What we check before you buy

Every property is scored across the three areas most likely to shape its investment performance.

Will it grow?

Growth potential. We check price trends, population growth, infrastructure projects and economic drivers.

  • Capital growth trends
  • Population and demographics
  • Infrastructure pipeline

What could it cost you each week?

Cashflow returns. We pull live rents and vacancy, then work out the real weekly surplus or shortfall.

What could go wrong?

Risk flags. We check crime, flood zones, oversupply, lender restrictions and exit liquidity.

  • Suburb crime and safety data
  • Lender and supply risk
  • Entry point and liquidity

Scoring that matches your strategy

Not a generic algorithm. The same property can score differently because each mode weights the 12 criteria to match what you are actually buying for.

Balanced

Equal weight across yield, growth and risk. Good for first-timers who want a comprehensive view.

Capital Growth

Prioritises suburbs with infrastructure, population growth and long-term price appreciation.

High Yield

Cashflow first. Prioritises gross yield, vacancy rates and rental demand over capital growth.

Regional

A market mode for regional areas, where liquidity, data depth and economic concentration change the risk profile.

Illustrative example. Each mode reweights the same 12 criteria, so the strategy is a real change in the maths, not just a label.

Why this exists

Built to screen a shortlist, not to sell you one.

PropertyRanker started with a simple frustration. You open ten listing tabs, and every one is written to sell. There is no consistent way to compare them on the things that actually decide whether an investment works.

So this is the screen I wanted for my own decisions. It runs the same 12 checks on every property, shows where each number came from, and takes no commission from any agent or seller. The score is a starting point for your own due diligence, not financial advice and not a promise about the future.

Have you scored a property and found something the listing missed? I read every note. Tell me at [email protected].

Independent

No agent commissions and no seller referrals. The score has no reason to talk you into a property.

Data first, AI second

Every score is built on Australian property, rental, demographic, crime and planning data. AI reads the evidence, it does not invent the inputs.

Built for comparison

Save your shortlist and compare finalists side by side, so a good buy stops being a guess.

Data and methodology

Data first. AI second.

Every score combines Australian property, rental, demographic, crime and planning data. AI interprets the evidence, but it does not invent the inputs. Every result shows the sources it used, so you can see where every number came from.
