The ad said “walk to the station”.
It was 18 minutes, uphill, and the trains were full by the time they reached you.

Why you need it
Sound familiar?
You loved it on Saturday.
Then you tried the drive to work on a Monday morning. Seventy minutes.
A month after you moved in, the notice went up next door.
Six storeys. It had been on the council's website the whole time.
You found the house.
Then found it was one street outside the school zone.
Sagashi checks the homes agents list on their own websites.
It does the homework a buyer's agent would, on every one. Keep the searches you already have: send Sagashi your alerts too.

Why I built Sagashi
Every family looks for something different.
I wanted to know how I'd get to work, whether there was good food nearby, and what was about to go up next door. For my family, not for the average buyer. So I built Sagashi.

For families
Know the school zone before you inspect.
- School zones, as a filter. Name the public schools you need, and homes outside their zones are ruled out. You also see the nearest selective, Catholic and independent schools. Zones can change, so confirm with the school.
- Childcare in the suburb, each service with the rating the regulator gave it.
- Who lives on the street, against Sydney, and crime recorded by police over five years, beside NSW. Facts, never a verdict.

FAQ
Good to know.
Sydney only
No flood check yet
Do I need property alerts?
No. Sagashi checks agents' own listings for you. If you already get alerts from realestate.com.au or Domain, add your Sagashi address and they're checked too.
What does Sagashi read?
Your property alerts, and homes agents list on their own websites. Nothing else.
Do I have to answer everything?
No. But the more you tell it, the more it can rule out.
Where's the data from?
Public data: NSW planning maps, the Planning Portal, the Department of Education, the Census and police records, plus Google. Each is listed on the Data sources page.
Does it rank schools?
No. It tells you which public school zones a home is in, and the facts the Department of Education publishes. Results are on My School.
Is it a safe suburb?
Sagashi shows crime recorded by police over five years, beside NSW, and leaves the call to you.
