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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $920,000 (31 Aug 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 202 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Carrington (last 5 years) with land size: median $4,330/m² of land (n=66). 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 $733/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

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 Presence Real Estate

Classic character and modern style

This gorgeous home is a beautiful blend of divine heritage features and a sophisticated modern renovation. Two fabulous fireplaces, soaring ceilings and French doors are some of the examples of the classic beauty of the home, while a stunning contemporary kitchen brings this elegant property into the modern era.

A sultry renovation with dark timber floorboards, a statement barn door, custom cabinetry framing the heritage fireplace and a stylish bathroom and laundry, has given this grand home a modern facelift while retaining its charm. If it gets a little chilly, curl up on the couch in front of a crackling fire in the tiled Federation-era fireplace - the double brick of this solid home, built in 1889, will help retain the heat. The kitchen overlooks a delicious vege, herb and citrus garden, through an oversized picture window which brings the outside in and makes the most of Newcastle's stunning sunshine. The renovation of the kitchen, bathroom and laundry is sympathetic to the era of the home boasting subway tiles and period tapware, but modern black and timber-look cabinetry heralds the now. It will be hard to choose which bedroom to call the master – one boasts its own ensuite and front balcony, while a second opens onto an even larger balcony with cityscape views across the harbour.

Carrington is a vibrant suburb, just a few minutes from the city, but with a low-rise vibe and plenty of parks and playing fields. It is truly coming into its own, with funky cafes and eclectic retail starting to take hold. It also borders gentrifying Wickham and Tighes Hill and is a hop skip and a jump – or at least a quick bike ride - from the inner city retail and dining hubs of Honeysuckle and the Newcastle CBD itself.
