With over a decade of experience and a network of more than 24 classified websites attracting over 14.2 million visits every month, the CarSales Network is sure to make an impact on the property industry with the introduction of this new site.  According to the site, their goal is to lower the cost of real estate advertising in Australia and offer you “an opportunity to extend your buyer and seller reach by listing your properties on homesales.com.au for FREE”.

With the cost of advertising on some real estate portals on the rise, we may soon see many people making the switch to this new rival.

A new type of real estate portal – www.onthehouse.com.au

If you come protfrom Brisbane or Sydney you may have noticed the launch of a new real estate portal called www.onthehouse.com.au. Over the past three months they have been running a fairly extensive bill board campaign in Brisbane and have recently kicked off a similar campaign in Sydney. I recently spoke to the Chief Operating Office of www.onthehouse.com.au, Luke Ingham-Myers about how the new site was going. He said that the response was overwhelming and the traffic to the site had exceeded their expectations. A few of the stat’s that he shared with me are provided below:

  • Over 1.6 million pageviews for the month of April
  • Average time on site per browser over 9 minutes
  • 80,000 Unique browsers for April to date

The key difference that www.onthehouse.com.au offers to the other portals around is that you can access historical sales data for FREE. So instead of having to purchase property reports from companies such as RP Data or Home Price Guide, you can now get this information for free from their website.

It is a real point of difference, and probably what is required to make a significant impact in the real estate portal business, which is now a quite mature market. Many other portals have come to market with essentially the same offering as realestate.com.au and domain.com.au but have been unable to grab significant market share, even without charging subscription fees. The simple reason is that the major portals attract the vast majority of website visitors, and without a significant number of visitors, even if your portal is free it won’t provide value to the real estate agency and hence will not be successful. A successful portal ultimately needs to attract a significant number of visitors to get advertisers excited. The stats that www.onethehouse.com.au are quoting a very good, and if they continue growing at their present rate then we very well may have another significant player in the real estate portal market in Australia. Something I am sure we would all like to see.
