One platform

Confidence and clarity with your next selection.

Find the next best area before the rest of the market hears about it.

Find an area based on what matters to you.

Scour the map for hidden opportunities through typical price and rental yield. Or use the scan feature to pinpoint exactly the type of suburb you're looking for.

  • Ten layers at once. Typical price, yield, five year growth, infrastructure, education, health, transport, shopping, parklands and mining.
  • Project stages, not just dots. See what's built, under way and proposed.
  • 28 data fields. Prices, growth, yield, population, ownership and the economy underneath it.

Ten layers. Click one, see it on the map.

Every layer sits over the same ground, so you are never comparing one suburb's schools against another suburb's hospitals. Toggle them on and off as you narrow.

Motorway extensions, hospital precincts and energy projects, with stage and value.

Infrastructure layer shown on the Brixel map with the research panel open

Two areas, identical measures.

Click one area, then another. The differences line up on the same rows, so they're obvious rather than arguable.

  • House and unit prices side by side.
  • Population and median age. Who actually lives there.
  • The employment base the region rests on.

Set your numbers. Let the map answer.

Not "show me houses". Show me where to look. The search a listings portal can't run.

  • Filter on yield, price and population across all 15,334 suburbs.
  • Matches light up at once, including areas you'd never search by name.
  • Save the scan and come back to it.

Drop a pin on an actual address.

Two houses in the same suburb can have completely different surroundings. The pin shows you which one you're buying.

  • Distance from the front door to each amenity.
  • Everything within reach, layer by layer.
  • Report on the pin, not just the suburb.

Something to show for it.

A structured document, not a screenshot dump. It carries a plain-English note on how to read it and what it isn't.

  • Unlimited reports on any area, as often as you like.
  • Every figure dated, every distance qualified.
  • Yours to keep after your access period ends.
Where the data comes from

Data is only as good as its sources.

Population, demographics and regional economics come from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Infrastructure, transport, education, health and retail are compiled from state and local government project registers and operator records.

Put it in perspective

You're about to spend thousands to protect the property.

How much are you spending to ensure capital growth?

Building and pest inspection $550
Solicitor or conveyancer $3,500
Landlord and building insurance $3,000
Research and due diligence on the area $0

You will pay $550 to check the roof. You will pay $3,500 to check the title. You will pay $3,000 a year in case something goes wrong.

And nothing at all to check whether the area was ever the right one.

Amateurs guess where capital growth is. Pros don't.

Why people buy it

What this actually solves.

Not features. The six things that go wrong when the area work never gets done properly.

You keep finding the right house in the wrong area.

Settle the area before you look at a single listing. When the suburb is already justified, the house is the easy part.

You have watched properties sell while you were still deciding.

Screen dozens of areas in an evening instead of three across a month. When the right one appears, you already know whether the area stacks up.

You cannot explain the decision to anyone else.

Every area produces a dated, sourced report you can put in front of a partner, a broker or an accountant, and defend.

You research the same forty suburbs everyone else does.

Scan on your numbers and areas surface by the data instead of by reputation. Most people find something they had never typed into a search bar.

You are quoted $8,000 to $20,000 to have someone do this for you.

A large share of that fee is area research done before you are shown anything. This is that work, at a fraction of the cost, done by you.

Twelve tabs open and nothing lines up.

Ten layers on one screen, measured the same way for every suburb, so comparisons are obvious rather than arguable.

Not sure yet? Don't pay yet

The free account exists so you can see the platform before spending anything. You get every screen and every tool. What you don't get is the data behind them until you buy.

Built for desktop

Brixel is a mapping platform and needs the screen space. Sign up on any device, then open it on a laptop.

Before you start

The questions people actually ask.

What do I get with the free account?

The whole platform. Map, layers, compare, the area scanner, the property pin and the report builder. You can click through every screen and see exactly how it works.

What the free account doesn't show is the data itself. That's the part you pay for. No credit card is needed to sign up, and nothing is charged until you choose a block of access from inside the platform.

Is this a subscription? Will I be charged again?

No. You buy a block of access, either 30 days, 3 months or 12 months, as a single payment. Nothing auto-renews, no card is kept on file, and when the period ends it simply ends.

Do you tell me what to buy?

No, deliberately. Brixel shows you the data and the map; interpretation and the decision stay with you. Nothing in the platform or in any report is financial, investment, legal or tax advice.

If you want a person involved, the platform can connect you with independent professionals. That's your choice, not a step you're pushed through.

Which areas are covered?

15,334 Australian suburbs, across every state and territory, under 10 map layers and 28 data fields.

Coverage is not uniform. Not every field is available for every suburb, and dense metropolitan suburbs carry more behind them than remote localities, simply because more is recorded about them. Where there isn't enough data behind a figure, we don't show the figure.

How complete is the data, really?

We don't claim to hold every piece of data. Data changes constantly, and small sample sizes can skew a figure badly enough to be misleading. Where there isn't enough data behind a metric, we don't show the metric at all.

We're on the same side here. There are things we want to improve, which is why the platform has a feedback panel built into it. Tell us what's missing and what you want added: bugs, suburbs, data, features, all of it.

Where does the data come from, and how current is it?

Population, demographics and regional economics come from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Infrastructure, transport, education, health and retail are compiled from state and local government project registers and operator records.

Where there isn't enough data behind a metric, we don't show the metric. Figures are indicative and point-in-time. Confirm anything you'll act on independently. Full detail is in our Data Sources and Disclaimer.

How is this different from realestate.com.au or Domain?

Portals answer "what's for sale right now". Brixel answers "where should I be looking in the first place". It's the step before the portal, not a replacement. You'll still go to the listings, you'll just arrive knowing why you chose that area.

Why wouldn't I just hire a buyers agent?

You might, and for some people that's right. But the fee typically runs $8,000–$20,000, and a large share of it covers area research done before you're shown anything. If you'd rather do that part yourself, this is that work without the fee.

Some people use both: narrow the map here, then bring a shortlist to a professional instead of a blank page.

Does it work on my phone?

It's built for desktop. The map, layers, comparison view and reports all need screen space, and we'd rather say that up front. Sign up on any device, then open it on a computer.

How quickly do I get in?

Straight away. Create the free account and you're inside the platform immediately.

When you purchase from inside, the data is switched on within two hours during business hours, or first thing the next morning if you buy late.

Can I get a refund?

You can request a full refund at any time before the data is switched on, for any reason at all. Email us and we'll process it.

Once the data is live on your account, the product has been delivered in full. You have the entire dataset in front of you, so there's nothing to hand back, and the fee isn't refundable.

That's the reason the free account exists. You can see every screen, every tool and every limitation before you spend a cent. It's built for desktop, and the data has gaps we've named on this page. If you're still unsure after looking around, start with the 30 day option.

None of this affects your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Full detail is in our Refunds and Cancellations Policy.
