Useful property & finance links
The trusted Australian sites I point clients to — for finding a property, checking values, researching an area, or resolving a dispute.
Find a property — for sale or rent
realestate.com.au
Australia's largest property listings site, for both sale and rental properties nationwide.
domain.com.au
A major alternative listings portal with strong suburb profile and school zone data.
homely.com.au
Listings plus genuine local reviews from residents about what an area is actually like to live in.
Check a property's value
onthehouse.com.au
Free property reports and estimated value ranges, backed by CoreLogic data. Treat estimates as a starting point, not a formal valuation.
propertyvalue.com.au
Estimated values, comparable sales and price history, also powered by CoreLogic.
Research the rental market
SQM Research
Independent vacancy rates and asking rents by capital city — useful if you're weighing up an investment purchase.
My School
The Australian Government's official school profile site — handy for checking a school catchment before you buy.
Government & consumer protection
Queensland Revenue Office
Official source for current transfer duty rates and First Home Owner Grant thresholds in Queensland.
Residential Tenancies Authority (QLD)
The Queensland Government body covering bond lodgement and tenancy rights — relevant if you're renting out an investment property.
ASIC Moneysmart
Independent, government-run guidance and calculators for Australian consumers.
AFCA
The Australian Financial Complaints Authority — the free, independent body for resolving disputes with any financial firm, including credit representatives like myself.
A note on estimates
Online valuation tools are a useful starting point, but they're automated estimates, not a formal valuation — actual sale prices can differ significantly. If you're relying on a number for a real decision, it's worth getting a proper appraisal.
