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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $800,000 (1 Aug 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 1,008 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Clarence Town (last 5 years) with land size: median $373/m² of land (n=46). 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 $539/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.

Beautifully Renovated Home with Subdivision Approval

All the hard work has already been done in this beautifully renovated four-bedroom, one-bathroom brick home set on a generous 1005sqm block. Move in and enjoy, or take advantage of the Development Approval to subdivide the property into two lots of approx. 500sq each - a rare and exciting opportunity for investors, multi-generational families, or those simply looking for future growth. Build and sell, go halves with family, or keep the entire block for yourself - the options are endless.

The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, offering modern comfort and functional living. Inside, you'll find a spacious separate lounge and dining area, plus an additional activities room - ideal as a kids' playroom, second living area, or home office. The kitchen is a standout, featuring a breakfast bench, newly built walk-in pantry with a gorgeous barn door, dishwasher, 600mm gas cooktop, electric oven, and a contemporary finish.

The four bedrooms are generous in size, with two including built-in robes and ceiling fans. The main bathroom has been stylishly renovated with a shower, bath, and toilet, complemented by a separate powder room with a second toilet for added convenience. A renovated laundry with external access completes the functional layout. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted air-conditioning, ceiling fans & a cozy combustion wood fire for winter warmth.

Read the full description

Step from the dining room to the outside patio or concrete entertaining space, and a double brick garage equipped with power, concrete flooring, and air-conditioning - perfect as a workshop or storage space. The yard also includes a garden shed, fire pit, and fruit trees, adding character and practicality to the outdoor space.

The subdivision has approval for two lots (Lot 401 and Lot 402), each approximately 500sqm, with driveway access to Lot 401 off Russell Street and Lot 402 off Queen Street. Estimated rental return for the existing home is approximately $640 - $660 per week, and the potential to build and lease a second dwelling makes this a highly attractive investment.

Ideally located within walking distance to Clarence Town's shopping village, medical centre, local pub, bowling club, boat ramp, and community swimming pool, this property delivers the perfect combination of lifestyle and convenience. Enjoy the charm of a local village atmosphere while still being just 35 minutes from Maitland and Green Hills Shopping Centre, 25 minutes to Raymond Terrace, less than an hour to Newcastle, and approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to Sydney.

Whether you're a savvy investor, first-home buyer, or looking for a move-in ready home with future development potential, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
