FIND, AUSTRALIA’S FIRST NATIONAL PROPERTY PORTAL DESIGNED TO OPTIMISE OFF-THE-PLAN SALES FOR DEVELOPERS, IS LAUNCHED

27 January 2009 – A revolutionary new website which promises to assist residential property developers in optimising both new-build and off-the-plan project sales has been launched in Australia. The site is targeted towards both investors and home buyers, and in particular to capitalise on the recent tripling of first-home buyers grants. 

www.findinvestmentproperty.com.au is a one-stop shop where prospective purchasers can find details of all the latest new-build and off-the-plan properties currently available for sale, as well as comprehensive research and additional information on local sales and rental markets.

This portal will contain information covering everything there is to know about the developments and their locations. It provides comprehensive and holistic data, statistics and advice which will help investors and home buyers with their purchase.

The new website also carries a range of brand new features and capabilities which set it apart from other real estate websites. It is the first of its kind in Australia to employ these features, designed to increase functionality and increase user friendliness. It is also the first to provide such a large amount of detailed additional information on all aspects investors must consider as part of their due diligence.

Some of Find’s unique features and capabilities include:
1. Developer profiles including details of active and past projects
2. Research and data on local and regional markets, information on local amenities including schools and public transport
3. Maps of each locality
4. The capability to search properties by price, region and developer
5. A ‘Knowledge Centre’ containing news articles and market commentary from industry experts (from March/April 09)

The website will be pro actively marketed to Find’s national and international database of investors, to convey its usefulness in helping to speed up their due diligence process and negating the need to visit the area to assess its suitability. Find will place this information directly at their finger tips!

The creators behind www.findinvestmentproperty.com.au have developed this exciting new portal in response to a significant demand in a niche market where something of this detail, ability and potential is an industry first. Find also offers an additional service to developers of regular updates and feedback on the level of interest each property is receiving throughout the year, all as part of
the service.

Mark Mendel, founder and CEO of Find Investment Property said, “We have had an overwhelming amount of feedback from developers and investors alike which indicates there is real demand for this type of website. With the recent interest rate cuts and more forecast to take place in the New Year, it’s a great time for investors to buy. It’s just a question of presenting them with enough information so they can make decisions and snap up the opportunities.”

Mr Mendel continued, “One of the common complaints from developers marketing new properties off-the-plan is that they are currently having to compete with resale's on all other property listings’ websites. Find only features new-build properties, allowing for a totally fair comparison.”
