Given the $1,100,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $1,100,000(Listing record · 2 Aug 2026)
  • CalculationAsk is 5% below the Sandy Bay median recorded sale ($1,152,500, n=36, last 12 months).(Districts calculation from recorded sales)
  • CalculationIf it leased at Sandy Bay's advertised median rent ($548/wk), implied gross yield would be 2.59% — 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

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 $548/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 2.6%. 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 Insitu Property Hobart

Waterfront Living Overlooking the Derwent Sailing Squadron.

Positioned within one of Sandy Bay's most tightly held waterfront precincts, this beautifully presented ground-floor Art Deco apartment captures uninterrupted views across the Derwent Sailing Squadron, boat moorings and the glistening River Derwent, delivering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a truly blue-chip location.

Combining timeless Art Deco character with generous proportions, beautiful dimensions and abundant natural light, the residence offers a relaxed waterfront lifestyle perfectly suited to owner-occupiers, downsizers, professionals or investors alike. Morning sun streams into the interiors, enhancing the warmth and livability of the home, while the spacious living and dining area flows seamlessly to a sunroom designed to make the most of the ever-changing waterfront outlook.

Thoughtfully configured for easy living, the well-appointed kitchen offers excellent storage, generous bench space and a dishwasher, while soft carpeting throughout adds comfort and warmth underfoot. Accommodation includes two well-sized bedrooms, both complete with built-in wardrobes. The spacious main bedroom provides a comfortable retreat, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office or additional living space.

Read the full description

A large separate laundry provides valuable additional storage, complemented by a secure single lock-up garage, a particularly desirable feature, with the two upstairs apartments not having garages. There is also useful storage space between the garage and laundry, while the hot water cylinder was upgraded to a new large unit in 2023 and relocated to the storage area, creating additional space within the laundry.

The property has also benefited from upgraded electrical work, heaters and lighting in 2023, providing modern functionality while retaining the charm and character of the Art Deco architecture.

Offering a level entry from the side gate, the property enjoys a wonderfully private and convenient position, with the side gate rarely used by others. There is also the added convenience of being able to park outside the side gate for removals and heavy deliveries, with this area located on Crown land. The owners also hold an additional five feet of land extending from the garage wall towards the casino, adding further appeal and flexibility to the property.

The location is second to none, just moments from the Derwent Sailing Squadron, Wrest Point Casino and the waterfront, while cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday conveniences are all close at hand. A bus stop is conveniently positioned right outside, while Salamanca, Hobart's CBD and the University of Tasmania are all within easy reach.

Despite its central location, the apartment enjoys an unexpectedly peaceful and quiet setting, sitting below road level and sheltered from much of the surrounding activity. The immediate neighbourhood is also highly regarded, with wonderful neighbours and a strong sense of community.

Now held under strata title, having previously been company title, the property offers the simplicity and security of individual title ownership. Importantly, short-stay accommodation is not permitted, with a minimum six-month rental period applying, providing reassurance for owner-occupiers and those seeking a more settled residential environment.

Offering an enviable balance of absolute waterfront living, timeless Art Deco appeal, generous dimensions, tranquillity and exceptional city convenience, this is a rare opportunity to secure a unique residence in one of Hobart's most desirable lifestyle destinations.
