“Our investment in app technology has been delivering great dividends. Consumers are continuing to seek out our app and a recent survey has shown that more Australians are using our app than any other property app,” he said.

“Our consumers are being rewarded with new experiences, such as Suggested Properties — which casts the search net wider by recommending properties which have similar features to those considered in their previous searches,” he said.

Mr Rechtman added that the Suggested Properties tool it another way the group is seeking to drive the “critical connections” which can link a potential buyer with their next property.

“While this is a great achievement for us, the end goal is to continue to provide the best property search experience on the market,” he said.

“In 2016 you’ll see even more innovation as 3D and virtual reality become mainstream and increased personalisation makes it easier to access relevant information,” he said.
