Rent is usually the largest fixed cost of a store. These figures show what space costs around an address, and how quickly the local market moves. In short K-Stra holds a database of 400K+ Australian property listings, residential and commercial, collected from property portals since 13 July 2026 and updated every month. From them it calculates median asking prices and rents per postcode, price per square metre, gross yield, quarterly trends, properties sold and price cuts. They are asking prices, not recorded sale prices. [Read the property market of an area](https://www.k-stra.com/a/?src=product-data-real-estate) Variables ## Which property variables are there?

The map shades each postcode by asking price per square metre. Within 10 minutes of 100 Sturt Street, Ballarat VIC there were 1,369 listings in the third and fourth quarters of 2026 so far. The median asking price was A$595,000 across 954 listings for sale, or A$3,574 per square metre, and the median rent A$425 a week. A year of rent on the median price gives a gross yield of 4%, measured where both markets had enough listings: 3 of the 5 postcodes. Of the 547 listings that left the portal, 261 were sold, and 241 had cut their price by a median 4.8%. Postcode 3350, central Ballarat, holds most of the market: 1,003 listings, a median of A$610,000 and A$3,770 per square metre.

Listings are the freshest public view of a property market: what owners ask, what landlords charge, how much stock is for sale and how often prices are cut. Updated every month, they show change long before official statistics do. They are not a register of transactions. Asking prices sit above agreed prices, rents are advertised rather than signed, and a quiet postcode can have too few listings for a median. K-Stra shows the number of listings behind every figure so you can judge it. Sources ## When is the property data updated? Property sources with the edition in K-Stra, publication date and next update Source Edition in K-Stra Published Next update of the source Public online business listings (third-party places data) Catalogue of 23 October 2026 23 October 2026 Every month Property portal listings, residential and commercial Collected since 13 July 2026; October 2026 update 23 October 2026 Every month FAQ ## What else do people ask about property data? ### Is there free real estate data in Australia? Some. Several state governments publish property sale records, and the ABS publishes rents and housing costs from the Census every five years. In K-Stra the map and the area dashboards are free to explore; reading the listings of an area with Real Estate costs 20 credits per analysis, whatever the number of listings. ### Can I get Australian real estate data through an API? Yes. Real Estate is one of the analyses open on K-Stra’s API and MCP server, at the same credits as in the app, with a price quote before each run. The documentation is on the Developers page. ### Are these sale prices? They are asking prices from listings, which usually sit above the price agreed. For properties sold, K-Stra shows the price the portal publishes when there is one, and the share of listings whose price was cut. ### How far back does the property data go? Listings have been collected since 13 July 2026, so trends start from the third quarter of 2026 and lengthen every month. For properties sold, the portal’s sale dates reach further back, and K-Stra reads the last 24 months. ### Why is the yield shown for only some postcodes? Because a gross yield needs both a median asking price and a median rent in the same postcode. Where one of the two markets has no listings in the period, the postcode has no yield. ### Can I value a single property? Yes, with One property, at 20 credits per property: K-Stra finds comparable listings from the last 12 months and gives an estimated price range, with the local market and nearby amenities. It is an indication from listings, not a formal valuation.
