Where Does Land Size Fit Into a Clear Island Waters Valuation?

Clear Island Waters owners preparing to sell should look beyond bedroom count when reviewing comparable transactions. Recent four-bedroom house sales demonstrate how land size, presentation and individual property characteristics can produce very different results.

The four-bedroom home at 27 Martingale Circuit, positioned on approximately 582m², sold for $1.234 million on 25 August 2026. Only a week later, the four-bedroom home at 44 Martingale Circuit sold at auction for $1.825 million on a much larger 1,000m² site.

Villa property represents another segment. The closest recent published villa result was 3 Bristol Fry/125 Santa Cruz Boulevard, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom villa that sold for $1.252 million on 12 August—eight days before the preferred valuation period.

For sellers, these results show why simply searching for the same bedroom count is not enough. A detached residence with substantial land should usually be assessed differently from a villa, while even two four-bedroom houses may require adjustments for lot size, renovations, garaging, outdoor areas and position.

A Clear Island Waters property appraisal should focus on what makes the property genuinely comparable rather than applying a broad suburb average.
