For Housing Providers

Housing Market Data Reports

The Housing Hub is the leading platform for connecting housing seekers of accessible housing with providers of accessible housing in Australia. 

Since our inception in 2017, we have had over 350,000 people use the website. The platform has strong monthly new user growth and return visits. We are attracting almost 19,000 users to the site every month, building a strong presence and connection with thousands of housing seekers across Australia.

We average almost 15,000 searches per month and this is growing. People searching on the Housing Hub enter information about the type, location and features of a property they are searching for. 

In addition to searches, housing seekers can create a ‘housing seeker profile’ on the Housing Hub, which can include detailed information about the home they are looking for. More than 4,000 people have created housing seeker profiles.

The aggregated data from these searches and profiles, as well as our corresponding listings data, can be supplied as market data reports. These reports can be used as an indicator of existing supply and demand in any given location, and help you understand what housing seekers are searching for in that area.

You can access this valuable data in a couple of ways:
