Property owners and tenants can claim and track their property to monitor the estimated value and learn about recent sales for similar properties. By understanding your relationship to the property, we can tailor what we show and send you to make it more relevant to your situation. 

There is no limit to the number of properties you can track. Once you have tracked a property you will be able to track additional properties, make changes to your property relationship and change your primary property.

Price estimates are calculated by PropTrack Australia by looking at multiple properties and local market data points, which together can provide insight into the approximate value of a property. The data that informs the estimate range includes property and local market data including: Property types, Recent sales & local price trends, and Land area.
