25 Years of Research. One Easy Interface.

We tested every property metric across 25 years of Australian transactions and built them into a single platform. Green means a metric drives growth. Red means it drags. You see the signals. We did the research.

Can GPT Pick Growth Suburbs?

We asked every version of GPT to name the top 20 growth suburbs in each state. Then we checked the actual prices.

GPT-3.5 ranked Sandy Bay as its 2nd strongest pick, predicting 8% growth. Three years later, prices fell 15%. Anyone who bought lost $201,000. Jindabyne was its 46th pick. Down 18.1%. Lost $243,000.

GPT recites phrases from real estate articles. It does not analyse live market data. Six of seven versions underperformed a random selection.

You Already Have Data. What You Need Is an Answer.

Investors and buyers' agents juggle 3 to 5 separate subscriptions. Dozens of tabs. Hours of cross-referencing. And still the question remains: is this suburb actually going to grow?

๐Ÿ“Š
3-5 subscriptions
CoreLogic, SQM, REA, PropTrack, spreadsheets. None talk to each other.

Hours per suburb
Cross-referencing vacancy rates, rental yields, supply data, flood zones, noise maps.

Still guessing
Is 3.2% vacancy good or bad? Is 5% rental growth strong enough? Nobody tells you.
๐Ÿ‘Microburbs answers all of this in one interface

Every Research Project. One Interface.

Since 2014, Microburbs has published research on market cohesion, rental growth thresholds, public housing proximity, noise impact, school catchments, and dozens more factors. Each finding is integrated into the platform.

You do not need to read the papers. The Growth Indicators distil every finding into a single colour per metric, per suburb. But if you want the detail, every paper is published and open.

Street-Level Precision. Not Suburb Averages.

Properties on the same street move in the same direction 96% of the time. Every suburb average hides streets that outperform and streets that underperform. Microburbs maps growth and indicators at the block level.
