How Hotplots works

A clearer path from the market to a shortlist.

Hotplots turns a large property market into a guided investigation. Each step helps you remove noise, understand the evidence and decide what to investigate next.

01Opportunity list

Discover

Start with a ranked list of properties that may have development potential. Each card gives you the essentials without making you open every listing.

  • See price, land area, suburb and property type at a glance
  • Use simple labels such as Strong, Good or Moderate
  • Read a short AI summary of the main opportunity and concern
  • Sort the market by development potential instead of listing date

03A consistent comparison

Understand the score

Every opportunity is assessed through the same scoring framework. The overall score helps you compare sites, while the breakdown explains where that score came from.

  • Compare land, development, market, infrastructure and risk
  • See strengths and weaknesses instead of relying on one number
  • Identify strong sites that still have a critical warning
  • Use the score as a starting point for investigation, not a guarantee

Inspect the opportunity

Open a property to understand why it ranked well and what could stop the project. Hotplots organises the evidence into plain sections that are easy to scan.

  • Review development potential and site characteristics
  • Check stormwater, wastewater and water distances
  • See council values, market information and property dimensions
  • Separate the positive signals from the issues that need attention

The AI analysis brings the available signals together into a readable development summary. It explains the opportunity, the financial logic and the risks in everyday language.

  • Understand why the site could work
  • See likely cost or consent issues before deeper due diligence
  • Review a clear watch-out section and an action-oriented verdict
  • Use the analysis to prepare better questions for your advisers
Plain-language reasoning

AI Development Analysis

A well-priced site with strong potential, but the title issue needs attention.

The opportunity

A large, flat site in a high-density zone with a motivated vendor.

Why it works

Strong zoning, good dimensions and nearby infrastructure.

Watch out

Confirm the title and road requirements before spending on design.

VERDICT: INVESTIGATE

The numbers are promising. Ask a lawyer to review the title first.

  • See ranked opportunities across the selected market
  • Open compact property cards directly from map markers
  • Keep a shortlist visible while exploring the surrounding area
  • Move from a city overview to satellite property context

Reading the score

Five signals, one clearer comparison.

The overall number is useful, but the categories are what make it understandable. Hotplots shows where a property is strong and where more investigation is needed.

65

Land

Size, shape, slope and usable site area.

50

Development

Zone rules and the site's development potential.

78

Market

Price, demand and time on the market.

100

Infrastructure

Access to water, wastewater and stormwater.

20

Risk

Constraints that may add cost, delay or complexity.

A high score does not mean a property is guaranteed to work. It means the available signals make it worth investigating further with the right professional advice.

Useful before you spend heavily.

Hotplots is an early discovery and screening tool. It helps buyers, developers and advisers focus their attention, but it does not replace legal, planning, engineering, valuation or financial advice.

Price context

Compare asking price, council values and land metrics.

Service context

See indicative distances to key infrastructure.

Market context

Understand demand, listing time and price signals.

Location context

Explore opportunities in list, map and satellite views.
