The way Australians search for property is changing faster than at any point in the industry’s history. The combination of artificial intelligence, off-market platforms, and data-driven investment analysis is shifting power from agents and portals to buyers and investors. Here is what the future of property search looks like — and how Collings is building it.
Where Property Search Is Today (2026)
Today, 85% of Australian property searches begin on Domain or realestate.com.au. These portals aggregate on-market listings from selling agents and provide basic filtering (price, bedrooms, suburb). They are passive — they show you what agents decide to list publicly, when agents decide to list it.
Where Property Search Is Going
| Today | 2028+ |
|---|---|
| Search portals (REA, Domain) | AI-powered intelligence platforms (GeeVee) |
| On-market listings only | On-market + off-market + pre-market combined |
| Basic filters (price, beds, suburb) | Intent-based matching (find me a 6% yield property near good schools) |
| Agent-controlled information | Buyer-controlled data and analysis |
| Generic suburb data | Street-level, property-level intelligence |
| Manual due diligence | AI-assisted due diligence in minutes |
