    Might be best to find the threads where the subscriptions are done and ask directly.

    Not to discourage, but how many thing RP data is so reliable. One of my properties, RP valuation 10% lower than my buy price 2 years ago. It was even renovated. CBA valuation 20% higher than my buy price. I can easily sell property 30% higher than what I bought. So literally RP data was 40% lower?? Similar thing I observed from other properties too. Is it worth for 2k subscription??

    Hi Jana,

    Any automated valuation service, you have to take it with a pinch of salt. ANZ also provides free desktop valuation i have read somewhere.

    I want to use rpdata mainly for sales history and zoning information.

    No, not if you only want it for auto- Val’s. But many use it for ownership details, rental history, sales history, for sale history, land dimensions, zoning etc.

    I have a pro subscription until September 2019 if anyone is keen to share I'm happy to go 50/50 or less if there is more people on a pro-rata'd basis.

    I have a sub and mostly use it for sales history. But for zoning info I just use council mapping

    Agreed, the zoning can be outdated in rpdata so I always use the council maps too.
    For me the ability to see how long a listing has been on the market, what price drops for the listing have occured, how much the owners paid and what people have paid/sold in the surrounding areas is what I use Rpdata for.
    It's valuations are a somewhat useful tool if you use the right comparables, however if what you are valuing/selling is unique or rarely sold then comparables don't exist and the autoval tool will not generate a terribly accurate answer.

    All these can be found elsewhere for nothing except ownership details

    Surely you can buy the $150/month sub and divide between say 5 people for $30/month

    Use the same login ect

    Do they allow on different IP addresses

    realestate.com.au sources data from corelogic. May not have complete history but good enough for quick searches.

    sure you can do this. it is called stealing.

    As mentioned by @Propertunity there are many tools and uses inside the software and when you know how to use them all you will understand the true value of it.

    The automated CMA tools are as good as the user. A quick auto report generated with no customisation is better than the free ones on the market but still far from perfect.

    The reason Valuers still have a job is that you need to dive into the comparable sales in more detail and actually compare them, remove the least comparable ones altogether and mark the remaining ones as same, better or worse than the subject property. Once you have done a few hundred (or even better a few thousand) you will know how to value up a property very quickly within a small range.
