Let’s look at each in a bit more detail.

1.      Sell your house for free.

More and more property sellers list on Residz for no cost. It’s a great way to capture out-of-area buyers. Residz gives prospective buyers a snapshot of your neighbourhood and a direct link to your agent’s website listing.

2.      Find out more about your own house.

Type your home address into the free Residz search tool and voila! It’s as exciting as a mirror is to a budgie. So much information about the size of your land, distance to the coast, local demographics, internet speeds and so much more.

3.      Know your home’s unique bushfire risk score.

Using an algorithm to capture a number of data points, each home on Residz is assessed for its unique bushfire risk and given a score out of 10. What is the potential risk of your home?

4.      Discover your area’s ‘investability score.’

Whether buying a home or checking out where you live, use Residz’s proprietary Investability Index to discover the investability score of any area or region in Australia. This is invaluable for investing in property that’s out of your own area.

5.      Put a ‘dream price’ on your home.

Ever thought you’d sell if someone offered you your dream price? Well now you can signal that information to potential buyers with no obligation. Go as high as you like, it is a ‘dream price’ after all, as property expert Andrew Winter explains!

No real estate ad or agent will spell out the number of crime incidences in their area. So do your own research on drug, assault, disorderly conduct, and robbery crime trends in your chosen region. Residz gives you this information in simplified graph format and it’s quick, easy, and free to use. Simply type in any address and click on the ‘neighbourhood’ button.

7.      Find a school that suits your child.

Moving home may mean moving schools too. Which local school suits your child best? Residz lists the number of students, the teacher/student ratio, and the school’s national testing results. Plus, it links you through to their website. Easy.

8.      Download a property report.

If you’ve seen a home you like for sale or want info about your own, download the Residz free property report in the time it takes to boil a kettle. The property report sets out dozens of pieces of data about this home and neighbourhood in one easy-to-read document.

9.      Get information about every address in Australia.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Residz.com is how it curates and collates publicly-available information about every address in Australia for you. It’s completely free and presented in an easy-to-understand format. Simply type in any address and scroll around the pages.

10.   Search for Development Applications in any area.

The ‘Nearby’ button on the Residz website gives you the nearest pubs, medical centres, tradies, and more. It also lists out the Development Applications (DAs) nearby. This is helpful to see if there are plans afoot that will change the look and feel (and investability) of an area, such as apartment blocks, subdivisions, or extra storeys on nearby homes.

Summary

Residz offers a unique snapshot of homes and regions in Australia. It is free to use and jargon-free too. Within minutes you can have in your hand information that could take hours to find and collect. Residz is an invaluable tool for buyers, sellers, homeowners, real estate agents, real estate window-shoppers, and developers.
