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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 575 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Blacksmiths (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,123/m² of land (n=41). 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 $711/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.

LESS THAN 500 METRES AND YOU ARE SURFING

This is the first time this home has been offered for sale - this lucky purchaser will only be the second owner of this home in 63 years! Now, if that doesn't tell you something about the quality of the home and the sensational location, we'll go into some more detail for you!

This Blacksmiths is home to a 9 miles stretch of white sand and pristine surf with just over 500 homes. This is Coastal living at its finest! The whole suburb is almost dead flat with a public primary school in the heart of the suburb, a very well equipped shopping village at the edge of the suburb and it is fringed by pristine surf to the east and the azure waters of Swansea Channel to the south. It's an unpretentious, friendly suburb where in the summer they have night markets and food stalls on the beach near the surf club and gather to have a chat together. Now THAT is a beachside lifestyle!

The gorgeous cottage style home is spacious inside, much bigger than it may look! Flooded with natural light from the oversized windows and filled with the faint scent of the salty ocean breeze from the surf just 500m away, the toughest part of the day will be leaving home to go to work! It was built by a very well respected local Master Builder and is in near original condition. Back in the day they really thought things through, the windows are just right for cross-breezes, there's a very practical wet-bar just outside the kitchen, there's three good size bedrooms - all with built ins - the main could be considered oversized. ... just little touches that really make this a home!

Read the full description

The bathroom has been modernised with a shower, toilet and vanity and keen cooks will be impressed by the size of the very serviceable kitchen and meals area - with a little bit of effort, this area could be turned into an amazing kitchen! There is a separate laundry which leads to the rear covered porch and second toilet ... just a quick look at the floor plan will show you where you could put a rear deck and maybe a pool - or a Granny flat, subject to council approval.

With a 15.24 metre frontage and total area of 575 square metres there is ample room for the kids to play.

At the end of the street there's a walkway through the coastal shrubs to the white sandy beach. It's almost like the beach is there for the private use of the Blacksmiths locals! It's never crowded and there's a patrolled section at the southern end. The local Primary School is just 170 metres from your door so the kids can walk to and from school.

The Surf Club is a leisurely walk where you can enjoy a swim between the flags and an evening drink by the bar of a Saturday or Sunday.

The Channel and Boat Ramps and Grannys Pool are all easily accessible from this home as are the convenience of Blacksmiths Shops, which include a Home Hardware, a mechanic, a post office, a huge chemist, doctor's surgery, baker, hairdresser ... and about 150m from the shops there's a great local pub! You'll never need to leave!.
