Have you spent countless hours searching, sorting and analysing vast amounts of property information for your target property? Don’t know where to start and find them? Worry no more! We understand that more helpful data means more chances of realising your prospect properties and powering up your research. This is the main reason why we’ve gathered this just for you to make sure you’ll have everything in one software.
Updated October 2026: Boomscore is no longer shown in the standard Stash app. The Boomscore card on property details and the Boomscore scores in Search Area have been retired. To research and rank suburbs in Stash today, use Find Suburbs (Hotspots) in the side menu. The steps below show how it works.
What is Boomscore and how does it work?
Boomscore is a suburb score built on demand versus supply. Higher scores suggest suburbs more likely to see strong capital growth. Boomscore is its own product, with its own Hotspot Finder, Suburb Profiler and Market Alerts tools, at boomscore.com.au. This post explains what the 2022 integration did and where to find suburb research inside Stash now.
When it launched, this integration gave you access to check the market of your target property and if it’s a good area for you to invest in and for any future developments. Boomscore is also one of the smartest ways to find and monitor the hottest investment opportunities and locations in Australia.
Real estate investors should never purchase a property without conducting a thorough and detailed market analysis. Although the process of researching the location, the local market, and the larger economic influences on the population and property is time-consuming, its importance should never be overlooked.
We know that determining the area of your target property is more than just finding the lot boundaries. That is still true, and in Stash the place to start your suburb research and ranking today is Find Suburbs.
How to research and rank suburbs in Stash today
Find Suburbs (Hotspots) ranks suburbs across Australia against the measures investors care about, such as growth, rental yield, vacancy, market absorption and days on market.
- Log in to your Stash Property account and choose Find Suburbs in the side menu.
- Choose a State and a Property Type, and optionally a council and a Median Price range. You can start from one of the Strategy Presets.
- Move the sliders under Market Performance, Investment & Yield, Demographics & Social and Location to match your brief. Hover over the question mark icon next to any measure to see what it means.
- Click the SEARCH button to see the matching suburbs, then click the magnifying glass on a suburb to look at what is On Market or to Search All Properties there.
For the full walkthrough, see Hotspots: find investment-ready suburbs, and for what each measure means, the Stash data dictionary.
How Boomscore worked in Stash 3.0 (2022)
For reference, here is how the original integration appeared. These screens are no longer in the app.
Boomscore in Search Area
- You logged in to your Stash Property account.
- You then searched by clicking the ‘Search Area’ option on the left hand side menu bar under Locate Sites.
- You entered your criteria, including the Suburb, Zone, Area and Street Frontage (optional), then hit Search to get your results. Today, the same kind of site search lives under Search all properties in the side menu (see Find development sites).
- The results showed a House and Unit Boomscore for the suburb, with a question mark icon explaining each score.
Boomscore in Property Details
- You logged in to your Stash Property account.
- You selected a property from the map or from your stashed properties under ‘My Properties’ (now called Property Pipeline). The Boomscore section sat below the owner’s name and address, with a circular graph next to it. The question mark icon revealed the description of the score provided by Boomscore.
Suburb research is still a core part of Stash, now through Find Suburbs, suburb profiles and on-market and off-market search.
