No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWPlanning 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $596/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by The EdgePositioned in one of Sawtell's most desirable locations, this recently renovated home is sure to provide a lifestyle of convenience. Set on a low-maintenance 531sqm lot, the property is just 500m from the sand and surf at Sawtell Beach and the morning coffee ritual is a short 400m stroll to the cafés of Sawtell's First Avenue.
Beautifully renovated and extended in 2020, the home has been treated to a gentle infusion of modern and functional design while retaining the authentic 'feel' of the original Sawtell Cottage. The thoughtful floorplan has been architecturally designed to capture the best of the northerly aspect: an abundance of glass windows and doors allow natural light to infiltrate the interior, while also providing cross-flow ventilation in the warmer months.
The living areas are positioned in the front of the house, where stunning hardwood floorboards tell a tale of yesteryear. There is a separate formal lounge with slow-combustion fireplace, while the family room provides a 2nd living space for the family to spread out.
The new extension features a beautiful polished concrete flooring throughout, and the designer kitchen was spared no expense: engineered stone benchtops and splashback, induction cooktop and a walk-in pantry are just a few of the high-end upgrades used throughout, while an abundance of soft-close drawers will ensure that the benchtop stays clutter-free.
Sliding doors provide access to the covered alfresco which takes full advantage of its northern orientation, creating the perfect space for long lunches overlooking the rear yard. The yard is a good size too with space for a pool if that is your wish.
The master suite is positioned at the rear of the home and is absolutely huge! Large windows allow a peaceful view over the rear yard, and bespoke drapery complete the look. The ensuite bathroom features a stunning Italian terrazzo tiling and frameless walk-in shower.
With a 'guest room' at the front of the house, the remaining 2 'kids' bedrooms are set in their own wing of the home that is complete with the main bathroom. All bedrooms feature ceiling fans and built-in wardrobes, with stunning hardwood flooring.
This truly is a gorgeous home with a flawless standard of finish. Situated on the desirable Eighth Avenue, it is a short 500m walk to the beach and a level 400m stroll to the cafes, bistros and boutiques of Sawtell's First Avenue.
Going to auction on 4th December unless sold prior, you don't want to miss out on viewing this one.
