Given the $429,000–$469,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $429,000–$469,000(Listing record · 25 May 2026)
  • FactLand 639 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Huntly (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,131/m² of land (n=101). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 33% below the Huntly median recorded sale ($640,000, n=77, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Huntly's advertised median rent ($524/wk), implied gross yield would be 6.35% — 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.

Capital growth

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

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.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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 6.4%. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Affordable Huntly Living with Space

Set just off the Midland Highway in the growing and increasingly sought-after Huntly market, 1/7A Waratah Road presents a wonderfully practical opportunity for buyers seeking comfort, space and convenience at an affordable price point. Well presented, easy to maintain and positioned within close reach of the Huntly shopping precinct, Huntly Primary School, Strauch Reserve and the newly expanded Huntly Hotel, this is a home that offers a relaxed country lifestyle without leaving everyday amenities behind.

Set on a spacious allotment of approximately 639sqm, the property provides more room than many buyers may expect from a low-maintenance two-bedroom home. The shared driveway leads through to the residence, where undercover parking for two vehicles adds immediate practicality, complemented by additional sundry shedding, water tanks, a garden shed and a storage shed positioned off the carport. For downsizers, first home buyers, investors or those looking to secure a foothold in the competitive Huntly market, the combination of land size, access and functional outdoor infrastructure gives the property excellent everyday appeal.

Inside, the home feels comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly generous. The main living area is spacious and open, providing plenty of room to relax, gather or entertain with ease. A solid fuel heater set against an exposed brick feature wall brings warmth and character to the space, while split system heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort. The open plan design connects naturally through to the dining zone and kitchen, creating a simple and practical layout that works well for everyday living.

Read the full description

The kitchen is neatly presented and highly functional, offering excellent bench space, good storage and an electric upright stove. Its position within the open living zone makes the home feel connected and easy to enjoy, whether preparing meals, hosting visitors or simply moving through the rhythm of daily life. While already comfortable and ready to live in, the home also provides scope for buyers to add their own finishing touches over time, making it an appealing option for those wanting to personalise without taking on a major renovation.

Accommodation includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, both fitted with built-in robes. The primary bedroom offers a comfortable retreat with good natural light, while the second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a home office or additional living needs. The bathroom is generous in size and includes a shower, vanity, toilet and laundry facilities within one practical space, helping to maximise functionality across the floorplan.

Outdoors, the property continues to deliver genuine value. The rear yard offers a blank canvas for those who enjoy gardening, pets, outdoor living or simply having a little extra space around them. The water tanks and shedding add everyday usefulness, while the carport and covered areas provide excellent vehicle protection and storage options rarely found at this price point.

The location further strengthens the appeal. Huntly continues to grow in popularity thanks to its balance of township convenience, open space and easy connection back into Bendigo. From this address, buyers can enjoy quick access to local shopping, schools, recreation facilities, the Huntly township and major transport routes, all while retaining the relaxed feel that makes the area so attractive.

Comfortable, practical and full of potential, 1/7A Waratah Road is an impressive opportunity for buyers wanting to enter the Huntly market, downsize without compromising on space, or secure a low-maintenance investment in a location with strong ongoing appeal. With solid fundamentals, generous land, useful shedding and the chance to make it your own, this is a smart and versatile offering in a fast-moving market.
