No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWPlanning 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $596/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by Sawtell Real Estate CoPositioned on a generous 809m2 block and walking distance to Sawtell Village and Beach, this original 1970's weatherboard home presents a wonderful renovation opportunity for those wanting to retain the character of a classic coastal home yet add a new and modern finish.
While the home is ready for a fresh breath of life, it offers a very versatile floorplan and great potential for internal changes to create a more modern open plan layout. Boasting the original wallpaper and finishes, it's a true step back in time, yet resting beneath that retro carpet you will find beautiful hardwood timber floorboards, hidden from a time when carpet was all the rage.
All three bedrooms are large, and all have built in wardrobes, serviced by the main bathroom with a shower/bathtub, toilet and vanity. The laundry lies at the rear of the home, with a second shower and toilet for convenience.
There has been an extension at some point in time at the rear of the home to add a secondary living space which also allows access to the outdoor covered patio.
The block itself is fantastic, offering a flat usable space with plenty of room to plant out your dream garden, add additional shedding or a large inground pool. The sheer size could also accommodate a large granny flat (STCA) for income or to host visiting friends and family.
Featuring plenty of potential for updates and a terrific rear yard space, this property is perfect for families wanting a large block for the kids to enjoy, though would suit downsizers wanting convenient walking access into First Avenue, without sacrificing space to breathe.
Note: The size of the block may allow potential for subdivision down the centre of the block to form two separate Torrens blocks or a duplex scenario, Subject to Council Approval. This would require removal/demolition of the existing home.
Key features:
- The roof and guttering have all been replaced after the 2021 hail event, which allows you begin internal changes immediately with peace of mind.
- Spacious rear yard with plenty of space a for a pool, granny flat, etc.
- Block receives Northern Sun throughout the entire day.
- Rear lane access to yard, with room on the southern side for vehicle access to yard.
