Given the $680,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $680,000(Listing record · 18 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 686 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Armidale's advertised median rent ($463/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.54% — 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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

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 $463/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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.5%. 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. 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 HH Real Estate

A HOME LIKE NO OTHER

Some homes are designed to impress, while others are designed to be lived in. 214 Markham Street manages to do both. This remarkable architect-designed family home is an individual expression of thoughtful design, natural materials and connection to its surroundings. Designed by renowned Armidale architect Tony Deakin as his own family home, it remains a much-loved family residence today, offering a rare opportunity to own a home that is quite unlike anything else in Armidale.

Distinctively octagonal in design, the home is arranged around a dramatic central core and circular staircase, creating a wonderful sense of movement and connection between the living spaces. Blue brick and slate flooring feature throughout, complemented by timber, glass and an abundance of natural light. From the moment you enter, it is clear that this is a home where every element has been carefully considered.

The heart of the home is the generous open-plan family and dining area, centred around a striking skylight that draws natural light into the interior. The timber kitchen is beautifully appointed with a gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher and walk-in pantry, with fitted storage extending into the adjoining family room. Sliding doors provide easy access to the verandah, creating a seamless connection between the home and gardens.

For more formal entertaining, the entrance leads naturally into the dining area, while the spacious living room provides a completely different atmosphere, with an open fireplace and full-width glass stacker doors opening onto a screened verandah. It is a wonderful space for entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying the garden throughout the seasons.

The three bedrooms are individually positioned around the home and all include built-in storage. The main bedroom is particularly appealing, with its own ensuite, walk-in robe and direct access to a private courtyard — a quiet and secluded retreat.

The thoughtful design continues with a main bathroom featuring a shower over the bathtub, a separate toilet with hand basin and a laundry incorporating an additional shower. Fitted bookshelves are found throughout the home, adding character while providing practical storage, and a reverse-cycle air conditioning unit provides year-round comfort.

Above the main living level, the distinctive circular staircase leads to a small private office — an inspired use of the home's central architectural design and an ideal space for working from home, reading or simply escaping with a little peace and quiet.

Outside, the established cottage-style gardens are every bit as individual as the home itself. Mature plantings surround the property, creating privacy and a beautiful sense of seclusion, while the various verandahs and courtyard provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy the garden from different aspects. A double open garage and additional garden sheds provide practical storage, with a water tank adding further functionality.

Positioned in sought-after South Armidale, the property is conveniently located close to schools, the local corner store and bus services, while still offering the feeling of a private garden sanctuary.

214 Markham Street is not simply a house; it is a piece of residential architecture designed around the way a family lives. Original, warm and unmistakably individual, it is a home that rewards exploration and reveals something new around every corner.

If you have been searching for a home with architectural distinction, genuine character and a story of its own, we invite you to inspect 214 Markham Street.
