Given the $870,000–$890,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $870,000–$890,000(Listing record · 5 May 2026)
  • CalculationLand 982 m² against a 142 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Rental yield

Based on the low end of the asking range, not a contract price.

No rent is recorded for this listing. Enter a weekly rent to model yield.

Enter a purchase price and weekly rent to calculate yield.

  1. Listed$870,000–$890,000available5 May 2026

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

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?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

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.

Listing material

Listed by Myall Coast Realty

Your Bush to Bay Escape Starts Here!

Welcome to 87 Cove Boulevard

Native gardens and treetop surrounds set the tone from the street. A concrete driveway opens to plenty of parking, plus a big covered front patio for morning coffees and evening catch-ups.

Inside, it's timber, glass and loads of natural light. Polished floorboards, exposed beams and a split-level design give the home real character-without sacrificing everyday comfort.

Read the full description

The kitchen sits right at the entry with slate floors, timber cabinetry, a crisp white splashback and a dark laminate benchtop. The wide window brings in the outlook-water views while you cook, and sunrise through the trees.

The open-plan living zone flows straight out to the front veranda via sliding doors, so the view is always in frame. A smart divider wall keeps the space defined, not closed in.

The second living room is your flex space-movie nights, kids' zone or a quiet read by the fire. Open-framed walls keep it airy and let the warmth travel.

Two bedrooms feature timber floors and built-in robes, while the master suite is a step up with a walk-in robe and a generous ensuite-complete with a full-size bath.

The backyard is terraced, private and leafy, bordered by tall natives and hedging. You've got a garden shed, cubby house and rainwater tank, plus two big under-house storage areas and a workshop with built-in shelving.

North Arm Cove delivers the best of both worlds-peaceful waterfront living, native surrounds and quiet streets, with everyday conveniences within easy reach. Karuah, Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest are approximately 20 minutes away.

• 967sqm block with leafy outlook and water views
