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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,259,000 (27 Sept 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 809 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Sawtell (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,694/m² of land (n=67). 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 $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.

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.

The Perfect Sawtell Village Renovator!

Positioned 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.

Read the full description

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.

- Beautiful hardwood timber floorboards under the existing floor coverings.

- Multiple bathrooms and multiple internal living zones.

Council Rates: $4,839 per annum

Land Size: 809.4m2, zoned R2
