House-hunting in Sydney, scored and shared
In Sydney, every property is a trade-off between price, space and how long you'll spend getting anywhere. With a market this competitive and this expensive, a clear-eyed score per dollar is the difference between a confident offer and an expensive regret.
Compare Sydney homes on what matters to you
Whether you're weighing up Marrickville, Newtown, Ryde or anywhere else around Sydney, 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
Value-for-money scoring earns its keep in Sydney — when prices stretch, seeing score per $100k stops a marginal upgrade from costing a fortune.
