PropertyDrop

When a seller drops their asking price, they're telling you something. They want

out. In the US, Redfin and Zillow let you filter for that in one click. In

Australia, nobody does. Domain and realestate.com.au stamp a "reduced" badge on a

single listing, but there's no way to see every cut across a suburb, or to track

them over time.

PropertyDrop is that missing view. It watches the major listings every day,

records each property's price, and flags the moment one falls. Every drop across

twenty suburbs in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, in one searchable place. For a

property investor or a buyer's agent, a price cut is the strongest public signal

of a motivated seller, and this is the one place that surfaces them all.

suburb. The scrapes run asynchronously and call back when they finish, so the

pipeline sidesteps the usual serverless timeout no matter how many suburbs it

covers. Each result is checked against the last known price for that listing. If

today's price is lower, that's a drop, and it lands on the site and in

subscribers' inboxes.

The heart of it is an append-only price history. Every listing's price is

snapshotted over time, so detecting a drop is simple: today's number against the

stored one. The longer it runs, the deeper that history gets, and the more it can

tell you about a street, a building, or a single stubborn vendor.

rest of the table is gated on the server, so the addresses and prices behind the

paywall never leave the database until you sign in and go Pro. From there it's a

one-time suburb report, or a subscription that opens every drop, every address,

and daily email alerts tuned to your suburbs.

magic-link auth, Stripe for payments, and Resend for the alert emails. The

scraping runs through a managed actor on a daily cron.
