.id partners with Archistar to deliver population and housing forecasts to property researchers

Andrew Hedge 20 Nov, 2024

We're excited to announce a new partnership with Archistar that will bring forecasts from .id's National Forecasting Program directly to their property development platform. Through this integration, Archistar users can now access SA2-level forecast data for population and dwelling changes across Australia for the next five years (2024 to 2029).

Haven't heard of Archistar? Here's a quick intro.

Archistar is a property technology platform that simplifies the planning and development process. It combines architectural design tools, planning regulations and property data in one place, using AI and 3D design technology to help users assess and design development sites. The platform is used by property developers, architects, real estate agents and local governments across Australia to streamline their research and decision-making processes.

Forecasts to enhace property analysis

The integration of forecasts from .id's National Forecasting Program into Archistar's platform allows users to combine demographic projections with site-specific information, enabling more comprehensive property analysis.

Through Archistar, users can:

Identify high-growth locations by overlaying demographic forecasts with property data
Compare growth potential across different SA2 regions
Assess the broader market context for development opportunities
Support initial feasibility studies with reliable population projections
Fast-track preliminary market analysis with ready-to-use forecast data

Users of the Archistar platform can now access information from .id's National Forecasting Program

Including forecasts of population change for any SA2 in Australia over the next five years.

And forecasts for the change in dwellings in any area over the next five years.
