Homer (formerly KoalaData) Extension

What is Homer (formerly KoalaData)?

An app working on domain.com.au:
- Displays the price history, past auctions, creation date and search price range for listings, including rentals.
- Median rent and gross rental yield.
- Let user post auction results.
- Extract the price from the Statement of Information (no more \"Price on application\"/\"Contact agent\").

Is it working in my state/territory?

Yes, Homer works for properties in all Australian states and territories (NSW, VIC, NT, QLD, WA, TAS, SA, ACT).

Why Homer?

As buyers, we grew frustrated not being able to get more transparent information about real estate listings in Australia.

Copying and pasting addresses and URLs in multiple websites in order to get more information was a very laborious and uncertain process and I just wanted something clean.

Australian people deserve clean and trustworthy data to make an informed decision for the biggest purchase of their lives.

Tom Jenkins (ID: 00000074e84d0279) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/30/2023 Fantastic extension. After being able to see listing and relisting dates and prices it gave me the confidence that my offer to the agent was reasonable / realistic and how many lies they were telling. Couldn't recommend koala data enough and feel much gratitude to the app developers. A must have for house hunting.
