No. Each one is something a listing or an agent said the home has, written down and passed on. Nobody from Byrz has been inside to confirm any of it, so treat the list as claims to check at an inspection rather than as findings.

How buying a home actually works

Buying a home is the same few steps every time.

What each step involves

Here they are in the order they actually happen, so you can see where reading this page fits in.

  1. Find out what you can borrow. Do this before you fall in love with a home. A lender or a mortgage broker works out how big a loan you could get, and that ceiling decides which homes are worth your Saturdays. It is called pre-approval, it is not a loan and it is not a promise, and asking for one costs you nothing.
  2. Go and stand in a few. Photographs flatter every home ever listed. An open home is free, nobody books you in, and you can leave after two minutes. Walking through five homes in one suburb teaches you what your money buys there, which is the thing no website can tell you.
  3. Pay somebody to check the home, and somebody to read the contract. A building and pest inspector finds what the photographs left out. A conveyancer or a solicitor reads the contract, which is the part that decides what happens if something goes wrong, and it is written before you ever see it. Both cost money, both are cheaper than what they find, and both happen before you sign rather than after.
  4. Then you make an offer, or you bid. An offer can usually be made subject to your finance and to the inspection, so you have a way out if either falls over. An auction sale usually has no cooling off period, so at an auction everything above has to be done before you raise your hand. After that comes settlement, which is a month or two of paperwork your conveyancer runs, and then the keys are yours.

You do not need an account for any of that. It does take months, though, and the homes you are weighing up will move while you are working through it.

Save this home and Byrz keeps watching it for you: price changes, and when the listing sells, goes under contract, is pulled or comes back.

Start watching this home

Auction

If this home goes to auction, you can register to bid and follow your own registration here.

The money

What buying this one would actually cost

The price is not the number you need: transfer duty, registry fees, a conveyancer and a building and pest inspection all come out of the same savings as your deposit, and Byrz works them out only from a price this listing states or one you put in, never one it invented.

Queensland only, for now

Byrz has transcribed the transfer duty schedule and the registry fees for Queensland, and so far only for Queensland. This home is in SA, so Byrz will not put Queensland rates on it and will not guess at another state's.

Everything else on this page is unaffected, and what each of these costs pays for is the same wherever you buy, so the notes below still hold. A conveyancer in that state will give you the duty and the fees before you sign anything.

What each of these costs pays for

Transfer duty is a tax on the transaction itself, paid to the state, and on most purchases it is far larger than everything else combined. The registration fees pay the state titles office to record who owns the lot and who holds the mortgage over it. Conveyancing pays a person to read the contract, run the searches that tell you whether the property is affected by anything, and move the money on settlement day. Building and pest pays an inspector to walk the home before you are committed.

Why two of these are ranges, not rates

A published rate is set by a government, either applies to you or does not, and you can check it against the schedule yourself in a minute. A typical range is an observation Byrz has made about what people are charged, and nobody is bound by it. A page that mixes the two into one total without saying which is which has misled you by its shape, whatever its words said. Ring two conveyancers and find out what yours will be.

Why none of this can go on the loan

A lender lends against the property, not against the cost of buying it, so none of these charges can be added to the loan. They come out of the same savings you were going to put down, and they come out first. That means the price you can reach is not your savings divided by a deposit percentage: it is your savings, minus all of this, divided by a deposit percentage. People find this out at the wrong end, usually a week before settlement.

What Byrz cannot know about this home

Byrz does not put a price on any home. Every figure here is worked out from one price: the one this listing states, or the one you put in yourself, and the card says which. Byrz does not know your savings, so it shows reference deposits rather than your position. It does not decide whether a concession applies to you: the state revenue office does that, on the transfer, and a conveyancer will tell you where you stand before you sign.

Encounter Bay, SA

Recently sold in this suburb

Recorded sales from the last 12 months, most recent first, one sale per home. As at 14 September 2026.

These are homes in this suburb that actually sold, and what they sold for, taken from the sale campaigns Byrz records. They are a snapshot as at the date shown, not a live feed, and they are not every sale in the suburb. This is not a valuation and Byrz does not give one: no figure here is about a home you are looking at. A licensed valuer or the selling agent is who to ask about a particular home.

Why a sold price is not an asking price

A sold price is different from an asking price. An asking price is what a seller hoped for, and a sold price is what a buyer actually paid, which makes recorded sales the plainest way to get a feel for a suburb.

Where these sales come from

Each linked sale opens that home's own records page, which shows what is held about it and where each piece came from.

What sold nearby

Homes near this one that actually sold, ranked by how closely each sale matches this home.

What these homes sold for

$700,000 to $1,100,000

The middle of these 6 sales is $745,000, over the last 18 months.

We could read condition from the photos for 2 of these 6 homes.

