The good, the bad, the ugly narrative verdict — evidence in the lens below · edit data/verdicts.json

The good

Murrumba Downs station in-suburb (Redcliffe Peninsula line), Redcliffe Hospital catchment, North Lakes retail next door, and the corridor's lowest crime tier (violent −63% vs benchmark). The best past-growth arithmetic in my pack (price 14.6%/yr, rent 10.4%/yr, clean consistent series), built out with scattered listings only — real scarcity.

The bad

A 3.4% yield (score 4.0) and a thin rental base — only 27% of homes are rentals — mean a shallower tenant pool and top-up territory at LRBA rates, though the 4:1 room-demand ratio shows the demand that exists is solid. Mixed-era 1990s-2010s stock carries house-by-house upkeep the fund pays for.

The ugly

The North Pine River floodplain underlies parts of the suburb; river-adjacent streets carry riverine exposure, so flood status is street-dependent and needs an address-level Flood Check.

Net read from the data

A solid, low-crime, transit-served long hold with excellent growth history and built-out scarcity — the cash-flow drag (thin rental base, sub-4% yield) is the price. Suits a growth-oriented SMSF with contribution headroom that buys newer stock on verified high ground away from the river.
