Given the $995,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $995,000(Listing record · 7 July 2026)
  • CalculationLand 733 m² against a 129 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationAsk is 21% above the Howrah median recorded sale ($825,000, n=37, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Howrah's advertised median rent ($584/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.05% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Tasmania schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Capital growth

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $584/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.1%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Virtual Waterfront Opportunity to Renovate or Reimagine

Occupying a virtual waterfront position in a sought-after Eastern Shore enclave, 109 Tranmere Road is one of those homes that captures your imagination the moment you arrive. Rich in original 1950s character and boasting breathtaking views across the River Derwent, the outlook is unforgettable, and the potential is undeniable.

Making your way up the front steps, you are welcomed into the dining and kitchen area. From here, a striking sandstone feature wall separates this space from the living room, adding warmth and a touch of mid-century charm.

The home offers three bedrooms, two complete with built-in robes, alongside a family bathroom. High ceilings throughout create a wonderful sense of space, while many of the original details remain in place, including vintage wallpaper and classic light fittings that pay homage to the home's era.

Read the full description

At the rear of the home, the spacious sunroom provides a second living area bathed in natural light and showcases what is undoubtedly this property's greatest asset - the view. Framed by expansive windows, you'll enjoy panoramic vistas stretching across towards Blackmans Bay and Taroona, taking in kunanyi / Mount Wellington, and sweeping around to Ninja Stadium. Step out onto the adjoining balcony and you'll feel as though you could almost reach out and touch the water below.

Outside, the magic continues. With only the foreshore walking track separating the property from the River Derwent, the backyard enjoys an extraordinary waterfront connection. A gate at the rear boundary provides direct access towards the water's edge, creating an enviable lifestyle where morning walks, kayaking, fishing or simply soaking in the ever-changing outlook become part of everyday life.

Completing the property is a carport along with generous under-house storage, providing practical space alongside the home's exciting future possibilities.

While liveable as it stands, there's no escaping the incredible opportunity on offer. Whether you're dreaming of a sympathetic renovation, a modern transformation, or simply restoring this much-loved home to its former glory, you can't help but see and feel the potential. This is a true renovator's unpolished gem, set in one of Howrah's most tightly held and spectacular waterfront positions.

Opportunities like 109 Tranmere Road are incredibly rare. A location that can never be replicated, views that will never tire, and a home ready for its next exciting chapter.

The information contained herein has been supplied to us and we have no reason to doubt its accuracy, however, we cannot guarantee it. Accordingly, all interested parties should make their own enquiries to verify this information. All timeframes and dimensions are approximates only.
