoria — the Amendment VC253 permit exemption threshold is 300 sqm.

Kilsyth is in Victoria, so Amendment VC253 applies: no planning permit is usually required where the lot is in the RGZ, GRZ or NRZ, is larger than 300 sqm, the second dwelling is 60 sqm or less, and there is only one existing dwelling on the lot. The average block in Kilsyth is 800 sqm. Overlays and restrictive covenants can independently trigger a permit and must be checked lot by lot.
