The Best Property Data Software to Help Find Your Next Investment

It’s 2025. Investors on the hunt for their next acquisition spend most of their time in front of screens, and while the days of newspaper listings are long gone, access to real-time information has never been easier. So, why aren’t you using property data software to find your next investment?

Now, we’re not talking about realestate.com.au or Domain. These live property listings sites and apps are incredible for seeing everything out there in the market—which is the precise vantage point that your competition has. You’re not really bucking any trend, you’re not really gaining an advantage. But there is real estate-focused software out there that will give you the edge.

And in a real estate market as competitive as Australia’s, that’s a very handy thing.

Let’s get to the top property data software of 2025 that’ll make buying a high-quality real estate asset that much easier (and less competitive). 

Market forecasting and suburb insights

1. Oxford Economics Australia

A heavyweight in economic forecasting, Oxford Economics delivers suburb- and city-level property outlooks grounded in macroeconomic data. It’s not free, but the depth and quality of its reporting make it an amazing tool for serious investors wanting a telescopic of the market.

2. PropertyDirector

Designed with property investors in mind, PropertyDirector offers suburb forecasts, cashflow modelling and a long-term deal analyser. It’s ideal for building out 10-year investment scenarios and pressure-testing them with real market drivers.

3. HtAG Analytics

HtAG delivers suburb-level data visualisations and price forecasts that go beyond basic median values. You’ll get insights into yield, capital growth, risk ratings and future price projections, making it a very handy filter for before you purchase—especially if you’re considering  areas unfamiliar to you.

4. RP Data Professional

If you’re not at the very least using RP Data Professional, you’re missing out on one of the most comprehensive suburb and forecasting databases in Australia. RP Data—powered by property group CoreLogic—hands you everything on a plate, from current property data and sales information to suburb profiles and valuation estimates.

In a market where properties are moving extremely fast, it’s often painful to wait for monthly or quarterly real estate data updates. So, seeing and analysing recent sales data with your own eyes can truly help you ascertain the temperature of a market and the true value of the property you’re looking to buy.

AI-powered investment tools

5. Propity AI

This is a great AI-powered tool that pulls in real-time data and turns it into clear investment recommendations. AI is taking off, across all industries, across all tasks. So this software is ideal for scanning opportunities fast, especially if you’re juggling multiple markets or criteria.

6. Archistar AI

Great for development-minded investors, Archistar uses AI to assess build potential, zoning and planning constraints on a site. It’s a powerful tool for identifying off-market opportunities, something many investors only dream of having access to.

7. HotPropertyFinder

Built for speed and simplicity, HotPropertyFinder analyses listings across the web to flag high-yield or below-market-value properties. It’s like a digital buyer’s agent for data-led investors.

8. PropertyChat.AI

Not to be confused with the PropertyChat forum (a great resource for property investors), this emerging tool blends discussion-based insight with GPT-style Q&A, helping investors better understand property data and trends in plain English.

Deal analysis software

9. MYPROPERTYTOOL by EquityRise

This Excel-based deal analyser (yes, Excel—it’s still one of the top tools in an investor’s arsenal) helps you project cashflow, equity growth and expenses across your portfolio. Built for Australian property investors, it’s one of the better DIY tools for mapping out deals with long-term performance in mind.
