Really Worth Before You Buy
Traditional comparables match on bedrooms and bathrooms. Ours match on 30+ features including pools, train station distance, bushfire risk, and growth forecasts.

The problem with traditional comparables
You find a property you like. The agent points to three recent sales nearby. Same number of bedrooms. Similar land size. "The market is around $1.2 million."
But one of those comparables had a swimming pool. Another was 200 metres from the train station. The third sat in a flood zone.
Are they really comparable? Traditional CMAs say yes. The data says no.
Real example: Hornsby, Sydney
Two 2-bed units in the same area. A traditional CMA calls them comparable. The Microburbs CMA found 7 features they share (ensuite, secure parking, open plan living, gas cooking, storage space, built-in robes, modern appliances). It also found the features that explain the $123K price gap: one had a courtyard, pet friendly access, and timber flooring. The other had carpeted bedrooms, a balcony, and high ceilings. That feature breakdown gives buyers concrete facts to negotiate with.
What makes this CMA different
Every feature compared
Pool, solar panels, renovation status, garage, fireplace, open plan living. The CMA matches on 30+ property features, not just bedrooms and bathrooms.
Verified distances in metres
How far is the property from the train station? The shops? The beach? We measure the actual distance. No relying on "a stroll to the shops" from the agent's ad.
Risk factors included
Bushfire zones, flood risk, erosion, power lines, public housing concentration, mobile blackspots. No other CMA in Australia includes these.
Prices adjusted to today
A comparable that sold 12 months ago is not worth the same today. We adjust every sale price using suburb-level median growth rates so you see current values.
We measure. We do not guess.
An agent writes "close to schools" or "a short stroll to the shops." What does that mean? 200 metres? 2 kilometres?
The Microburbs CMA calculates the actual distance from each property to nine categories of amenities: train stations, bus stops, tram stops, supermarkets, shopping centres, department stores, the beach, the CBD, and public transport hubs.
When a comparable is 380 metres from the station and yours is 1.2 kilometres away, the CMA shows that gap in exact numbers. Every distance is objective, measured, and verifiable on a map.
What the CMA looks like
Real examples from the Microburbs product. Green tags are features both properties share. Orange tags are features only that property has.
14/2-8 Belair Cl, Hornsby (2 bed, $640K for sale) compared against 4/8-10 Bellbrook Ave ($763K sold). 7 common features: modern appliances, secure parking, ensuite, open plan living, storage space, gas cooking, built-in robes. The subject has a courtyard, pet friendly, and timber flooring. The comparable has carpeted bedrooms, balcony, and high ceilings. Each difference is a concrete negotiation point.
42/809 Pacific Hwy, Chatswood (1 bed, $630K for sale) compared against 101/809-811 Pacific Hwy ($720K sold). 7 common features: gym, air conditioning, storage space, balcony, gas cooking, built-in robes, spa. The subject has mountain views, city views, and stone bench tops. The comparable has secure parking and open plan living.
