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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,530,000 (3 Feb 2022).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 862 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Cumbalum (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,564/m² of land (n=33). 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 $1,107/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.

LUXURY FIVE BEDDER WITH POOL AND VIEWS

Large, modern, five bedroom homes on one single level with a study, plus a resort style swimming pool along with a huge outdoor pizza oven and covered alfresco dining area are not that common and tend to get a lot of interest from buyers when offered for sale. This beautiful family home has been meticulously renovated and looked after and will appeal to the fussiest of buyers.

Set on a large flat 862m2 block of land facing Nth East the property gets views to the coast plus a rear vista to the countryside. The home is very well air conditioned when needed but does enjoy a lovely breeze from the front to the back.

Located high on The Ridgeway it is in a very central sunny location in Cumbalum and is surrounded by other high quality homes and neighbours. The local kids all get on and play outside while mum and dad enjoy the regular happy hour after work or on the weekend. The current owners have been there since 2011 and are looking to downsize for the future.

This home has an amazing open plan design by Perry Homes with many upgrades included. Lots of room for the family to spread out with two big separate living areas plus a huge gourmet kitchen and dining area with a cathedral ceiling. Walk outside the dining room to the covered alfresco area and BBQ or cook your favourite pizza before jumping into the pool.

The master bedroom and ensuite are next level size and quality and look out onto the inground saltwater pool. All the other four bedrooms are good size with built in wardrobes, high quality wool carpet and a modern shared bathroom.

1min to the Freeway, 5 min to the airport, 10min to Ballina, 15min to the beach, 20min to Lennox Head, 30min to Byron Bay. The school bus pretty much stops out the front and many kids catch it to Xavier College in Skennar's Head. This is the best value for money in the the Northern Rivers.
