26 Moira Cres, St Marys NSW 2760

No bushfire or flood risk | 695 m² with duplex potential | 24 years same ownership | Auction 16 May 1pm This house’s primary risk is pricing uncertainty given a 24-year hold period and absence of recent comparable sales in the immediate area. The buyer pays for deferred vendor expectations if the auction runs hot. The opportunity lies in the council-approved duplex potential on a high-side block—this creates a capital uplift pathway that owner-occupiers typically cannot capture, but an investor or developer can. Hold for land value growth or execute the development within 12 months to monetise the zoning. The property is a buy for those with development appetite, not for pure lifestyle buyers. The high-side position on 695 m² at auction is competitively rare in a blue-chip transport corridor, especially with St Marys Station upgrading to Metro. The neat existing house offers immediate rental cover at around $705-$795 per week while you prepare an approval. This suits a local investor or a trade-savvy buyer who can manage a dual-occupancy project. Comparable sales data is not present in the provided information, so value inference is limited to the mid-range estimate of $1.12 million—benchmark this against what a finished duplex on the same block would sell for before bidding.
