The first alpha release of RentScraper.
Rent scraper is an open source tool for residential real estate rental business analytics.
Are you a:
- property investor looking to optimise your return?
- property manager looking to provide the best returns for your clients?
- tenant looking to propose reasonable rents in light of market conditions?
If you answered yes to any of the above, RentScraper provides a solution to your problems.
Current basic functionality:
User input of:
- suburb
- postcode
- bedrooms
- bathrooms
- how far back to search
- current rent
- proposed rent
Results of queries will be plotted in four forms:
- Boxplots of weekly rent by month to illustrate market trends
- Histogram of weekly rents over the last three months to show the distribution of recent weekly rental amounts (aka "current market conditions").
- A table of rental properties and their details.
- A map showing where these properties are.
Known issues:
- Map rendering is slow due to the free geocoding algorithm.
- UI currently does not allow users to specify a date range
