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.

Capital growth

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 546 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $602/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.

Detail

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 546 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.

Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.

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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 546 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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?

    Knownmedium

    No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Two Years Young & Single Level, Just 1 Home off The Channel, North East Facing Backyard, Rear Lane Double Garage & Dual Gate Yard Access for Your Van!

Considering we sold next door for $2,200,000, which offered pretty much the exact same size land, and a very similar block configuration, this looks and feels brand new home is an absolutely brilliant buy!

Being offered at a price you can afford today, with unlimited potential to explore down the track, add a second storey to capture Channel views, if and when you need more space, and your budget allows.

Unlike frontline to The Channel properties, there's stacks more privacy, and a real sense of security too, with none of the pedestrian or vehicle traffic passing by, or people virtually on your door step staring back at you.

Read the full description

Instead of renovating an old house on a smaller block, and the endless headache of ongoing old house maintenance, the only thing you will need to do here is unpack and add your own personal touches, kicking back for at least a decade before you need to do a thing!

Beautifully flat, established lawns and gardens are super easy care, and very low maintenance.

So instead of hard work, blood sweat and tears, you can enjoy time out on the water.

There's still plenty of room for puppies and grandkids, a plunge or lap pool, and veggie gardens, with extra room left over for your boat and caravan to be kept off street too!

Enjoy 2 street access, with rear lane vehicle access to a generous internally accessed, auto door, double garage, with double gate backyard access for your toys, plus another securely fenced area, with no need to mow artificial grass perfect for any extra toys you might want to keep off street.

Your visitors and guests can park on Galgabba Street and stroll down your private walk way, to your outdoor living area, or come off the rear lane to your official front door, either way is flat and easy, wheel chair and pram friendly.

A covered alfresco area off the open plan living is a great spot to enjoy some shade and cool North Easterly breezes. Beautifully private, enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner outdoors, or a quiet cuppa and a good book.

Drenched in winter sun, you can get your daily fix of vitamin d anywhere out in the lovely backyard.

Inside the kitchen boasts a classic white colour palette, big island bench, stone tops and a very unexpected, brilliant and wide, hidden walk in pantry.

With an outlook to the living indoors and out, the cook never misses out on the conversation or whats happening on the TV.

A separate media room lets parents or kids slip away to watch their own shows, also making a great 4th bedroom option if required, with its down the hallway, beside the master suite location.

The master bedroom is set away, with its own ensuite, walk in robe and lovely east facing outlook to a private rear laneway courtyard.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 along with the main bathroom are contained in a separate wing at the other end of the home, way from the main.

Being so new, and being brick, you won't be forever painting and patching, instead you can head off travelling, or be out on the water fishing, or at one of any number of sandy swimming spots and great surfing beaches, minutes from home.

Literally an hour North of Hornsby or 35 minutes to Newcastle, you never miss out on family or friends, or shows or restaurants, with our very own ever cafe and restaurant culture brewing locally too ....

This is a great place to retire, or the perfect spot to weekend, delivering an easy Air BNB mini or major income.

Easily converted to 4 bedrooms, maybe this is the way you can help your kids or grandkids get in to the market, without actually living with them, in the same space!

Buy now and rent it out or weekend here, with a view to retiring here down the track, when you can go up, add a lift, and enjoy the dream home in the dream location!

On the flat and surrounded by wonderful water ways, you're just 1 house off The Channel's magnificent foreshore walk and cycle way that connects to the fabulous new board walk access to stunning sandy swimming at beautiful Coon Island.

Great everyday shopping and services options with Woolworths, doctors, dentists etc all just strolling distance from home.

Fabulous boat ramps on Channel Street and The Esplanade, let you be on the Lake and Channel within seconds of home.

Promising wonderful garaging and off street parking, there's room for your cars, boat, trailer, jet-ski and van, making this truly the lifestyle home you've been looking for!
