How we help our clients
We help clients understand future market conditions and relational cyclical changes our outputs are used to identify opportunities and inform key economic and investment decisions.
Market demand analysis
While local developers are attracted and motivated by differing objectives, our extensive experience in analysing various demographic factors allow for detailed analysis of most key catchment drivers that will guide demand for residential property moving forward. We also provide population analysis at a detailed or regional level, and a breakdown of migration at a range of geographies.
Rental market context and forecasts
Our bespoke inhouse forecasting models enable us to produce long-term rental forecasts for the house and apartment market at a metropolitan level for all state capital cities across Australia, providing an important context for broader anticipated market performance in the years ahead. Clients use this analysis as inputs to internal feasibility calculations or to further inform potential external investors.
In-depth supply analysis
Our complete inhouse project listing of apartment developments in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane allows for a range of in-depth analysis of supply pipelines at a regional level. Our database includes details on potentially competing projects including location, number of dwellings and the expected completion timeframe.
