✦ Who we are

Independent data for
Melbourne buyers

NestScout is a free property research tool built for Melbourne home buyers. No agents, no commissions, no bias — just official government data presented clearly so you can make informed decisions.

Why we built this

Buying property in Melbourne is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make — yet the data most buyers rely on comes from platforms with a commercial interest in the sale happening.

NestScout was built to change that. We pull directly from the Victorian Valuer-General's quarterly reports and publish the numbers without spin. No agent ranking, no "estimated value" that nudges you upward, no lead capture hidden behind a paywall.

If you can see what a suburb actually sold for last quarter, you're a better buyer.

What you get

Every suburb in greater Melbourne with at least three sales — median house, unit and land prices, quarterly and annual change, 10-year trend charts, nearby schools rated by Google users, and public transport stops.

Data is updated each quarter as soon as the VGV report is published. Everything is free. No account required.
