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.

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.
Based on the low end of the asking range, not a contract price.
Pre-filled with Toormina's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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 $525/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.9%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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 Unreal Estate Coffs CoastBrimming with potential and positioned in a convenient Toormina location, 89 Sawtell Road presents an exciting opportunity for buyers with vision. Original in character and a little rough around the edges, this is the kind of property that invites imagination - whether you are looking to restore a much-loved home to its former glory, undertake a thoughtful renovation, or explore the possibilities offered by the R2/R3 zoning and create something new.
As it stands, the home offers a flexible two-to-three-bedroom layout. One bedroom is positioned at the front of the property, where it enjoys the morning sun and includes a built-in robe, while two further rooms sit off the lounge room and are both generous in size. Beautiful timber floorboards flow through the living areas and bedrooms, adding warmth, character and a strong foundation for future updates.
The kitchen was renovated a few years ago and features black laminate benchtops, white cabinetry and a practical corner pantry. There is also room to add further wall cabinetry for those wanting extra storage. The floorplan is not your standard layout, which gives the next owner the freedom to either embrace its individuality or rework the spaces to better suit modern family living.
Off the front sunroom, there is internal access to a single lock-up garage that is wider and longer than usual, complete with a workshop area at the rear. From here, you can move through to an additional living space - ideal as a kids' retreat, music room, hobby area or valuable storage zone. This space also connects directly to the rear yard via a covered deck, where an outdoor bath adds an unexpected touch.
The rear yard is generous in size with bamboo framing and established plantings including a mango tree, mulberry tree and a beautiful poinsettia that helps frame the garden. It is an inviting space with plenty of scope to enhance, landscape or simply enjoy as part of the home's next chapter.
This home with two air conditioning units, solar power and NBN is not for the faint-hearted - it will require renovation, hard work and a buyer ready to roll up their sleeves. But for those willing to take on the challenge, the reward could be significant. With Toormina Shopping Centre, Boambee Bay, local transport and the beautiful Sawtell Beach all within easy reach, the location adds immediate lifestyle appeal to an already compelling opportunity.
Whether you renovate, redesign or start again, 89 Sawtell Road is a rare chance to enter the market, unlock potential and create the dream home you have been waiting for.
