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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $850,000 (13 Dec 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 487 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Swansea (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,745/m² of land (n=128). 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 $602/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. 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 SOLD Real Estate

On the Caves Beach side of town, super low maintenance, a flat stroll across the road to kayak on The Bay & easy walk to cafes, shops & restaurants!

We challenge you to find better value on this side of the roundabout.

If you're after a Caves Beach or Swansea Heads address, but your budget just doesn't let you go there, this fabulously low maintenance home is like a breath of fresh air!

You'll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of living space that's on offer too.

Read the full description

Spacious light filled, easy and breezy, open plan living flows from front to back.

The generous lounge room features easy-care, hard flooring and a great open connection to relaxed dining off the open style white kitchen.

With bonus secondary living at the back of the home, flowing off the kitchen and connecting to an open office or formal dining.

Under the main roof, you'll appreciate a dedicated bedrooms and bathroom wing, with a generous master suite, and spacious main bathroom, with a toilet that's separate from the bathroom.

Head outside and discover a makeshift studio off the garage, perfect for that older kid who either won't leave home, or keeps coming back home, as they can come and go without disturbing the rest of the household.

They've even got a bathroom they can access from outside, so they really can be almost completely independent.

The studio also makes a great work from home office or kids playroom for wet and rainy days when they can't get outside to play.

For time-poor owners or tenants, there's very little lawn to mow, but there's still room for kids and puppies to play outdoors, and for adults to relax and kickback outside.

Best of all you're right next door to a house block size grassy reserve, so the kids or grandkids have somewhere to play and kick a footy around, but you don't have to worry about mowing it and the place looking untidy when you're busy with work and life.

Set up with plenty of off street parking and garaging, there's stacks of solar panels to keep costs down.

Literally just a flat stroll across the road to The Bay, you can be in your kayak and on the water within seconds.

An easy flat walk to Swansea's cafes and shopping strip, you can head to the hotel or RSL for lunch or dinner and an ale or two, leaving the car at home.

Kids or grandkids also enjoy a flat walk or ride to pre, primary and high schools at Caves Beach.

With a 27m wide frontage and potential two street access, there's duplex potential subject to council approval too.

Dual split system air conditioned open living front & back

Open kitchen with dishwasher, skylight & connection to living

Open office or extra living/dining between the living & bedrooms

Dedicated bedrooms & bathroom wing with 2 door built in linen

Big master suite with built in robes & fan, nearby the generous bathroom

Bathroom boasts a skylight & a bath that's separate from the shower

A totally separate toilet features off the laundry

Bedrooms 2 & 3 are close to the master suite & big main bathroom

Ceiling fans, built in robes & split system air feature throughout

Covered in solar you can leave everything running & enjoy cheaper bills

North facing, expect great winter sun & cool summer breezes

Boasting a makeshift studio/4th bedroom, home office or playroom

A second externally accessed bathroom is great the studio & yard

Lots of off street parking & garaging for people to go have lots of toys & cars

Fantastic location, stroll across the road to The Bay to kayak & fish

Easy flat stroll to town & all that Swansea has to offer, cafes, shops, the lot

Easy stroll or ride to local pre, primary & high schools at Caves Beach

Comfortable walk or ride to the Caves Hotel & village cafe strip

Walk to everything or take the bus when you feel like leaving the car at home

Perfect whether you're starting out, slowing down, investing or weekending

Most properties in this price range are knockdowns & not minutes to great beaches & seconds to The Bay

With a home off the back street, Braemar Road, reverently selling for $1.75M, you're certainly amongst good company and you surely can't help but see great value here …
