Featuring SAPTG's Suburb Review Report

Last month saw the launch of our new reports.  Much of the change included enhancements to existing reports, such as quick link navigation between our reports.  However amongst the changes was a totally new report - the Suburb Review Report - a report so good we feel it warrants a feature!  In a nutshell, the report gives a comprehensive picture of the property profile of a suburb for both full and sectional title, and includes all the data detailed below.

Outside of purely property related information, the report includes suburb amenities such as shopping centres and schools, lists neighbouring suburbs and calculates the total extent (size) of the suburb.  A full vs sectional title split pie graph gives a quick picture of the make-up of properties within the suburb.
 
Property statitics, separated and supplied for both full and sectional title properties provides a whole host of information such as number of properties, percentage of FT/ST of total properties, median land size, median sale value and predominant price band into which most transfers fall.  Also included is the number of sales in the past 6 months and number of sales in the past 12 months - a good indicator of whether activity is increasing or decreasing in an area.

A sales history table displays the following summarised data per year for the current and preceding 5 years: number of sales, total value of sales, highest and lowest value, average sale value and median sale value.  The number of sales and median values per year are plotted onto graphs for a quick illustrative view of change.  A high and low value graph is also included with a 1, 3 and 5 year high and low median change percentage table.
 
A 5 year history graph illustrating number of cash versus bonded sales not only shows the cash/bonded split, but also highlights the trend of this split.  A pie graph displays the split of bonds to the top lending institutions, a good guide to which institutions have a risk appetite for the area.
 
For comparative purposes, transfer statistics for the current year are supplied for the 4 closest/adjacent suburbs.  Information for each adjacent suburb includes number of sales, total value, highest and lowest value, average value and median value.  Graphs for number of sales and median values allow for a quick comparative view of these adjacent suburbs.  Once again, full and sectional title data is split and provided separately.

The report is jam packed with all the information to arm yourself with local property knowledge.  To view a sample report, click here to download from our report webpage.
