It is the biggest thing you will ever buy, and the one you have never done.
No practice run, no second attempt, no handing it back if the street turns out wrong. Everyone else at the open home does this for a living. You get one Saturday, one deadline someone else set, and three questions you have no way of answering on your own.
The asking price is a position, not a valuation. Without something to check it against, the only number you have is the one the seller chose.
You are told the suburb is growing. You are not buying the suburb. You are buying one street inside it, and they do not all go the same way.
Nobody standing in that hallway is paid to tell you. The flood line, the flight path, the block approved next door — none of it is on the listing.
The asking price is what they want. This is what it is worth.
A first buyer has no feel for the gap between the two, because they have never watched a hundred of these settle. We value the property itself, on its own record, before anyone tells you what to offer.
Our valuation, and how often it is right
Within 10% of the eventual sale price about 87% of the time, tested on 182,517 homes under $800,000 that sold between 2020 and 2025. Read the research.
What the number is built from
Comparable sales matched on 30 features, not just the bedroom count. The three-bed that sold down the road is only a comparison if it is genuinely comparable, and “three beds, same suburb” is not the same thing. See how comparable sales work.
It is reading what actually sold, rather than the last six months of headlines.
Pricing this one home and forecasting where a place is heading are two different jobs. We keep them separate, and each one is measured on its own terms.
You are not buying the suburb. You are buying one street in it.
Every number a first buyer gets handed is an average of something much bigger than the house. The wider the average, the less it has to do with the home you are about to sign for. This is how much agreement there actually is at each level.
| Level | Price agreement | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| National | 13% | The figure on the news. It is almost nothing to do with your street. |
| State | 36% | Still an average across millions of homes you will never see. |
| Suburb | 61% | Closer, and where most advice stops. It still hides the answer. |
| Street | 96% | Street-level patterns explain 96% of price moves. This is the level you are actually buying at. |
How often homes at each level move the same direction. Read the paper.
Streets forecast across Australia, in 14,069 suburbs. Every street gets its own outlook, never a borrowed suburb figure.
Top-ranked streets beat the wider market by about 7% a year (2014-2026). On a first home, the street you pick on one Saturday keeps paying for as long as you hold it. See the street research.
Our suburb forecasts score a 79% hit rate across 876,000 past calls over 12 years. See the forecasts.
If you have not settled on a suburb yet, start there instead of with a listing. Find a suburb that fits, then read it street by street in the suburb reports.
Sixteen things nobody mentions at the open home.
Contamination, crime, flood and the rest. Sixteen measured risks per suburb, in one file, read before you bid rather than discovered after you move in. A first buyer is the person least likely to know which questions to ask, and the one who can least afford not to.
The problems that survive the paint job
A fresh kitchen is easy to see on a Saturday. A flood line, a flight path or what gets built next door is not, and none of them go away because you did not know about them. They are the part of a first purchase that is genuinely irreversible.
Ask it the way you would ask a person
You do not need to know which report holds which number, because you have never read one. Ask in plain English — what is this worth, is this street any good, what is wrong with it — and the answer comes back with the reason attached.
Hear it from the people who use it.
Buyer’s agents and investors who use Microburbs every week, on the record, and Australia’s most-watched property podcasts saying the same on their own shows. 79 seconds, their words.

“It gives our clients so much certainty. Independent data, quantified, and real peace of mind.”— Tabitha Bright, Buyers AgentSubscribeSee a free report
A valuation prices a property. A forecast predicts a street or suburb.
They answer different questions, so we keep them separate. One tells you what a home is worth today. The other tells you where a street or suburb is heading.
Valuation, for a property
What this specific home is worth right now. Within 10% of the eventual sale price about 87% of the time, tested on 182,517 homes under $800,000 that sold between 2020 and 2025.
Forecast, for a street or suburb
Where values are heading next. Street-level patterns explain 96% of price moves, and our suburb forecasts score a 79% hit rate across 876,000 past calls over 12 years.
We publish a paper to back every claim.
Since 2014 we have tested what actually drives Australian property growth, then built each finding into the platform. Every number on this page has a paper behind it, and you can read the lot.

What investors and agents actually say.
Direct quotes from customers on how they use the platform. Real names, real desks.
“This is what I was trying to do, get to a point where we use one tool rather than four. And that is great.”
“What I was missing with so many things was street level data.”
“The valuation is amazing. CoreLogic sits around 13% out, yours is around 6%.”
“It gives our clients so much certainty. Independent data, quantified, and real peace of mind.”
“So much better than leaning on multiple websites for public housing, flood zones and the rest.”
“The projection, the prediction thing is really, really good, which no other tool does that.”
“I do think it is going to give me an edge, the kind of detail that makes me stand out.”
