Your goal is the strongest fit within your budget, strategy and shortlist. A realistic 7.5 can be a better buy than a 9.0 you cannot afford.

PropertyRanker measures how well a property fits your chosen strategy, given the data we can verify. It does not rank properties against an unattainable national best.
Treat the scale like a school grade. Reject anything under 9. Wait for the perfect property. Watch the market move while you wait.
Use the score to narrow the properties you can realistically buy to a shortlist. Then compare Growth, Cashflow and Risk to choose the one that best fits your plan.
Scores roll up 12 criteria across Growth, Cashflow and Risk into a single 0 to 10 number. The verdict band describes what we found, in plain English.
Twelve criteria, grouped into three pillars. Pillar scores show as the coloured bars next to the overall number.
The capital appreciation case. Are prices moving, what is driving them, and is the suburb structurally set up to keep moving?
What the property earns while you hold it. Verified rents and vacancy from SQM Research, not agent estimates.
How exposed the property is, and how easily you can exit if something goes wrong. Scored so a higher number means a safer profile, not a riskier one. The pillar most often missed by glossy listings.
A high-yield regional unit might score 7.5 on High Yield and 5.5 on Capital Growth. Choosing the right strategy is half the analysis. Each strategy also sets a strong yield benchmark, the gross yield level we read as a good result.
Equal-ish weighting across Growth, Cashflow and Risk. The default for investors who want a defensible all-rounder rather than a specific bet.
Strong yield benchmark: 5.0%+Growth pillar carries the most weight. Lower yields are tolerated when the growth signals are strong. Often points to capital cities and gentrifying middle-rings.
Strong yield benchmark: 3.5%+Cashflow pillar carries the most weight. Yield-rich locations score well even with softer growth, so long as risk is contained.
Strong yield benchmark: 6.0%+Yield expectations lift, growth expectations soften, and Risk weighting goes up to reflect thinner regional markets, exit liquidity, and single-employer exposure.
Strong yield benchmark: 7.0%+Here is what you receive and the three things to check when reading any score.
A sample result. The numbers below match the three things to check, in order.
Make sure the strategy on the report matches your actual plan. A Balanced score on a property you intend to hold for income will read low.
The overall number compresses a lot. A 6.5 with strong Cashflow and weak Risk is a very different deal to a 6.5 with strong Growth and weak Cashflow.
The overall number and verdict sum it up, but read them last, after the strategy and pillars. Then compare several properties within the same strategy to turn one score into a decision. Save the reports and revisit.
The score is a systematic, rule-weighted calculation across 12 criteria. AI helps write the plain-English explanation, it does not set the number.
Every completed score lists the exact data sources it used, so you can check the evidence behind the number.
