About
The Australian property API the banks use, priced like a SaaS subscription
Most Australian property data is gatekept by paid platforms (CoreLogic, Pricefinder) at $200/month for individuals or $12,000+/year for enterprise. The underlying data is mostly free, public, and government-published. PropPulse closes that gap.
PropPulse is an Australian property intelligence platform built on three principles:
- Use only official data. Every metric on the platform comes from ABS Census 2021, ABS RES_DWELL, ABS SEIFA, ATO Postcode Statistics, or state Revenue Office tables. No scraped real-estate listings, no proprietary "secret sauce". This means the data is reproducible, defensible, and licensed for commercial use under CC-BY 4.0.
- Compute, don't quote. Raw data is cheap. The value is in turning it into answers: Investment Scores, mortgage repayment estimates, stamp duty by state, 5-year return projections, FHB grant eligibility. We do the math so you don't write Census table parsers.
- Price for individuals. CoreLogic seats start around $200/month for the basic plan. PropPulse goes from free (5 postcode previews monthly) to $19/month for casual buyers, $59/month for active investors, $149/month for buyer's agents. The full pricing page is here.
What's behind the scenes
The platform is built and operated independently. The data pipelines run on a dedicated VPS pulling from official ABS / ATO / Geoscience Australia APIs and refreshing on the cadence each source publishes (Census every 5 years, RES_DWELL quarterly, stamp duty + FHB grants monthly via automated audit against state Revenue Office sources).
Computed metrics (Investment Score, mortgage estimates, forecasts, FHB eligibility) are calculated server-side on each request and cached for 24 hours. Every report you see uses the same data the API sells to developers — no two-tier data quality, no "premium" data hidden behind enterprise sales calls.
Who's it for
- First home buyers wanting clean FHB grant + stamp duty math without sales calls
- Property investors filtering 2,642 AU postcodes by yield, SEIFA, and Investment Score in one query
- Buyer's agents and brokers generating client suburb reports with whitelabel PDFs
- Developers and AI app builders who need structured, licensed AU property data via API on RapidAPI
- Researchers and journalists querying suburb-level demographics at scale
What we don't do
- Property recommendations. We surface data; you make decisions.
- Live listings. realestate.com.au and Domain own that market, fairly. Use them for listings, use us for the data behind decisions.
- Financial advice. Everything is informational only. Talk to a licensed financial advisor before committing capital.
- Sell your data. User accounts store email + tier + report history. Nothing is sold or shared.