Sold prices are as reported by agency and portal feeds. Condition is read by Byrz from the photos it holds for each home, so it describes the home now rather than the day it sold.

These are homes near this one that actually sold, with what they sold for. We show you how each one differed, so you can see what is driving the price. This is not a valuation and Byrz does not give one. A licensed valuer or the selling agent is who to ask about this home's price.

How did Byrz choose and compare these sales?

Sold prices are the most honest signal in property: they are what someone actually paid, not what someone hoped. Look at how each home differs from this one, because those differences are what moves the number.

Byrz's software chose these sales by looking for homes like this one, and read the condition of each from the photos Byrz holds for that home. It can get both of those wrong: a home on this list may not be a fair comparison, and a reading taken from photos is not an inspection. The condition reading is how Byrz reads that home now, not how it looked on the day it sold. This is not a valuation and Byrz does not give one. A licensed valuer or the selling agent is who to ask about this home's price.

Time to sell (sold campaigns only): This is worked out from the 43 sales where Byrz saw both the day the home was listed and the day it sold. Another 27 listings in this suburb, 38.6% of them, stopped being advertised without a recorded sale, and Byrz has no reliable end date for those, so they are left out. Homes that take a long time to sell are the ones most likely to be pulled from the market, so the real wait in this suburb is probably a little longer than the figure shown.

These figures describe a suburb over the period shown, using listings Byrz has observed. They do not describe any particular home, they cannot tell you what any home will sell for, and they are not a valuation and Byrz does not give one.

What these percentages are out of

Byrz does not see every listing in Australia, so these figures describe the listings it did see in this suburb. Each one is a share of that group over a single period, never a count compared from one period to the next, because a change in how many listings Byrz sees would otherwise look like a change in the market.

Council

Please note that ABS approximated boundaries do not match official legal or administrative boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes.

Where these records come from

Byrz reads these from government flood studies, planning schemes, school catchment maps and public transport datasets, at the mapped coordinate for this home. Boundaries and datasets change, and a mapped risk describes the mapped area, not the state of any building on it. Before relying on one of these records, check it against the council's or the custodian's own tools for this address.

What is a planning overlay?

An overlay is an extra rule a council puts on an area of land, on top of the normal zoning. If a home sits inside one, it means the council looks at certain plans more closely, like building near a waterway or changing an older character home. An overlay does not stop you buying the home.

What is a school catchment?

A state school catchment is the area a school takes its enrolments from, so a home inside one is generally entitled to a place at that school. Catchments are redrawn from time to time and there are exceptions, so confirm with the school or the education department before relying on one. Non-government schools set their own enrolment rules, which is why only state catchments appear here.

What is a lot and plan number?

It is how the state land registry names the piece of land an address is recorded against, and it is what a title search, a council enquiry or a conveyancer will ask you for. It describes the land, not the building on it: every unit in a block shares one plan, and a single parcel can hold more than one home. Where a land size is shown beside it, Byrz measured that from the boundary the registry publishes, because no state publishes the area itself.

An estimate from photos

Might anything need fixing up?

Our software looked at this home's photos, one area at a time. It picked the area that looks like it would cost the most to fix up, and guessed a rough price range for that one area. It is a guess from pictures, not a quote and not an inspection, and it can be wrong. If it is wrong about your home, tell us and we will look at it.

One area, not the whole home

The area that looks like it would cost the most to fix up

at least $35,000

That range is for that one area on its own. It does not include any other area, and it is not what the whole home would cost.

The bottom of that range is ours, not the software's. Photos make a job look cheaper than it is, so we do not show a bathroom for less than $35,000, which is about what the trades charge for a small, basic one.

Based on 68 photos across 14 rooms, read on 28 August 2026.

Areas overview

Biggest looking jobs first, each price for that one area on its own. There is no total: what you spend depends on what you do.

Some of the lowest numbers below are ours, not the software's. Photos make a job look cheaper than it is, so we do not show a bathroom under $35,000.

How our software works this out

It reads the photos on the listing. It sorts them by area, then looks at things like benchtops, tiles, floors and paint. It compares what it sees with what that kind of work usually costs. It never visits the home, and it never sees anything the photos do not show.

Why we show one area and not the whole home

Adding every area together would give you a number that looks precise and is not. Most people do not redo everything at once, homes get fixed up in stages, and any area with no photo is invisible to us. So we show you the one area that stands out, and we leave the adding up to a real quote.

What could change this number

A lot. Photos can be years old, or taken right after a tidy up. What you choose matters more than what is there now: the same kitchen can cost $10,000 or $60,000 depending on what you put in it. Prices also differ between towns and cities. Treat this as a starting point for a conversation, not a budget.

This looks wrong: the renovation estimate

Byrz does not yet hold: a past sale price, rent figures for this area.
