What is RP Data?
When you’re thinking about buying a property, it’s important to learn as much about the property as you can before you purchase.
RP Data property reports can help you by giving you an estimated property value, as well as information about recent sales in the area and other valuable suburb insights.
What is RP Data?
RP Data (rich property data) is a subscription product that gives you access to 20 years' worth of property data collected by property research company CoreLogic.
An RP Data report will give you extensive information about the property you’re planning on buying or selling. RP Data reports are the most reliable source of information if you’re planning on buying a property or if you just want to learn more about a local property market.
Each RP Data report includes an estimated price range for the property, recent sale prices for similar properties in the area, details of nearby properties that are on the market, information on the suburb’s performance and a suburb profile.
How RP Data can help you buy or sell
RP Data is mostly used by real estate agents but it can also help you make smarter property decisions if you’re thinking about buying or selling.
RP Data lets you do your homework on the property market before you buy or sell. If you’re thinking about buying, RP Data can tell you the estimated price range of the property you’re interested in and what similar properties in the area have recently sold for. This can help you see if the property you want to buy is overpriced and how much you should be offering for it as a result.
Similarly, if you’re selling, RP Data can tell you what’s currently on the market and what it’s being offered for, which can help you price your property competitively. You can also find out how property in your suburb is performing including changes in the median sale price, which can tell you if now is a good time to sell or if you should wait it out.
If you’re looking for an investment property, RP Data can also estimate the investment rental yield to help you with your purchase decision. It can also tell you what has been the capital growth trends for the area you’re looking in.
