Given the $899,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $899,000(Listing record · 24 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationAsk is 13% above the Burrum Heads median recorded sale ($797,250, n=46, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Burrum Heads's advertised median rent ($632/wk), implied gross yield would be 3.66% — 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 $632/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. 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 3.7%. 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. 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.

Coastal Living With Side Access And Water Glimpses

Currently vacant and ready to move in or rent out, and positioned just one street back from the Burrum Heads waterfront, this four-bedroom residence offers coastal living without sacrificing space, practicality, or privacy.

The two-storey design provides approximately 146 m² of internal floor area, with the everyday living and entertaining spaces downstairs and all four bedrooms privately positioned upstairs.

At the centre of the ground floor is an air-conditioned open-plan living and dining area. Wide stacking glass and screen doors connect the interior with the rear deck, creating an easy flow for entertaining, relaxed meals or simply catching the afternoon coastal air.

Read the full description

The kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, a mirrored splashback, modern appliances, and a generous island bench. It is clean, functional and positioned to keep the cook connected with both the living area and outdoor entertaining space.

Upstairs, the air-conditioned main bedroom includes a walk-in robe, ensuite and private balcony with a slight water outlook. Three additional bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, while the main bathroom provides both a bath and separate shower, with the toilet positioned separately.

The privately fenced backyard is deliberately low maintenance, but it still leaves room for a buyer to investigate adding a pool, subject to council approval, services, easements and site constraints. Side access is suitable for smaller vehicles, adding another useful layer of flexibility.

With a single lock-up garage, internal laundry, three toilets and vacant presentation, this is a straightforward coastal purchase with genuine lifestyle appeal. The adjoining Unit 1 is also available separately, allowing buyers to purchase one residence or explore securing both.
