Searching For Property - MyRealEstate.com.au\\n\\n\\nRealEstate.com.au and Domain.com.au are antiquated portals full of ads that get in the way of your property search.\\n\\nWhen I do a simple search for properties in "Cronulla NSW" my adblocker blocks 17 ads on RealEstate.com.au and 26 ads on Domain.com.au.\\n\\nAds aside MyRealEstate.com.au is a better search tool for a number of reasons.\\n\\nA) You can use natural language (think Google) - \\xa0"2 bedroom unit in cronulla under $700k" (click to see the results in a new window). Other sites force you to enter criteria which is more annoying.\\n\\nB) You can use search terms - I love searching for properties with the keywords "rented for"\\xa0(click to see the results in a new window) to find out some yields of the area and even find positive cash flow properties.\\n\\nC) All properties - MyRealEstate shows properties from all major real estate portals plus real estate agents websites. So every property is going to be on there.\\n2. Growth Trends - DSRData.com.au\\nDSR Data (stands for Demand to Supply Ratio) collects a lot of different data point to give you an idea of how much demand there is from properties compared to the supply of properties in an area.\\n\\nHigh demand and low supply leads to a high DSR score and correlates to short-term growth of the area. Low demand and high supply give you a low DSR score and correlates to negative or stagnant growth of the area.\\n\\nSign up for a free account and you also get data or auction clearance rates, days on market, percent stock on market, percent renters in market, online search interest, average vendor discount, gross rental yield, vacancy rate and typical value.\\n3. Suburb Demographics - Microburbs.com.au\\nMicroburbs is a great new tool\\xa0that gives you immense amount of detail into the demographics of a suburb.\\n\\nIt will show you details and even heat maps of everything from public housing to crime rates to median income in the area.\\n\\nThis tool is an absolute must if you want to get an understand of what the area is like before investing into the area.\\n4. Previous Sales History + Comparable Properties - OnTheHouse.com.au\\nOnTheHouse is a great way to get a lot of the information found in a free property report.\\n\\nIt will give you an estimate of the value of the property, give you zoning details, land size as well as previous sales history for the property.\\n\\nYou can see exactly when the property was previously sold and for how much.

Historial Listings - OldListings.com.au\\nThe major real estate portals don\'t show when the property was listed. They want to hide this from you as they want to serve the best interests of the selling agents.\\n\\nOften a property may stay on the market for a long period of time and have lots of price reductions.'
