Frequently asked questions

How does PropTime score suburbs?

PropTime analyses 15 demand and supply indicators for each suburb including vacancy rate, days on market, rental yield, price growth, building approvals, population growth, and more. Each factor is scored and combined into a composite score from 0 to 100. Suburbs scoring 80+ show Strong Forward Signals. 65-79 show Positive Forward Signals. 50-64 are Monitor. Below 50 show weaker forward signals.

What is a good suburb score?

A PropTime score of 80 or above indicates strong alignment across multiple demand indicators — tight vacancy, fast sales, solid yields, and positive momentum. A score of 65-79 indicates solid fundamentals worth investigating further. Below 50 suggests the suburb has multiple structural weaknesses.

How often is suburb data updated?

PropTime suburb data is reviewed and updated monthly. Vacancy rates and days on market are the most time-sensitive indicators and are prioritised in each update cycle. The data update timestamp is shown on each suburb's analysis page.

Is PropTime free to use?

Yes. A free PropTime account includes 15 suburb lookups when you join (then 5 per month), the basic cashflow calculator, Freedom Calculator Path 1, a 3-suburb watchlist, and the AI agent with 10 questions per month. PropTime Pro at $79/month unlocks the full live ranking, unlimited lookups, Hidden Gems, suburb comparison, weekly score alerts and 500 AI questions. A 7-day Buyer's Pass ($59 one-time) gives active buyers everything in Pro for a week.

Which Australian suburbs are the best for investment right now?

Based on PropTime's May 2026 data, the strongest signals are in regional Queensland (Toowoomba, Mackay, Rockhampton), WA regional markets (Bunbury, Geraldton), and select Adelaide outer suburbs. Perth is showing strong demand but approaching peak pricing in some pockets. Sydney and Melbourne face affordability constraints with price-to-income ratios above 10x.
