9 St Lucia Cres, Avoca QLD 4670

4 bed lowset brick | 748sqm Avoca | no flood overlay | rental upside near Bundaberg This property presents a rare combination of size and safety in a market where flood risk is a material concern. The 748sqm block with a 309sqm home footprint gives it a configuration edge over most newer builds in the area, and the absence of flood or bushfire overlays removes a key buyer objection. It suits investors seeking a 4.5% gross yield with room to improve, and families wanting single-level living within catchment for Avoca State School and Bundaberg State High. The asking price sits slightly below automated estimates, which suggests the seller is pricing to transact rather than test the market. The main risk is the property’s age and the lack of recent renovation signals—the 2008 sale price of $340,000 indicates the home has not been materially updated in over a decade. Buyers should budget for carpet replacement, potential kitchen refresh, and possibly external repainting within three to five years. The rental appraisal of $690–$710 per week is achievable but assumes the property presents well; deferred maintenance will compress yield. The opportunity lies in securing this below estimated value, then holding for land appreciation in a suburb with improving amenity and no overlay constraints. Buy it for the block and the position, not the finishes.
