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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $510,000 (22 May 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 1,150 m² against a 100 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Dodges Ferry (last 5 years) with land size: median $769/m² of land (n=97). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned Low Density Residential (124.10) under the Sorell Local Provisions Schedule.(theLIST · 31 Aug 2026)

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. 1No 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

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Low Density Residential · 124.10 (Sorell Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 1,196 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. 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. 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 $502/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

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. 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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low Density Residential · 124.10 (Sorell Local Provisions Schedule). Official parcel area about 1,196 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 1,196 m² — land size can look like optionality. 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

    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.

Exciting seachange opportunity

Dodges Ferry is a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful beachside lifestyle within easy reach of the city, and this modest two-bedroom home presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers interested in a cosy weekender, a rewarding renovation project, or a plot with development potential.

Situated in a wonderful locale, the house itself has solid foundations but would benefit from some dedicated work to modernise the facilities and introduce some stylish updates.

The spacious and light-filled living room is complemented by a basic yet functional kitchen and room for dining, and the whole space is warmed by a wood fire.

Read the full description

Both bedrooms are a good size, the master with generous built-in storage. The tiled bathroom includes a shower, bath, and vanity; there is a separate toilet, a laundry, and a storage area accessed from outside.

A standout feature is the detached rumpus, which creates the option to fully utilise the dwelling's floorplan. With some modifications, it could be transformed into additional accommodation for family members or guests, or a versatile space tailored to your needs.

The sunny yard has been set up for entertaining and fun family time, with a built-in BBQ area and outdoor spa (which will stay with the property), open space for kids and pets to play, or for avid gardeners to start a thriving veggie patch.

At 1150sqm, the level block is an ideal size for future development (STCA), but for now there is plenty of off-street parking (room to store a boat or caravan), as well as a large workshop.

Renowned for its relaxed coastal living, the area offers boating, fishing, swimming and surfing in close proximity, and the local beach is just 300m from home. This enviable location doesn't sacrifice convenience, and the town's services - including Hill St Grocer, health care, a primary school, childcare, parks, and more - are within walking distance, the rural hub of Sorell is 10 minutes' drive away, and central Hobart is an easy 30-minute commute.

Whether you're pursuing a weekend retreat or a lifestyle property with long-term potential, this delightful seaside home is sure to appeal. Call Warwick today to arrange a viewing time and discover all the possibilities for yourself!
