version 8.18.0

With this update, all photos are now both better quality and quicker to load throughout the app. We've also improved the way median prices are calculated for each suburb, helping you estimate property prices more accurately.
Lastly, we've fixed a few bugs, improved the security of your personal data and made a number of minor improvements to our user interface for improved usability. Enjoy!

version 8.17.1

In this update, we've released "My Activity" screen which shows you the properties you have viewed, watchlisted, enquired about or inspected.
You can now also take notes about a particular property, to help you compare and keep track of what you like or don't like about each.
Lastly, we've made a number of minor improvements to My Followed properties, the design of the auction and inspection sections as well as the property cards shown throughout the app.

version 8.16.0

In this update, we've released "My Followed Property," a feature that allows you to track property that you live in, own as an investment, are renting or just curious about.

Simply follow a property, and get notified each month with market activity and insights. Go ahead, give it a try! Visit the "My Followed Property" section and start following some properties.

version 8.15.1

In this update, we've prioritized visual understanding with new icons that convey important home details. We've also optimized performance for faster loading and an improved overall experience, all driven by behind-the-scenes improvements.

version 8.14.0

We're thrilled to introduce our latest update to the app, bringing you a powerful new way to discover your ideal property.

With our enhanced Search Locations feature, you're in control like never before. Filter locations based on type such as location, address, school or development name.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and we've taken this to heart. We have introduced a new set of icons that are used throughout the app.

version 8.13.1

Hi there. It's me, your internet connected toaster. Did you know that the Allhomes app now includes nbn® connectivity information on listings?

Just keep your eyes peeled for properties connected to the nbn® access network when your browsing Allhomes. The wifi robot vacuum and I will be grateful!

version 8.12.0

We've been working hard to give you more insights about property values. When searching on the map you can now see properties that have recenlty sold, which helps you gauge the price of properties for sale.

And, despite everywhere in Canberra being a 20 minute drive from everywhere else, the duration of your commute is a key consideration when finding a home. You can now enter your common travel destinations and we will now tell how how long it'll take to get there from your new home.

version 8.11.0

We've been working hard to give you more insights about the value of a property you're considering. We've added a new section to each listing which shows you nearby properties that have recently sold, giving you a sense of local market activity.

The suburb profiles and past sales section (in the More screen) has millions of past sales records and market insights.

The Insights screen (look for the "Insights" button on the map search) gives you an overview of the market over the last 12 months.

version 8.10.1

The property market can be a jungle, but the news and editorial content from Allhomes is your trusty machete! Head to the "More" screen to find exclusive editorial content from our local Canberra team covering the Australian property market – from buying and selling tips to the latest industry news. Build your confidence and navigate the wilderness with ease.

version 7.16.6

We've added support for Vimeo videos in this release. So kick back, pop a pair of headphones in, and get ready to binge watch property videos!

version 7.16.5

We've added new support for properties that have online auctions. Check the listing details page for information about how to register to bid and participate in an online auction

version 7.16.4

version 7.16.2

You wake up late for school, man you don't want to go
You ask you mom, please? But she still says no
You missed two busses and no scooters
Now you’re stuck on the tram packed full of commuters

Your pops caught you driving, and he says, No way
That hypocrite works two blocks away
Man living far from school is such a drag
Now your starting to think you might as well just wag

You gotta fight for your right to use Allhomes new school search to find a home that’s in your preferred school catchment

version 7.15.3

Did you know that email has been around since the 1970s? You're not still using that ancient technology to help you find a home, are you? Oh... Oh my!

Don't worry, our lips are sealed. And to make sure this embarrassing moment doesn't repeat itself, you now have the ability to receive push notifications every time a property hits the market for sale or rent that matches one of your property alerts. Check your in-app notification settings to opt in. I'm glad we had this little chat.

version 7.14.3

Despite the cold weather, the ACT property market is fiery hot! Jump in and find your perfect home on Allhomes.

We made a few design improvements throughout the app to make the typography and layout a bit more friendly. Hope you enjoy!

version 7.13.0

Want to know about properties that tick all your boxes before they're listed publicly? By setting up property alerts with Allhomes, you can now be notified when an agent has a property coming to market that matches your criteria, so you can reach out to them at the earliest opportunity. Allhomes members can see, inspect, and even make an offer before other buyers. Just tap the bell icon next to the search bar to save your search and set up an alert. We'll keep an eye out for you.

version 7.12.1

We fixed an issue which stopped our photo gallery from working in landscape mode on some devices. How absurd! Landscape is obviously the superior orientation for viewing photos. Thanks to Dave for bringing it to our attention. We owe ya one :)

version 7.11.1

For those of you who are new to Allhomes, c'mon in and make yourselves at home! We've introduced a few tips to help you get started on your property journey. We also took advantage of the quiet period before Christmas to tidy things up a bit. You know, make them nice and neat. We hope you enjoy!

version 7.9.5

You look at reviews before you buy a pair of socks online. You won’t watch a movie unless it’s been recommended to you, either by a friend or by an algorithm that knows you a little too well.

Now you can get recommendations from RateMyAgent on Allhomes. Hear from real people about their experiences with a real estate agent so you can be confident you’re making the right choice.

Unlike those questionable socks you bought. You really should have known better.

version 7.8.0

How does the saying go, "The early bird gets the worm"?

That's not all... One particularly savvy bird created a property alert on Allhomes with all the right filters. Before the property was listed, that bird got an Early Access alert which gave it the chance to inspect and make an offer before other buyers.

Now, that bird and its little bird family are having a lovely worm roast in their dream house.

