Given the $597,000–$653,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $597,000–$653,000(Listing record · 24 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationAsk is 11% above the Port Lincoln median recorded sale ($536,000, n=99, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Port Lincoln's advertised median rent ($450/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.92% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $450/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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 3.9%. 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

Character, Income & Commercial Flexibility in a Prime CBD Location

Positioned prominently on Boston Street and just moments from the heart of the Port Lincoln CBD, this substantial character property presents a rare combination of residential accommodation, immediate rental income and flexible Employment zoning.

Currently leased to an NDIS care provider at $580 per week, the property provides an established income stream while offering significantly more versatility than a conventional residential holding.

Zoned Employment (Commercial) with the current land use recorded as "House With Manufacturing & Service Industry", the property may appeal to investors, business owners and purchasers looking for a property capable of adapting to changing needs.

Read the full description

Subject to the relevant consents and approvals, there is potential to utilise or adapt the property for office, consulting, professional services or other compatible commercial purposes, while its existing residential use provides the opportunity for the property to continue functioning as a dwelling alongside suitable light manufacturing or service-industry uses.

Behind its attractive character façade is an impressively spacious floorplan offering five bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes, providing plenty of accommodation for larger households, supported-care use or those requiring additional consulting, treatment or office spaces.

The generous family room is filled with natural light and features beautiful flooring, flowing through to a sunroom overlooking the established front garden. A separate dining area adjoins the well-equipped kitchen, which offers ample cabinetry, bench space and a range of appliances.

The main bathroom is immaculately tiled and features both a glass-enclosed shower and corner bath, while a separate double vanity adds further practicality. A well-equipped laundry provides additional cabinetry, linen storage and excellent functionality for a busy household or commercial operation.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a spacious undercover entertaining area, established garden beds and a full-length pergola along the side of the home.

Whether retained as an income-producing investment, continued in its existing use or explored for future commercial or professional purposes, this is a property that offers income today and flexibility for tomorrow.

For further information or to arrange an inspection, contact James Stacy.

All proposed changes of use, development, division or commercial activities remain subject to the relevant planning, statutory consents and approvals.

Purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the current condition, presentation, dimensions, features and suitability of the property through their own enquiries and inspection. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Vendor nor the Agent accepts responsibility for any purchaser relying solely upon the 2022 photographs or other marketing imagery as a representation of the property's current condition or presentation.
