14 Highlands Avenue, Gordon NSW 2072

Gordon premium not guaranteed | oversupplied prestige market | garden maintenance cost risk | single bidder sale likely The property carries a clear premium for its garden setting and full brick construction but that premium becomes a liability in a market where buyers discount for maintenance burden and privacy at the expense of street presence. The 2016 sale at $2.225m now sits beneath a $4m ask that demands comparable withdrawal prices above $3.8m to justify; without recent comparable transactions above $3.6m for similar east-side blocks under 900sqm the buyer faces a hold period where value growth may lag suburb median. This is best held as a long term family retreat not a short term flip. What sets this house apart is the internal garden outlook from every living area which is genuinely rare for a Gordon full brick home and hard to replicate without significant landscaping cost. The child-friendly lawns and three living spaces give a multi-generational household a natural advantage over newer townhouse product. This suits a buyer who values a finished garden over floor area and will pay for the privacy buffer between neighbouring properties. The FTTP connection supports a professional working from home but is not a decision point here. Now check the recent sales within 500m to see if any garden comparable cleared above $3.6m or if this block is being priced against homes with better street access. That will tell you whether the ask has room to fall or if you are already looking at fair value.
