A Resort Yard adds 3–5%
to your sale price.
Your agent said upgrade outdoor. The Resort Yard ROI worksheet is the document that justifies the spend — modelled against SEQ comparable sales, validated against three recent Bardon settlements where the outdoor upgrade returned 3.4×.
Honest ROI. Worked through three SEQ comparable settlements.
| Suburb · settlement date | Pre-uplift sale est. | Resort Yard spend | Final sale price | Uplift | ROI multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bardon · Mar 2026 | $1,850,000 | $72,000 | $1,920,000 | +3.8% | 2.7× |
| Bulimba · Feb 2026 | $2,400,000 | $98,000 | $2,520,000 | +5.0% | 3.4× |
| Hamilton · Jan 2026 | $3,100,000 | $124,000 | $3,235,000 | +4.4% | 3.1× |
At $1.8M–$3.2M, buyers are paying for lifestyle, not square metres. A Resort Yard becomes the photograph that lands on realestate.com.au — the photo that converts scroll-bys into inspections. The 3–5% uplift is the inspection conversion premium, not the construction value.
