9 Van Dieman Cres Fairfield West NSW 2165

3-bedroom house on 645sqm | Fairfield West | owner-occupied street | strong auction clearance rate This property offers a rare combination of a functional three-bedroom layout on a generous 645sqm block in a street where 70% of neighbours are owner-occupiers—a signal of stable, long-term demand. The absence of flood, bushfire, or heritage overlays removes common friction points for buyers, while the proximity to Fairfield West Public School and Westfields Sports High School adds practical appeal for families. With a median 77% auction clearance rate in the suburb and a 15-day average selling period, this house is positioned in a market that rewards decisive buyers. It best suits owner-occupiers seeking a family-friendly pocket with room to improve, or investors chasing a 3.2% rental yield in a low-risk location. The primary risk is the 2019 purchase price of $605,000, which suggests limited recent renovation or structural uplift—any deferred maintenance will cut into the buyer’s margin. The 98-day selling period in 2019 indicates this property can sit longer in a slower market, so a buyer should budget for holding costs if conditions soften. The opportunity lies in the 645sqm block: while the house is modest, the land offers scope for a future extension or granny flat, subject to council approval. Hold this property as a long-term land bank in a stable suburb, and only renovate if you can add value without overcapitalising for the street.
