realestate.com.au attracts the buyer for 9 in 10 listed homes that sell on the platform

  • Written by: Times Media

New PropTrack data reveals the impact realestate.com.au has on property sales, with the  platform helping Australian buyers find ‘the one’ 

realestate.com.au has today unveiled new data that demonstrates the role the platform plays in  Australian property sales. The data reveals that realestate.com.au attracts and engages the buyer on 9  in 10 properties listed on the platform that go on to sell1

The insight is the output of a new Buyer Impact Model, built by REA Group’s property data business,  PropTrack and independently verified. The new AI-powered model analyses billions of consumer  interactions with listings and property pages on realestate.com.au and property.com.au. This data is  overlayed with national property sales data to confirm which properties have sold. 

The model assessed more than 1.3 million Australian properties sold between August 2023 – November  2025. Both the methodology and the findings were reviewed and validated by Deloitte, marking the first  independently verified property buyer impact claim of its kind in the Australian market. 

REA Group Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer, Kul Singh, said the new data reinforces realestate.com.au’s position as Australia’s number one address in property, setting it apart for both the  scale and the quality of its audience.  

“Deciding to sell your home is one of the biggest life decisions a homeowner will ever make and vendors  and their agents can be confident that there are more buyers on realestate.com.au than anywhere else. Our market-leading audience of 12.7 million monthly visitors2 underpins the value of listing with us, and  

this new data takes it a step further. For the first time, agents have measurable evidence to  demonstrate to vendors that the sale of their home can be directly linked back to the impact of their realestate.com.au advertising campaign,” Kul said. 

“9 in 10 agents recommend realestate.com.au, and our customers have long told us that the majority of  their leads come from our platform. PropTrack’s new Buyer Impact Model now provides data-backed  evidence that our role in the market goes beyond advertising. realestate.com.au genuinely helps move  property, driving superior results for Australia’s real estate agents, project marketers, their clients, and  vendors. 

“We see a predictable pattern of behaviour as consumers move from browsing to finding ‘the one’.  Beyond enquiries and views, the model maps and analyses 25 distinct behaviours including engagement  with immersive content, listing saves and shares, agent contact reveals and inspection actions. We know  that on average, the eventual buyer spends almost 7 cumulative hours and consumes 28 times  more property images on the listing compared to non-buyers. This deep understanding of audience intent enables us to build property experiences that consumers trust and prefer, and connect our  customers with the highest-intent buyers at exactly the right moment.”

Unparalleled audience engagement and AI-capability powers new model 

The PropTrack Buyer Impact Model draws on realestate.com.au’s position as Australia’s number one address in property, analysing billions of consumer interactions and mapping and weighting behavioural  signals into a measure of buyer engagement ahead of a purchase decision.  

The ability to build and validate a finding of this scale rests on years of data and PropTrack’s advanced analysis capability. realestate.com.au recently reached the significant milestone of 5 million Australian  properties being tracked by their owner on the platform. This unique data, combined with AI-powered  analysis of consumer interactions, provide PropTrack with the scale to match buyer behaviours to properties that sell. 

PropTrack Executive General Manager, Kris Matthews, said the combination of data scale, depth of  audience engagement, and new AI capability underpins the analysis of the buyer impact data. 

“To model buyer presence at the point of sale with this level of confidence, you need a critical mass of  listings that sell, and audience depth sufficient to observe the full behavioural arc of a genuine purchase  decision. This is one of our unique points of difference, no one else can match this data to the scale of  REA Group,” Kris said. 

"The aim of the analysis was to demonstrate the true value of listing with realestate.com.au and how  this impacts a property sale. To do this we looked at the total market, as well as specifically narrowing to  properties listed on our platform. AI is the key accelerator of this kind of data analysis. Without it,  building a model like the PropTrack Buyer Impact Model would take years, not months.” 

About the PropTrack Buyer Impact Model 

The PropTrack Buyer Impact Model assesses properties listed and sold from August 2023 - November 2025 and related owner tracks and viewing activity on realestate.com.au and property.com.au. The model excludes unsold listings and viewing activity on third party platforms. Buyers may also have  viewed their property on other sites prior to purchasing. The methodology and findings of the model  were independently reviewed and validated by Deloitte Australia based on data provided by PropTrack.
