How we judge

Six lenses on the suburb. Four on the property.

Every shortlisted suburb is scored across 40+ factors through six lenses, each asking a different question of the same place, together building the complete picture. Then, inside the suburbs that pass, every property is scored across 70+ factors through four more. Tap any of them to see some of what it looks at.

Stage 2 · The property4 lenses · 70+ factors
Stage 1 · Suburb

Demand: is anyone competing to buy here?

How many people may want in, against how little is available. Often the strongest short-term driver of price, so we read the trend, not just today.

Some of what we look at
  1. How fast homes tend to sellQuick sales can mean buyers are competing, not waiting.
  2. How many rental homes are sitting emptyFew empty rentals may point to tenants competing for every home.
  3. Sales volume per yearHow many homes actually sell here each year. Thin turnover may make every other signal less reliable.
Stage 1 · Suburb

Supply: is stock running thin?

What's for sale now, how quickly it would sell, and how rarely homes come up at all. Strong demand may do little for prices if there's plenty of stock to meet it.

Some of what we look at
  1. How much is for sale nowA thin market may quietly favour the buyer already in it.
  2. How long it would take to sell what's listedOnly a few months' worth of stock may point to supply running tight.
  3. How long owners hold before sellingOwners staying put for longer may leave fewer homes ever reaching the market.
Stage 1 · Suburb

Growth: already run, or still ahead?

Whether a suburb may have already had its big move, potentially less upside, or could still have room. We'd generally rather buy before the growth than chase it.

Some of what we look at
  1. Whether prices have already surgedA recent race ahead may have borrowed from the future.
  2. Whether rents are climbingRising rents may point to genuine, tenant-led demand.
  3. Whether more people are arrivingPopulation outpacing the state may add steady pressure.
Stage 1 · Suburb

Affordability: can locals pay more?

Prices may only rise as far as local incomes can carry them. We look for headroom and the early signals a suburb may be on its way up.

Some of what we look at
  1. How stretched households appearComfortable housing costs may leave room for prices to rise.
  2. Whether local incomes are climbingRising local incomes may lift what buyers here can afford to pay.
  3. How long it takes locals to pay off a homeThe fewer the years, the more local buyers may be able to step in.
Stage 1 · Suburb

Qualitative: what a spreadsheet can't score.

Not everything is a number. We try to judge the outcome, not the headline, the changes that may genuinely reshape a suburb.

Some of what we look at
  1. Infrastructure that may change daily lifeTransport that could genuinely cut a commute.
  2. Real, lasting jobsThe more permanent kind that tend to stay, not crews that leave.
  3. Economic diversityIdeally no single industry the suburb depends on, so one downturn may not sink it.
Stage 1 · Suburb

Macro: this is about when, not where.

The tide underneath the Australian property market. The national backdrop tends to move every market at once, so it can't pick a suburb, it can suggest whether the timing is likely a tailwind or a headwind.

Some of what we look at
  1. The direction of interest ratesCheaper money may lift what every buyer is able to pay.
  2. How freely banks are lendingTighter credit may cool every market at once.
  3. The wider economyEmployment rates, migration levels.
Stage 2 · Property

Fundamentals: the land and its setting.

Before we ever look inside, we look at the block, where value and hidden risk may really sit. A great house on a compromised block can still be a compromised buy.

Some of what we look at
  1. Flood and bushfire exposureNatural hazard overlays may increase insurance cost and affect lending and resale.
  2. What the land itself is doingRegular, well-proportioned blocks with real land value behind them may hold and grow better.
  3. The age and condition of the propertyOlder stock and the way the land is zoned can affect what you, or a future buyer, may be able to do.
Stage 2 · Property

Outdoor: the structure and exterior.

The bones of the home and everything around it: durability, likely maintenance cost, and the first impression that can help a place rent and resell.

Some of what we look at
  1. The bones of the buildConstruction type and the state of the roof and facade.
  2. What's around the homeFencing, driveway, parking and sheds that families and tenants often expect.
  3. The first impressionGarden, entrance and street appeal, the things that can lease and sell faster.
Stage 2 · Property

Indoor: the liveability.

How the home actually lives, and the rooms tenants and buyers tend to judge hardest. Condition here is where a renovation lever may quietly hide, or where hidden costs can.

Some of what we look at
  1. How the home flowsOpen-plan living and sensibly sized rooms that may suit how people live.
  2. The rooms that can decide a leaseKitchen and bathrooms, where condition often matters most to value.
  3. The everyday comfortsThe state of floors, walls and windows, and the fixtures that wear out first.
Stage 2 · Property

Location & Convenience: what's in reach.

The exact spot within the suburb. Two houses a few streets apart can score quite differently once you map what's nearby, and what may be a little too near.

Some of what we look at
  1. What's an easy trip awayParks, transport, schools and shops at the distances that can genuinely lift demand.
  2. The balance of convenient vs too-closeNear enough to matter, far enough to stay pleasant.
  3. What to keep your distance fromThe busy roads, high-voltage powerlines and certain facilities that may quietly drag on value.
