The best websites for your rental property search.
Not all real estate websites are the same when it comes to finding your next property. Some have more properties than others, some are more user friendly – but if you’re not on the right site then you might miss out on your dream property.
Here’s a list of 4 websites which I recommend for your property search.
Realestate.com.au
Realestate.com.au is the most popular website in Australia for property searches. Boasting over 8 million visitors each month across its web and mobile app across all of it’s websites.
It’s also very likely that all real estate agents in Australia will be posting their properties on this platform which means you’ll never miss out on seeing a property.
They offer resources for buying, renting and sharing houses. But also own similar websites for Commercial Real Estate and popular real estate websites across Europe and Asia.
The business was established in 1995 and is now owned and operated by REA Group, an ASX-listed company based in Melbourne, Victoria.
Domain.com.au
Domain.com.au has won multiple awards for their digital products, including their property app, website and Domain Review magazine.
It’s another popular site for Real Estate enthusiasts with an estimated 5.6 million monthly users.
They offer a number of services to help you with your property search whether you’re a tenant, looking to buy or just interested in the property market.
Domain Group also owns a number of other websites which span across commercial real estate, residential property and new developments.
Rent.com.au
Rent.com.au is the most popular exclusive rental only website in Australia.
Focusing specifically on the rental market, they aim to deliver a specialised service for tailored specifically to the needs of tenants and landlords.
Aside from an easy to use website, they have also developed several exclusive and industry-first products such as Renter Resume, RentBond, RentConnect, RentCheck, Rent.com.au Contents Insurance, RentPay, RentReports and more.
Always innovating, they’re a great place to look for your real estate.
Homely.com.au
Homely.com.au stormed the real estate industry a few years ago with a very aggressive strategy in mind. Their website introduces them as ‘an alternative to Australia’s other real estate websites. Those with banner ads at every turn and no sense of community.”
They offer a lot of properties on their website, perhaps slightly less than some of the other mentioned on this list.
The website is very easy to use and offers a lot of information about suburbs – which is great when doing your property research. They offer suburb reviews and a local Q & A section which is very useful.
