Condition by mesh block — renovation signals from listings within 1 km (by gnaf_id)

GET/v1/properties/{gnaf_id}/mesh-blocks/condition20¢ per call

What condition are the homes in? For every mesh block around the property, how its listings describe the homes: renovated, updated kitchens and bathrooms, renovation potential, original features, air conditioning, and how many listings the shares are read from.

One entry per mesh block within 1,000 m of the property under mesh_blocks, nearest first, each with its mb_code, distance_m, population and dwellings. Blocks across suburb lines are included. Values only — the polygons come from /properties/{gnaf_id}/context/mesh-blocks.

Every field carries provenance — measured (at this block), measured_wider_area (measured for the SA1 or postcode and repeated on every block in it), estimate (our model) or not_recorded (not labelled yet) — plus how, one sentence on how the number was arrived at (empty when not_recorded).

About this data

What this is

The condition of homes around one address, block by block, read from how their listings describe them: for each mesh block within 1 km, the share of listings that mention renovations, updated kitchens or bathrooms, renovation potential, original features and air conditioning.

What people use it for

  • Buyers: see whether a street is mostly renovated or still original stock.
  • Renovators and investors: find blocks with renovation upside.
  • Valuers: a sense of typical presentation when weighing comparable sales.

Coverage

Mesh blocks nationwide (about 368,000). The 1 km radius crosses suburb lines. A field is null where we hold nothing for that block.

Tips

Each share is read from listings_read listings on that block; a share from two or three listings is thin evidence. Check provenance before quoting a field. Whole suburb: /v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/mesh-blocks/condition. Polygons: /v1/properties/{gnaf_id}/context/mesh-blocks, joined on mb_code.
