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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,025,000 (15 Aug 2023).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 645 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Swansea (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,746/m² of land (n=128). 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 $602/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.

Pearler Location, You can even see The Channel from Your gorgeous North East facing front deck, Renovated Inside & Out, You’ll Want to Call Home

Well she certainly didn't look like this, when this lovely family bought her, she had an ugly old roof, ugly old kitchen, ugly old bathroom and floors and paintwork that no one would choose.

Out the back was nothing like it looks now.

A truck load of love, labour and money have been sunk into the property, inside and outside to change it up from being the old girl “ugly duckling” just house that she was.

Read the full description

She's transformed into a beautiful swan and become a genuine “home sweet home”, property this family have loved living in and entertaining from!

Outside the old wire fence has disappeared and the entire roof has been replaced.

A new deck welcomes you inside and is the perfect place to read the paper and enjoy your morning coffee in winter, complete with a lovely blue water outlook over the green soccer park to The Channel.

The perfect spot to enjoy a beer on a hot summer afternoon, you can't beat the sea breezes that blow in off the ocean and cool things down.

Step inside and appreciate big living, without the scary lemon walls and multi coloured scary patterned carpet long gone!

Appreciate rarely needed, new split system air conditioning, that takes the edge on the rare occasion there's no sun winter sun or cool summer breeze.

Spacious living flows through to an oversized kitchen that's been replaced with quality timber and black granite cabinetry, exactly like a kitchen we had in a home we sold some years back for &1,800,000 that would be worth over $3,000,000 now, so you're in good company ;).

From the kitchen step out into light and airy second living that connects beautifully to gorgeous outdoor back deck living.

The laundry works like an extension of the kitchen, with a butler's pantry like feel.

A genuine powder room off the second living provides a handy second toilet inside, perfect for when you're entertaining guests inside or deck side, coming in handy when you're out enjoying the back yard or fiddling on cars on the big drive thru carport.

The deck is an absolute delight and it flows out to a feature podium style, second big covered deck, perfect for Christmas lunch and Sunday BBQs, I'd eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner here overlooking the backyard paradise.

Lovers of birds, these owners have a wildlife sanctuary size aviary, that you can walk around and admire and listen to birds that don't just look pretty but sound pretty too!

There's a sweet shade tree and enough lawn for puppies and kids, that won't take you hours to mow, complete with some banana trees and great sheds for your tools.

Back inside discover an upgraded bathroom, with no bath to clean, right by the master suite, complete with big built in robes and the second bedroom.

Great for guests, access the back bedroom off the rear living or open up the second and third bedroom for grandkids and young kids or his and her offices if you work from home!

Love the oversized auto access massive garaging, with 1 carport leading to another drive thru oversized carport to the backyard.

If you love to fiddle you'll love the sheds and garaging, if you don't and you want a straight forward back lawn, then just sell off the sheds and aviary.

No matter what, you can't deny the work that's been done here, the home has been transformed and majorly overhauled over the years, so that there's nothing left to do but move in and enjoy, unless you want to add a few of your own personal touches and put your own stamp on her!

With beautiful beaches only minutes away, you can ride and walk to Blacky's on the flat when you feel like a bit of exercise as well as a swim, or slip down to Coonie for a Sandy bottom swim closer to home.

Paradise found, it's affordable and wouldn't be available if these owners weren't moving to be closer to family and friends in Queensland.
