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

Why this property?

  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Hobart (last 5 years) with land size: median $4,930/m² of land (n=17). 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

TAS

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $568/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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. 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 for this property.

  • 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.

Listing material

Listed by Ray White Hobart

Victorian elegance in a landmark location

Built in 1840, this distinguished property offers a rare opportunity to secure a landmark of Hobart's early Victorian architecture, positioned in a central city location, just moments from the city centre and Salamanca precinct.

Spanning four levels and 203sqm of internal space, the residence has been thoughtfully maintained to preserve its original character while incorporating modern comforts. High ceilings, period detailing and solid construction showcase its heritage, while contemporary updates ensure everyday comfort.

The layout is both spacious and versatile. The lower ground, originally the maids' quarters, comprises a living space and bedroom with internal access to the ground floor. The ground floor is designed for everyday living, featuring an open-plan lounge and dining area, a modernised kitchen, and a bathroom with laundry facilities. The back yard includes an entertaining area and landscaped gardens, creating a private retreat in the heart of the city.

Read the full description

On the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a large bathroom on the mezzanine level. The top floor can be used as a parents' retreat with a bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. In total, the property offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, suiting families, professionals, or guest accommodation.

Zoned Central Business, the property's flexibility is unmatched. Previously operating as the 'Chelsea Executive Townhouse', presents an attractive option for business operators, boutique accommodation providers, or those seeking a unique dual-purpose holding.

The location is exceptional. Salamanca's award-winning restaurants, lively bars, and Saturday markets are within a short stroll, with the waterfront and cultural attractions also close at hand. This combination of historic charm, modern amenity, and prime positioning makes 81 Davey Street one of Hobart's most compelling offerings.
