Given the $675,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $675,000(Listing record · 26 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationLand 1,085 m² against a 128 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Austins Ferry (last 5 years) with land size: median $923/m² of land (n=68). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 1% above the Austins Ferry median recorded sale ($671,250, n=22, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Austins Ferry's advertised median rent ($588/wk), implied gross yield would be 4.53% — this is not a rent for this listing.(Districts scenario 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.

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 $588/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. 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

Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 4.5%. 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.”

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 EIS Property

Sun-drenched home with stunning water views, huge backyard - Room for everyone!

For forty years, 9 Sunshine Road has been a much-loved family home - a place where everyday life has unfolded, children have grown-up, stories have been shared and countless special memories have been made. Now, after four wonderful decades, the owners are ready to downsize and pass the baton to the next custodians of this gorgeous property. It is a home ready to embrace another family and become the backdrop to their own adventures, celebrations and treasured memories.

And how wonderfully apt the name Sunshine Road is! Sunshine floods this home throughout the day, bringing warmth and light to almost every corner.

First thing in the morning, the sun streams into the kitchen, making even the coldest winter morning feel inviting. Enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast while taking in the panoramic views across the River Derwent towards Mt Direction - a view that never tires. As the day unfolds, the sunshine moves into the open-plan dining and lounge areas, capturing that much-needed winter warmth. Add the ambient glow of the wood heater, or the convenience of the reverse-cycle heat pump when time doesn't allow for lighting the fire, and you have a home that is wonderfully cosy throughout the cooler months.

Read the full description

In summer, the dining area opens naturally onto the comfortable deck - the perfect place to relax, entertain or simply watch the ever-changing parade of boats and watercraft travelling along the River Derwent. The three generous bedrooms are all fitted with built-in wardrobes, with two enjoying the afternoon sun. Set away from the main living areas, the bedroom layout is particularly well suited to a young family, allowing children to sleep peacefully while life continues around them.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated several times over the past four decades, keeping it practical, functional and relevant while retaining the character of the home. An additional electric heater in the kitchen/meals area provides extra comfort, while the outlook from the windows makes preparing meals a genuine pleasure.

The bathroom has also been modernised, featuring a walk-in shower, with a separate toilet providing added convenience. But it is the original features that truly give this house its heart. Fireplace mantles, ceiling rose, sandstone surrounds, timber panelling and timber floorboards remain, bringing warmth, character and a wonderful sense of history. These are the details that make it feel less like a house and more like a much-loved home.

Many of the important big-ticket improvements have already been taken care of, including new roofing and a new switchboard, while grab rails have been thoughtfully installed in the bathroom and toilet. This is a home where you can move in, settle down and simply put your feet up.

Vehicle access is another real advantage, with a driveway running alongside the home to the under-house garage, separate carport and level additional parking - ideal for a trailer, boat or multiple family vehicles. Adjoining the garage is a versatile additional room with a window providing natural light and fresh air. Whether used as a home office, study, workshop or creative space, it offers plenty of possibilities.

And then there is the backyard - a garden paradise just waiting to be explored. It is the kind of backyard children dream of; trees to climb, corners to discover, games of hide-and-seek to be played and plenty of space for family dogs to run, play and do their very best zoomies.

After forty years of love, laughter and family life, 9 Sunshine Road is ready for its next chapter. A home with sunshine in its name, warmth in its walls and memories in every corner - now waiting for another family to make it their own.
