| MDR zoning | High — sweet spot for many projects |
| Corner position | High — design and access advantages |
| Transport proximity | High — end-buyer premium |
| LMR with large lots | Moderate — townhouse potential |
| Character/Heritage overlay | Lower — restrictions limit options |
Emerging Opportunities
Watch for streets where council has increased density, adjacent streets have seen successful developments, or infrastructure projects are approaching completion. Early sellers in emerging hotspots often achieve the best outcomes.
