How do saved search alerts work in the realestate.com.au app?
You set up a search with your specific criteria, like price range, property type, and suburbs. The app then sends you instant push notifications whenever a new matching listing goes live, so you can be among the first to book an inspection.
Can I use the map search to explore neighborhoods before visiting a property?
Yes, the map search lets you drop a pin on any suburb and use street view to virtually walk around. This helps you check for nearby parks, public transport, and the general look of the area before you commit to an inspection.
Why did my saved properties disappear after an app update, and how can I prevent it?
This is a known bug that can happen after an update, where your saved list resets. To prevent losing your data, make sure you're logged into an account and check that your app is set to auto-sync; you can also export your shortlist as a backup if needed.
The land size filter seems unreliable—it sometimes excludes properties that fit my criteria. What should I do?
This is a common glitch where the filter doesn't always apply correctly. As a workaround, try using a broader land size range or skip the filter entirely, then manually scan the property details for the exact land size you need.
How does the realestate.com.au app compare to Domain for finding a home in Australia?
Both apps are free and offer similar core features, but realestate.com.au tends to have more listings overall and faster notification alerts. Domain often has a cleaner interface and better suburb review data, so it's worth using both to cover more ground.
