Given the $790,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $790,000(Listing record · 11 June 2026)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Dynnyrne (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,450/m² of land (n=19). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)
  • CalculationAsk is 18% below the Dynnyrne median recorded sale ($965,000, n=9, last 24 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Dynnyrne's advertised median rent ($543/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.57% — 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.

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: Tasmania schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

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 $543/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 3.6%. 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 Downton Property

Two Residences. One Rare Opportunity.

Positioned in one of Hobart's most prestigious and tightly held inner suburbs, this substantial brick property presents a genuine dual-income opportunity that is as rare as it is compelling. Set against the backdrop of Hobart's CBD and the surrounding mountain ranges, Unit 11 of 28 Waterworks Road offers two fully self-contained residences across a total of 175 square metres, each alive with original period character and brimming with potential.

From the moment you arrive, the craftsmanship of a bygone era announces itself. Original stained glass panels frame the entry of Unit Two, casting soft prismatic light across a home that has been loved for generations. Inside, the property unfolds with a warmth and generosity that is simply not replicated in modern construction. Rich hardwood timber floors run throughout, ornate brick fireplaces anchor the living spaces, and original timber panelling, classic cornicing and period-correct joinery speak to the quality of what was built here. A sunroom wrapped in natural light, multiple living and dining areas, a bedroom of genuine proportions, a functional kitchen and a bathroom with shower complete a residence that is entirely liveable from day one while holding enormous scope for transformation.

Unit One, at 79 square metres, continues the theme of Heritage grace. A generous living and dining room flows through to a kitchen and bathroom, while the crowning jewel of this residence is its breathtaking wraparound sunroom, fully enclosed and flooded with light, capturing serene treetop and neighbourhood views that make it equally suited as a master bedroom, studio or private retreat. With its own separate access and self-contained configuration, this is a residence that will attract strong and consistent rental demand.

Read the full description

Beyond the two dwellings, the lower ground floor reveals a further 32 square metres of storeroom space alongside a dedicated laundry and additional storage, delivering a level of utility that today's buyers rarely encounter. Whether you envision a workshop, studio, home office or future conversion, the possibilities here are genuinely exciting, subject to council approval.

The aerial setting tells its own story. Dynnyrne sits elevated above Sandy Bay, and from this vantage point the full sweep of the Derwent River, the Hobart waterfront, the iconic Tasman Bridge and the mountain ranges beyond form a backdrop that no renovation budget could ever replicate. This is a location that continues to attract owner-occupiers and investors alike for its prestige, proximity and long-term capital performance.

Minutes from Sandy Bay's retail and dining precinct, the University of Tasmania, Hobart CBD and the walking trails of the Waterworks Reserve, the lifestyle credentials here are undeniable. Whether you choose to occupy one residence and lease the other, retain both as investment tenancies, or embark on a considered renovation to restore this remarkable home to its full period glory, the outcome in a suburb like Dynnyrne is virtually assured.

Properties of this scale, character and location are not simply rare. They are genuinely once in a generation.
