Stop Guessing. Start Knowing. Tired of seeing "Contact Agent"? Frustrated by prices that seem to change overnight? Homer (formerly KoalaData) is the ultimate toolkit for serious Australian house hunters who want to see the truth behind every listing. See the Full Property Story not what the agent wants you to see. Homer reveals the "hidden" history of a property’s journey: - Track Price Changes: See exactly when a guide price was raised or lowered during a campaign. - Uncover Failed Sales: Find out if a property was listed before, failed to sell, or had an auction cancelled. - Spot "Sneaky" Re-listings: Know if a "New Listing" has actually been sitting on the market for months. Stop the "Price Guessing" Game. Tired of being asked "What are you looking to spend?" before the agent even gives you a guide? Homer reveals the hidden price data agents use in the backend to filter their listings. - Take back the power: Come prepared to ask better questions about what the agent and vendor think are comparable sales that justify their price expectations. - Skip the small talk: No more awkward "What's the guide?" phone calls. - Compare with confidence: See how the agents previous sales and other comparables stack up - accessing both the guide price and sale price of sold properties. Research Like a Pro (Without the Work) - Everything in Sync: We keep up to date with the market and work across all devices and platforms (including our chrome extension). - Collaborate with Ease: Invite your client, partner or advisor to a shared space. Leave comments, upload photos/videos and rate properties together. - Stay Organised: Group your search into ‘Interested’, ‘Due Diligence’, or ‘Ruled Out’ to cut through the noise. Built for the Australian Market Homer is designed specifically for local conditions. We turn complex public data into clear, visual timelines that anyone can understand.
