For almost 12 years, Pyrmont was home to our Sydney team, so there's a real sense of excitement as we settle into CoStar Group's new home at Parkline Place. Over the past few days, our teams have been getting to know their new surroundings, discovering local favourites, enjoying the views, and making the most of being right in the heart of the city. We can't wait to welcome our customers and partners through the doors and show them around. 🏢💚

Today, Jason Pellegrino joined the The Australian Financial Review Property Summit to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing the property market: confidence. Whether it's a family buying their first home, a developer assessing feasibility, a lender allocating capital or an institutional investor considering Australia, better decisions start with better information. As AI transforms the property industry, the real differentiator will be the quality of the data behind it. That's why CoStar Group we are investing in the people who create it. This year alone, we've added more than 250 people across Australia, including 54 drone pilots and photographers, captured more than 150,000 images and loaded more than 30,000 commercial properties as our property intelligence capability continues to grow. Better data creates greater transparency. Greater transparency builds confidence. And confidence helps attract the capital needed to unlock new housing supply and drive investment across both residential and commercial property. Residential and commercial property have never been more connected. The future of Australia's property market will be shaped by the quality of information available and the confidence to act on it.

The Block 2026 listings are exclusively live on Domain, and you’ve never seen them like this before 🏠✨ For the first time in Block history, you can step inside the homes and explore the rooms in immersive 3D. 👀 Check out the listings: https://lnkd.in/e26J8RX6

Open homes. Anytime, anywhere. 👀 Our new campaign, The Open Home That’s Always Open, showcases Domain’s Matterport-powered immersive 3D property tours, giving buyers the freedom to explore a home whenever and wherever it suits them. Bringing our distinctive sense of humour to life, the campaign shows how buyers can virtually drop into properties on their own schedule, taking precise measurements, removing furniture with a click, exploring a home's flow and revisiting a property as many times as they need before making one of life's biggest decisions. The experience helps buyers explore with greater confidence, while giving agents a compelling new way to showcase listings and engage potential buyers beyond the traditional open home.

We're excited to bring Matterport's immersive 3D technology to one of Australia's most influential property and renovation programs, The Block. This season, viewers won't just watch the homes take shape - they'll be able to step inside and explore every space through immersive 3D tours in the Domain app as each room is revealed. For agents, it's another example of how property marketing continues to evolve. As consumer expectations shift, immersive experiences are playing an increasingly important role in engaging buyers, driving deeper property exploration and helping listings stand out. The initiative forms part of our expanded partnership with Nine, bringing together our property expertise, insights and technology with the scale and reach of Australia's leading news, sport and entertainment brands.

Property search is changing, and it’s now happening on Domain. As immersive 3D tours roll out across Domain at scale, buyers can explore homes in greater detail from wherever they are, while agents have a powerful new way to bring listings to life. Buxton Real Estate Group Port Phillip agent Nancy Yang recently paired a Domain Platinum Edge listing with this immersive technology and generated almost 100 warm buyer leads for a converted warehouse apartment in Melbourne’s Southbank. Powered by CoStar Group's Matterport technology, these richer property experiences are helping buyers better understand a home before they inspect and supporting stronger engagement throughout a campaign. 🔗 Read Nancy's story: https://lnkd.in/eFEHN5sW

House prices are falling in some parts of the country, but what does history tell us happens next? Our latest analysis of 30 years of Australian housing market cycles found a consistent pattern: every downturn has been followed by a recovery that pushed prices to new highs. Domain's Chief Residential Economist Nicola Powell say's it’s a reminder that housing markets are shaped by more than any single factor, with interest rates, borrowing capacity, supply and confidence consistently driving outcomes across different policy and economic environments.

Earlier this month, we were fortunate to host Anna Brown OAM as part of a special #PrideMonth series at Domain and CoStar Group. Anna shared her many reflections on leading Australia's marriage equality campaign, and what it took to keep momentum going through challenge and pushback. It was a great reminder that real change doesn’t stop at the milestone, and that being an ally means continuing to show up, fostering support, and championing inclusion and respect for all. #PrideMonth #LifeatDomain

New AML/CTF regulations come into effect this week, bringing real estate professionals into Australia’s anti-money laundering framework for the first time. For agents, this introduces new requirements around identity verification, customer due diligence, risk assessments and ongoing monitoring. While it adds new layers of compliance, it’s also a positive step toward greater transparency and accountability across the property market.
