What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $615,000 (25 Mar 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 3,784 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Emerald Beach (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,496/m² of land (n=69). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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.

Capital growth

NSW

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.” 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 $779/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

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

    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?

    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

    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.

Listing material

Listed by First National Real Estate Coffs Coast

Sold by Jason Gray 0414 614 049

This cosy and very deceptive, renovated property, situated immediately off the Pacific Highway north of Coffs at Emerald Beach, certainly offers much more than meets the eye.

Positioned on a generous block just under an acre (3784m2), this is a fantastic opportunity for buyers across the board. For families who long for space for the kids and pets, for first home buyers who can't believe their luck with the house and size of block, for investors actively considering their options with the new bypass construction, for any buyers who seek space together with a convenient location and a tidy house that comes loaded with extras … this property will be very hard to pass by.

The features are many. To start with, the largely renovated cottage is single level, has three bedrooms, a smart new bathroom, a polished rustic timber floor, and a living room that features a slow combustion wood heater for those cooler evenings. Add to this the modern kitchen with stand-out dual fuel stove, reverse cycle aircon, ceiling fans in all rooms, a great entertaining deck, and the house itself ticks a lot of boxes.

Read the full description

But, wait, there's more! There's a Scandinavian-style cabin with a private spa bath … plus … a separate new outdoor swim spa at the rear of the property … plus 2 tool and garden sheds plus … single lock-up garage that provides overhang over for extra vehicles … plus … two netted garden closures to keep the green thumbs in the family happy. This property is certainly deceptive! Additionally, high colorbond fencing and security cameras provide reassurance and protection for the property, and 4kw solar looks after the hot water.

Unlimited pumping rights to neighbouring Smiths Lake are a bonus, and the property is looked after by tank water and a septic sewer system.

In summary, properties like this on a huge flat block with extremely convenient access to everything on either side, and north & south, of the highway (beaches, schools, shopping centres), come up very rarely. Families and first home buyers won't believe their luck, and investors will get excited with the anticipated interest from prospective tenants.
