Question 1

What is suburb analysis?

Accepted Answer

Suburb analysis evaluates a suburb's investment potential using 23+ growth factors including DSR (Demand Supply Ratio), rental yields, vacancy rates, demographics, crime rates, infrastructure spending, and historical price growth. It helps investors and home buyers make data-driven property decisions.

Question 2

How do I choose the best suburb to invest in?

Accepted Answer

Look for suburbs with a high DSR (above 50), low vacancy rates (below 2%), strong rental yields (above 4%), positive population growth, and planned infrastructure. Our analysis tool compares all these metrics across Australian suburbs so you can filter and rank by what matters most to your investment strategy.

Question 3

What does DSR mean in property investment?

Accepted Answer

DSR stands for Demand Supply Ratio. It measures the balance between buyer demand and available supply in a suburb. A DSR above 50 indicates strong demand relative to supply, which typically drives price growth. Our platform calculates DSR for every suburb in Australia.
