1/13 Rutherford Road, South Hedland WA 6722

Risks priced in | recent sale signals mild premium | price cycle favours entry | limited rental comparables This property sits in a complex where a near-identical unit sold for four hundred ninety thousand dollars in February twenty twenty five yet your target property is asking substantially less. The gap likely reflects differences in bathroom count, layout, or condition rather than market weakness. Without rental history or floor plans you are buying on street-level comparables and inspection impression alone. This is a hold-and-occupy proposition not a short-term flip. If it passes building and pest, the price is defensible. What makes this rare is the land-to-improvement ratio inside a well located complex—two hundred eighty four square metres for a villa in a market where median days on market stay under thirty. The catchment schools are walkable, the demographics skew young and owning, and the front-of-complex position gives separation from neighbours. This best suits a first-home buyer or someone trading down with cash, not someone chasing yield without documented tenant history. | Comparable Sale | Price | Inference | |—————-|——-|———–| | 11/13 Rutherford Road, 4 bed, Feb 2025 | $490,000 | Priced for extra bedroom and bath; your property’s discount reflects configuration not location risk | The recent sale in the same block validates the suburb and the complex—your property’s price looks justified only if you confirm the interior condition matches the opportunity. Do not proceed without a building inspection and a written rental appraisal from a local agent who has leased inside this complex. That step turns a defensible price into a confident decision.
