Part 2: Going Beyond the Suburb: The Power of Street-Level Data

The Benefits of Street-Level Data: Street-level data offers specific and actionable insights beyond broad suburb-level information. Here’s why it matters:

  1. Streets Are Not Made Equal: Street-level data allows for precise property selection. By drilling down to specific streets, customers can identify which areas within a suburb have the highest potential for investment or the best living conditions.
  2. Understanding Neighborhood Dynamics: This data helps in understanding the dynamics of a specific neighbourhood, such as the types of residents, the turnover rate of properties, and the presence of amenities and services.
  3. Assessing Local Market Trends: Street-level insights reveal local market trends that might not be visible at the suburb level. This includes trends in property prices, street medians, public housing rates, rental yields, and demand for housing in specific streets.
  4. Risk Mitigation: By providing information on crime rates, school zones, and environmental factors at the street level, customers can better assess the risks associated with different locations.
  5. Turnover Rates: Understanding how often properties change hands can indicate an area’s desirability. High turnover might suggest a vibrant market, while low turnover can indicate stability or lack of desirability.
  6. Development Applications: Tracking planned developments that could impact property values. Upcoming projects can significantly affect the desirability and value of nearby properties.
  7. Customisation of Property Searches: Street-level data enables highly customised property searches, allowing users to filter and sort properties based on very specific criteria relevant to their needs and preferences.