With Allhomes Early Access alerts you can be an early bird, too!

version 7.7.0

Spring has sprung, which presents Canberrans with two problems: fending off swooping magpies while riding their bikes, and confidently navigating the bustling spring property market. While we can't legally claim the Allhomes app will deter magpies, it won't not do that either.

What we can do is give you easy access to past sold prices and photos of properties to help you search, inspect, and make your decisions with confidence. Excelsior!

version 7.6.1

How many emails have you received from companies that start with "In these uncertain times"? Well, we don't mince words here at Allhomes. We know the times are uncertain. No point dwelling on it. What we can do is give you the information you need to be confident, safe, and informed in these un... Un...sure? Un...settled? Unpredictable! In these 'unpredictable' times. Each listing now has additional information about what restrictions, if any, are in place on open home inspections and auctions.

version 7.5.1

You know the drill:
- Performance improvements: check
- Bug fixes: check
- Introducing easter eggs: check
- Completely re-designing the listing details screen behind the scenes while hopefully not breaking anything critical (fingers crossed!): check
- Fixing typoes: check
- Showing the full number of properties that match your search: check
- Sending virtual hugs to all our users for being awesome people: check
Excelsior!

version 7.4.1

Now that open inspections and in-person auctions are on the cards (with limitations), you have lots of options for how to inspect a property you're interested in.

Open inspections, private in-person inspections, and virtual online inspections are supported in this version of the Allhomes app. We've also extended support for on site, online, and mixed (on site + online) auctions.

If in doubt, speak to the agent for a property to understand your options and what limitations are in place.

version 7.3.4

Google Maps was causing the app to crash at times, which was really inconvenient when you're trying to do something like look at a map. We fixed the glitch.

version 7.3.3

Things are changing quickly, and we are working hard to support our community with features that will support them through the difficult months ahead.
While open house inspections and in-person auctions are currently not permitted, we’ve made it easier for you to reach out to the agent to request and book a private inspection.
We’ve also made it easier to register and request information for online auctions right from the listing.

version 7.3.0

Property inspections are still happening. While open house inspections and in-person auctions are currently not permitted, you can reach out to the agent to request a private inspection.
Look out for new features soon that will allow you to easily enquire about and register for private inspections and online auctions.

version 7.2.0

Once upon a weekend open, while I pondered “is that skylight broken?”
Suddenly I was interrupted-

“What a lovely kitchen! Note that down in the Allhomes app!”

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
“Perhaps,” said I, “my Allhomes app needs updating!”
Now my eyes have all the gleaming of a first-home-buyer that is dreaming,
Typing notes, my face is beaming as I throw my pencil on the floor;
And my pencil, now retired, lying motionless on the floor
Shall be lifted-nevermore!

version 7.1.0

Suburb searches are so 2019. In addition to being the Year of the Rat, 2020 is all about knowing exactly what you want, right down to the street. Do you want to live on Williams Street in Watson? Type that into the search bar and see what's available (spoiler alert, it's charming!). How about Williamson Street in Holder? Sure, why not. We're not here to judge. Prefer searching by postcode? You've come to the right place!

version 7.0.0

In some cultures, the number 7 is considered to be a lucky number. Here at Allhomes we're pretty confident that version 7 of our Android app could be our luckiest version yet. Insofar as luck is quantifiable, which it isn't, our internal luckologists guestimate a two-fold increase in luck-based outcomes for people using version 7 versus any other version of Allhomes. Don't believe me? You're right not to. But you should download the upgrade anyway.

version 6.14.1

Is this the best version of Allhomes we've ever released? Look, we're not ones to toot our own horn; that would be terribly uncouth of us. However, we're also not ones for rhetorical questions and that didn't stop us from asking one at the beginning of these release notes. Honestly, I'm just happy to be here writing these updates again. I've missed you guys! From all of us at Allhomes: enjoy version 6.14. We worked hard on it and we hope you like it.

version 6.13.3

Dear Santa, I've been really good this year: I brush my teeth twice a day, I lie about flossing so I don't hurt my dentist's feelings, and I always help little old ladies cross the street. All I want for Christmas is to be reminded about the inspections I'm going to. I love looking at photos and re-reading descriptions, but sometimes I don't remember until it's too late! The planner on Allhomes is great, but reminders would make it that much better. Sincerely, People Looking For Houses.

version 6.13.1

We've updated the app, and checked it twice
Fixed a few bugs and made it look nice
An Allhomes update is coming to town

version 6.12.1

Just about the only thing Canberrans love more than quietly judging people based on which side of the lake they live on is sinking their teeth into the weekend's auction results. We can now notify you as soon as Saturday's auction results come in for the ACT. Just give us the O.K.

version 6.11.0

Want more photos of a property you found in the Allhomes magazine? Introducing Scan & Find! Just point your phone's camera at an address and you'll be taken straight to the property details where you find inspection times, see the block size, and get in contact with the real estate agent. Not as clumsy or as random as using your thumbs to type, but an elegant search tool for a more civilised age.

version 6.10.1

We all have that friend. You know the one: insisting you try some amazing new flavour of kombucha, bragging about the new limited release, art house film they just watched, and always first in line at the trendy new restaurant in town.

Now you can be one step ahead of them! At least when it comes to finding your new house, that is. Be the first to hear about new properties for sale or rent by creating a property alert based on your specific criteria. Just sit back and we'll do the work for you!

version 6.9.0

Thanks for using Allhomes, we appreciate your loyalty.
Home loans and finding out what you can afford is complicated. In this release, we've tried to make it easier by introducing a repayments calculator and a way to search, compare, choose and settle on a home loan.
We've also made a few bug fixes and stability enhancements. Enjoy!
