The shortlist problem

The portals help you find stock. The harder checks still come afterwards.

Price, bedrooms, bathrooms and property type are useful. They are also the filters buyers already expect from a property portal.

A serious shortlist needs another pass: mapped hazards, proximity to the places a client uses, and whether the property's own street fits the investment brief. Those checks can mean leaving the listing search and rebuilding the context elsewhere.

Property Finder puts those decisions into the search itself, so the list gets smaller before the due diligence gets expensive.

What changes the decision

Filter the property, its surroundings and its local market in one pass.

These are the controls not present in the public REA or Domain property-search filter panels inspected on 27 August 2026.

Mapped risks

Rule out the risks you do not want to carry

Screen for public housing, bushfire, flood, heritage overlay, erosion, transmission lines and mobile black spots. Surface a risk on the results, or keep only listings marked Safe or At risk.

Measured distance

Keep the property close to what the brief needs

Set minimum and maximum distance bands for schools, supermarkets, railway stations, parks, beaches, bus stops and health services. Selected results show the nearest matching place and measured distance.

Street and suburb context

Check the local market below the suburb average

Filter on street median price, median rent, ten-year growth and renter share. Add suburb price, rent, growth and renter-share limits in the same search.

The real product

The filter stays beside the properties it is changing.

See the active controls, the resulting cards and the context used to keep or reject a listing without losing the search.

An inspectable workflow

You decide why a property stays on the list.

Property Finder is a filtered search, not an automatic recommendation score. The criteria remain visible and the sort remains yours.

  1. 01

    Start with the area you can actually buy in

    Search up to 10 named suburbs or one broader region. Include neighbouring suburbs when the brief can stretch across a boundary.

  2. 02

    Use ordinary filters, then add the checks that change the decision

    Set beds, baths, cars, price, land size and property type. Then apply risk, amenity-distance, street and suburb filters before anyone drives to an inspection.

  3. 03

    Compare the smaller list and open the evidence

    Sort cards or use the table view. Open the available listing detail, or move into a Microburbs Property Report for the address-level research.

The honest limits

Missing data is not quietly turned into a clean bill of health.

When a risk filter is applied, a listing without the coordinates needed to test it is excluded rather than labelled Safe. Optional campaign details remain optional. That means some listings will have richer photography and contact information than others.

For buyer's agents and serious investors

Build the shortlist. See the reasons. Open the property that survives.

Move from a broad multi-source search to a smaller set of properties worth inspecting, then use a Property Report for the address-level research.
