Former dotcom entrepreneur Evan Thornley is using data to turn long-held myths in Australia’s real estate industry – including where best to buy to get the most capital growth – on their head.
The search engine pioneer is hardly visionary in identifying Australian capital city real estate as a red-hot investment, but the LookSmart founder reckons his latest venture is out on its own trying to turn the property businesses from art into science.
Mr Thornley says the data science team he has assembled at his property management and advisory outfit, LongView, has run the numbers on the sales histories of all 2.4 million of Melbourne’s residential properties, and some of their findings are challenging the real estate orthodoxy.

Halcyon Greens was recognised last week as the first lifestyle community to be a dual finalist at the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Awards for Excellence, reaching the final stages in the Seniors’ Living and Master Planned Development categories.
Designed by Brian Toyota, the community is located on a 34ha island on the Gold Coast, and is masterplanned for almost 1000 residents across five residential precincts, which are connected to a central 2.8ha green spine that houses the recreation and leisure precinct.
Despite not winning any categories, Halcyon Managing Director Dr Bevan Geissman says the community gaining recognition for its efforts is a win in itself.
