Given the $890,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $890,000(Listing record · 14 Aug 2026)
  • FactLand 405 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Emu Park (last 5 years) with land size: median $872/m² of land (n=89). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 25% above the Emu Park median recorded sale ($710,000, n=23, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Emu Park's advertised median rent ($573/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.35% — 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.

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 $573/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 3.3%. 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.

The View Changes Everything – Elevated Coastal Living in the Heart of Emu Park

There are homes near the ocean. Then there are homes where the ocean becomes part of everyday life. Perched high above Emu Park, with the turquoise waters and islands of Keppel Bay stretching across the horizon, 4 Bright Street captures the kind of coastal outlook people move here hoping to find. And the best part?

The view isn't reserved for one room. It follows you through the home. Stand at the kitchen bench and look out across the water. Relax in the living room with the islands on the horizon. Open the doors to the deck and let the coastal breeze roll through. Wake in the morning to blue water beyond the windows, or simply sit quietly and watch the colours of the bay change throughout the day.

Yet for all that elevation and outlook, you remain wonderfully connected to Emu Park, close enough to walk down to the beach, shops, cafés and village centre.

Read the full description

UPSTAIRS

- The upper level is where this home's coastal personality really comes alive.

- Polished timber floors bring warmth to the generous open-plan living and dining areas, while banks of glass draw your eyes immediately towards the ocean.

- The kitchen has been cleverly positioned to make the view part of everyday life, complete with electric cooking, dishwasher, drawers, generous bench space and an outlook that might make doing the dishes considerably more enjoyable.

- Step outside onto the broad front deck and suddenly you'll understand what makes this position special. Morning coffee. Long lunches with friends. An afternoon drink in the sea breeze.

- Or simply doing absolutely nothing while looking across Keppel Bay.

- Two bedrooms, the main bathroom and an additional sitting room/home office complete the upper level, providing comfortable everyday living surrounded by natural light and coastal views.

DOWNSTAIRS

- The lower level gives this property something many coastal homes don't have — genuine flexibility.

- With its own bedroom, bathroom, living area, kitchenette, laundry facilities and outdoor deck with amazing seaviews too, this space works beautifully for extended family, adult children, teenagers, visiting friends or guests.

- It could equally provide a private retreat, work-from-home area or simply additional living space when the family comes to stay.

- This isn't simply extra accommodation tucked underneath the house — it is another usable part of the home that benefits from the elevated position.

A LOCATION MADE FOR A SEA CHANGE

One of the great attractions of 4 Bright Street is that you don't have to choose between views and convenience.

- Leave the car at home.

- Walk down for a swim.

- Grab a coffee.

- Head into town.

- Take a stroll along the beaches.

Then make your way home, open the doors and come back to that extraordinary stretch of blue.

For permanent residents, sea-changers, downsizers, families looking for flexible accommodation or buyers searching for their own coastal escape, this is a property that offers far more than its bedroom count suggests.

Property highlights

- 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1-car accommodation

- Elevated ocean and island views across Keppel Bay

- Views enjoyed from numerous rooms across both levels

- Beautiful polished timber floors upstairs

- Light-filled open-plan living and dining

- Spacious kitchen positioned to capture the ocean outlook

- Electric cooking and dishwasher drawers

- Additional sitting room or home office

- Flexible lower-level living with bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette

- Air conditioning and ceiling fans

- Generous outdoor decks across both levels

- Approximately 405m² allotment

- Close to Emu Park's beaches, shops, cafés and village centre

If your next move is supposed to feel like a sea change, don't settle for simply being near the ocean.

Live with it.
