Tap a factor to see how the panel weighs it when scoring a market.
Sustained population growth and net migration create the underlying demand that drives long-term price and rental growth. The panel tracks where people are actually moving — and where housing hasn't yet caught up.
Major transport, health, education and government investment reshapes a city and re-rates the suburbs around it. The panel maps committed pipelines, not promises.
Where new dwelling supply lags demand and rental vacancy is tight, both prices and rents feel upward pressure. Structural undersupply is one of the strongest signals in the model.
Relative affordability tells the panel how much runway a market has left. A capital priced well below the southern cities can keep growing long after they stall.
A diverse, growing economy with strong employment underpins borrowing capacity and demand. The panel weighs jobs growth, industry mix and major economic drivers.
Suburbs with deep owner-occupier demand hold value through cycles. The panel favours markets real families want to live in.
