51 Francis Forde Boulevard, Forde ACT 2914

Modern 4-bedder in Forde | compact 185sqm block | strong rental yield potential | FTTP included This property presents a compelling buying case for those seeking a low-maintenance, modern home in a well-established Gungahlin suburb. The combination of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a double garage on a manageable 185sqm lot is rare in this price bracket, offering genuine scarcity for downsizers or investors targeting the 77% owner-occupied demographic. The fibre-to-the-premises connectivity adds a practical edge for remote workers, while the absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays simplifies due diligence. It serves best as a turnkey residence for a young family or as a high-yield rental, given the estimated $775pw return against a median house price of $1.2m. The primary risk is the price discrepancy between listings and recent sales data, with one source indicating a $906,000 transaction that may signal market softness or a data error. The 185sqm lot is compact, limiting future extension potential, and the 149-223sqm floor area range suggests some spaces may be smaller than expected. However, the 44 houses sold locally this year and 56% auction clearance rate indicate steady demand, and the property’s position in a priority enrolment area for well-regarded schools adds long-term appeal for family buyers.
