Feature Overview: Searching

MarketBuddy provides easy search functionality that allows you to quick get insights for any Australian Suburb. Once logged in simply start typing the name of the Suburb that you are interested in, in the Search Box in the navigation bar. As you type MarketBuddy will give you suggestions based on what you have typed so far. The autocomplete functionality works just like a Google Search only for suburbs. 

You can select the suburb from the drop down list and immediately get access to data for that suburb. You can then use the Filters menu to narrow down your search. 

Practical Example: Searching for Listings in Melbourne

In the below example we are going to search for listings in Melbourne CBD we are then going to narrow down the search to Retail listings under 50m². 

We start by typing melb in the search box and then selecting Melbourne VIC, 3000 from the drop down list. 

This gives is an overview of all the listings currently for lease in Melbourne CBD. 

Filtering Listings

While it’s useful to see all available listings, MarketBuddy truly excels at helping you narrow down the results to exactly what you need. Let’s use the Filters link to quickly exclude listings that aren’t relevant to our search. Click the Filters button on the right of the search box and apply the filters as per the below screenshot. 

1. Click Clear All next to Property Types
2. Select Retail and Offices under Property Types
3. Select 50m² in the second box under Area (floor/land)
4. Click the Show X listings button.

Once the filters have been applied the results will instantly update to show only the listings that match your specific needs. This makes it much easier to focus on the most relevant properties and provides clearer, more precise data points to work with. 

Summary

With MarketBuddy’s easy search, you can quickly find listings that fit what you’re looking for. Whether you’re doing a market review or comparing prices, just use the simple suburb search and filters to narrow down your options. This helps you focus on the listings that matter most and make better decisions, faster.
