Help me to Retire

Domain.com.au has a new feature available for all you Aussie real estate investors out there. For $5.95 a pop you can input any address in Australia and find out its previous sale prices. This can be some pretty handy information if your wanting to look up the past growth of a property your interested in, or even if you just want to find out what the house down the road sold for.

If your a first time user, you must register. Do it here.

After that, create a new message from your mobile phone with the full address of the house that you want its price history. eg 24 Falcon Rd Walkerville 5081.  Send this number to 19 767 474.

After a few seconds you’ll be sent back the recent sales history with prices, or if they have no data they will SMS you a suburb median price report comparing that suburb to surrounding suburbs.

For a limited time this SMS service is $3.95 per use rather than $5.95 (billed to your phone account). So if you need this info and your real estate agent won’t provide it for you, then check it out.
