Given the $1,280,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,280,000(Listing record · 15 June 2026)
  • CalculationLand 772 m² against a 168 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Cable Beach (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,143/m² of land (n=75). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 64% above the Cable Beach median recorded sale ($780,000, n=73, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Cable Beach's advertised median rent ($1,024/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.16% — 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.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

Capital growth

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 772 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 $1,024/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 4.2%. 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

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 772 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • 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.

The external cladding has been replaced with full wall insulation and internal walls resurfaced and painted, new bathrooms and many other impressive inclusions - This is essentially a new house on the original slab.

Read the full description

Despite the harsh climate in Broome, you will rarely find double glazing. This home features exclusively double-glazed windows and sliding doors - and you really can feel and hear the difference. This home is incredibly comfortable and whisper quiet. Fresh air silently filters through the home using the heat recovery home ventilation system, improving air quality without a change in room temperature.

The power saved by the high level of insulation is supplemented by the colossal 12kW of solar and 16kW of high spec battery storage…What electricity bill?

So energy-efficient is this home, you can award yourself the liberty of using the pool heater and cooler to ensure that your 11-metre pool remains at your perfect temperature year-round.

The calm environmental aspects of this lovely home are paired with aesthetics to match. A lovely muted neutral palette throughout is pleasing to the eye and welcomes you through the front door into the heart of the home, a vast open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, flowing seamlessly out to the large lined undercover alfresco overlooking the huge concrete pool. The outdoor kitchen connects friends and family heightening the outdoor entertaining experience.

Three tidy minor bedrooms are all meticulously renovated with new fans, split system air-conditioning and new window coverings. The master suite is blissfully comfortable allowing plenty of space for a quiet sitting area in addition to the beautiful ensuite and huge built-in robe. An external door allows access to the alfresco so you can take a quiet morning dip before the rest of the household is up and about. The main bathroom and separate water closet have been freshly renovated last month to complete the remastering this stunning family home.

The raised vegetable gardens contribute to sustainable living, which are on retic as with the rest of the landscaped gardens for the ultimate low-maintenance care allowing you more time for activities, be it sports in the park, beach sunsets, playing in the ocean or relaxing by the pool. This home combines all the best of coastal living and beyond.
