The budget trims values about 2-3% nationally, but the suburb you pick matters around 20 times more than the budget itself.
Investor-heavy suburbs have been revised down about 4% versus the view before the budget. That can wipe out years of careful saving.
When too many owners are investors, selling pressure can arrive fast. Sydney Olympic Park is about 40% investors. Castlecrag is about 5%.
New apartments, nearby approvals and rental weakness can hit resale value. The risk is not city wide. It changes by suburb and pocket.
Owner-occupier suburbs are forecast to beat renter-heavy ones by about 2.3% a year (2026 outlook). In Melbourne, the gap is about 3.7% a year. See the post-budget suburb forecasts.
| Suburb | City | Investor share | Post-budget outlook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney Olympic Park | Sydney | About 40% | High risk. Investor exposure is about 8 times Castlecrag. |
| Dee Why | Sydney | High | Avoid. Renter-heavy profile puts resale value under pressure. |
| Melbourne | Melbourne | High | Weak. Melbourne renter-heavy areas trail by about 3.7% a year (2026 outlook). |
| Castlecrag | Sydney | About 5% | Steadier. Owner-occupier demand helps protect prices. |
| Brisbane | Brisbane | Mixed | Check pocket by pocket. Supply and rental mix decide the risk. |
A bad pocket can turn a good-looking deal into a long, expensive wait. See how risk shapes growth in our published research.
A home in Mascot carries about a $120k growth discount from aircraft noise over 22 years. Rents are unaffected, so the problem can be easy to miss.

“So much better than leaning on multiple websites for public housing, flood zones and the rest.”— Dharmendra Patel, InvestorSubscribe
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.
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.
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.
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.
Street-level patterns predict 96% of price moves, far more than the suburb average.

“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.”
The things people ask before their first report.
Street-level detail for every Australian suburb: median house price, median rent, 10-year growth, renter percentage, and rental and sales turnover — plus demographics, schools, transport, and flood, bushfire and other risk mapping. Street-level means you can find the streets with 8% renters inside a suburb averaging 35%.
We gather it ourselves. Our own database holds more than 90 million property listings, collected first-hand rather than bought in — which is what lets us go all the way down to street level and refresh it every week.
Median prices and growth forecasts weekly, every Monday. Property listings daily. Demographics annually, aligned with ABS releases. Risk maps as councils and government sources update them. Most competitors update monthly.
The annualised growth forecast has an 85% success rate across 15 years of backtesting and more than 180 monthly tests. When we predict a suburb will beat the 7% national average, we are right 85% of the time. Our top picks have historically returned 14.8% compound annual growth over four years.
We use a Smart Median — a hedonic model that accounts for capital improvements, market timing and property mix. A simple median is just the middle sale price, which skews whenever only expensive or only cheap properties happen to sell that period. Ours reflects the typical property in a suburb, which often means a lower but more accurate number.
Not a traditional trial. A free account gives you access to every product but not all of the data. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time, so you can test for a single month at full price with no lock-in. You can also buy individual reports without a subscription: $49 for a suburb report, $39 for a property report.
