House-hunting in Auckland, scored and shared
Auckland's villas, units and new builds sprawl across a city of harbours and volcanic hills, with prices to match. Scoring each place the same way is how you compare a Ponsonby villa against a Takapuna apartment without losing the thread.
Compare Auckland homes on what matters to you
Whether you're weighing up Ponsonby, Mount Eden, Grey Lynn or anywhere else around Auckland, the hard part is the same: too many listings, not enough clarity. Groundwork lets you score each place against your own priorities and ranks the shortlist automatically — so the standouts rise to the top instead of getting lost in a tab graveyard.
A local angle worth scoring
Sun aspect, and whether a home dates from the leaky-building era, deserve real weight in an Auckland search — score the things a glossy listing won't tell you.
