26 Applejack Boulevard, Clyde VIC 3978

No flood risk | No body corporate | 6.63kW solar included | FTTP & 5G This property sits in a narrow band of trade-offs. The absence of body corporate fees is a real cash advantage, saving roughly $2,500-$4,000 annually compared to comparable townhouses, and the solar system offsets roughly $800-$1,200 in electricity yearly. The risk is the 147m² lot size is tight for a townhouse, limiting future extension potential and possibly resale appeal to families who prioritise indoor-outdoor flow. The price-per-square-metre at $4,320 is above Clyde’s median for this footprint, so a buyer must confirm the internal floorplan justifies the land cost. Buy here only if you plan to hold five years or rent out immediately; flipping is not supported by recent growth of 2.8%. What makes this competitively rare is the combination of no body corporate and FTTP NBN — most townhouses in this price band carry quarterly fees and slower broadband. The ensuite plus three bedrooms with floorboards and built-in robes positions it strongly for owner-occupiers wanting low-maintenance living, especially first-home buyers on a $600,000 budget. Rental yield at 4.65% hits the upper end for Clyde, making it a viable holding for investors seeking cash flow rather than capital gain. The most recent comparable sale for a townhouse on Applejack Boulevard was 9 Applejack Boulevard, at $1,184,000 on 541m². This property’s price equates to roughly half the land size at half the value, suggesting reasonable alignment per square metre. The next step is to inspect the property for actual build quality and balcony orientation — the listing claims natural light, but only a site visit confirms whether it delivers.
