8 Brookhouse Street, Clyde North VIC 3978

4 bed, 2 bath, Delaray Estate | Opposite exclusive resident club | 5.7 energy score, solar | 3.9% yield, growth suburb The buying case here turns on its positioning opposite Club Delaray’s resident facilities, a rare configuration edge that gives the property a social and lifestyle premium over most new estate offerings. The 237m² building footprint on a 400m² lot is efficient, not cramped, and the neutral palette with dedicated zones for work and entertaining suits a professional couple or young family wanting move-in convenience. The 5.7 energy score with solar panels is a genuine running-cost advantage, and the 3.9% rental yield signals demand is real, not speculative. This is not a trophy house but a well-placed, low-fuss holding. The primary risk is the 2022 sale price of $920,000 against a current listing of $750,000–$825,000, which suggests the market has softened significantly for this estate. That gap is not a flaw in the property but a buyer opportunity if you can negotiate below the midpoint. No flood or bushfire overlays remove insurance surprises, and the Opticomm FTTP is a supporting value add for remote work. The 2.2% suburb growth is modest, so capital gains will come from holding through a cycle, not flipping. Buy it for the configuration edge and yield, not for a quick resale.
