Given the $749,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $749,000(Listing record · 1 July 2026)
  • CalculationLand 506 m² against a 87 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationAsk is 6% below the Torquay median recorded sale ($799,500, n=72, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Torquay's advertised median rent ($526/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.65% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

QLD

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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $526/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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 3.7%. 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. 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.

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

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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

    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.

BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS, BETTER THAN YOU EXPECTED, AND 500M TO THE BEACH

Welcome to 33 Bideford Street, Torquay, a beautifully renovated coastal cottage that proves the best homes do not always shout from the street. Sometimes they quietly sit in one of Hervey Bay's most loved beachside pockets, just waiting for someone to step inside and say, "Oh wow, this is much bigger than I thought."

Behind the charming cottage facade is a home full of surprises. Fresh, stylish and move-in ready, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been thoughtfully renovated to deliver comfort, flexibility and that easy coastal lifestyle buyers are hunting for. The modern kitchen is a true standout, complete with quality Miele appliances and an integrated fridge/freezer, while the light-filled interiors feel calm, polished and ready for everyday living.

The master suite feels private and practical, with an ensuite and large walk-in robe, while the versatile auxiliary room offers options galore. Home office, guest room, second living space, kids' zone, creative studio and more, it is the kind of space people love because it adapts as life changes. The extra-large laundry is another clever bonus, with genuine scope to serve as a teenage retreat, hobby room, or overflow guest area.

Then there is the deck. The beautiful wraparound entertaining deck is where this home really leans into its coastal soul.

SUBURB HIGHLIGHTS

Torquay is one of Hervey Bay's most desirable lifestyle suburbs, loved for its relaxed coastal feel, walkable beachside position and easy access to cafes, restaurants, schools, parks, the Esplanade and everyday essentials. It offers that rare blend buyers are always chasing, close enough to everything, but still calm enough to feel like home.

The suburb continues to be tightly held because it suits so many different buyer groups. Downsizers love the flat coastal lifestyle. Families love the convenience to schools and services. Investors love the strong rental appeal. Holiday buyers love the walk-to-beach location. In short, Torquay has the kind of broad buyer demand that keeps pressure under good property.

Torquay's market has performed strongly, with Realestate.com.au showing median house prices around $755,000 over the last year and an annual compound growth rate of 12.5% for houses, which reflects significant uplift over a five-year period when compounded.

Future confidence in the area is also supported by major Fraser Coast investment, including the Hervey Bay Esplanade Masterplan, which includes upgrades across areas such as Torquay, Scarness, Pialba, Point Vernon and Urangan, with a focus on better active transport links, improved parkland, alfresco areas, coastal resilience and safer pedestrian movement. Council also lists major regional projects including the Hervey Bay Community Hub, new Fraser Coast library, Beachfront Caravan Parks Redevelopment and the Hervey Bay Airport Terminal Upgrade, all helping support lifestyle, tourism and long-term regional confidence.
