Given the $990,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $990,000(Listing record · 29 July 2026)
  • CalculationAsk is 29% above the Yorkeys Knob median recorded sale ($765,000, n=17, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Yorkeys Knob's advertised median rent ($524/wk), implied gross yield would be 2.75% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario calculation)

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.

Verify with your conveyancer.

Capital growth

QLD

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $524/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 2.8%. 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. 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.”

Read more

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

Vacant Land - Two Lot's & Approvals for Three Homes - Build Ready!

Design and Build Your Own Coastal Collection

Combined Lots 21 and 22 | 1,248m² of Coastal Opportunity

An exceptional opportunity to secure two adjoining parcels of land in one of Cairns' most relaxed and tightly held beachside communities.

Read the full description

Together, Lot 21 and Lot 22 offer a generous combined landholding of 1,248m², providing the space and flexibility to create something truly special.

Lot 21 - 9A: 750m²

Lot 22 - 9B: 498m²

Three architecturally designed residences have already been approved across the two lots. Ask to view the existing plans and explore the approved build options, or bring your own architect, designs and ideas to create a unique coastal collection tailored to your lifestyle.

Whether you envision a private family compound, multiple contemporary residences, an investment-focused development or a combination of lifestyle and income, this rare offering provides an outstanding foundation.

A Relaxed Coastal Lifestyle

Perfectly positioned for those seeking a laid-back beachside lifestyle without sacrificing convenience, the property places some of Yorkeys Knob's best attractions within minutes of your doorstep.

The Yorkeys Knob Boating Club is an easy two-minute drive away, where you can enjoy a meal and a cold drink overlooking the marina.

Half Moon Bay Golf Club is approximately 1.4 kilometres away, offering a challenging and enjoyable course, spectacular views and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

A patrolled swimming beach with seasonal stinger nets is only around 400 metres away, while one of Cairns' most popular off-leash dog beaches is approximately one kilometre from the property.

The village-style shopping precinct, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities are also just a two-minute drive away.

Spend your weekends fishing from the breakwall, launching the boat for a day on the Great Barrier Reef or enjoying the wide range of water activities for which Yorkeys Knob is renowned. The area is a favourite among kite surfers, wind foilers, paddleboarders and dragon boaters, with several hidden cafés and dining spots located just across from the beach.

Elevated, Leafy and Close to Everything

The lush streetscape is framed by mature shade trees that attract an array of birdlife and butterflies, creating a peaceful and established coastal setting.

Positioned on the knob, the land is elevated enough to capture cooling sea breezes and filtered leafy outlooks, yet remains comfortably accessible for the walk home from the beach, marina or boating club.

All of this is located approximately:

23 minutes from Cairns CBD

19 minutes from Palm Cove

20 minutes from Cairns Domestic and International Airports

This is more than two parcels of land. It is an opportunity to design and build your own coastal collection in a location that combines lifestyle, flexibility and long-term potential.
