Homely Named Finalist in Dual National Innovation Awards, Redefining How Australians Search For Property

Homely.com.au has been announced as a finalist in two of the nation’s most prestigious innovation awards: a recent real estate Innovation awards and the Finder Innovation Awards People’s Choice Award. 

This dual recognition cements Homely’s reputation as one of Australia’s most forward-thinking real estate platforms, transforming how millions of Australians search for property.

At the heart of this success is Homely’s Street and Suburb Review ecosystem, the largest collection of street and suburb reviews, as well as local Q&A in Australian real estate. 

By combining street-level insights, suburb reviews and community Q&As, Homely gives property seekers what no other portal can: a genuine view of what it’s like to live somewhere.

The result is a richer, more human property journey – one that turns listings into lifestyle stories and helps buyers and renters move with confidence. 

Homely has also redefined how agents and vendors connect with audiences. Innovations such as vendor reviews give sellers a powerful voice and build trust at scale, while driving measurable performance gains for agents.

These features deliver premium value without premium cost, proving that innovation can benefit the entire market. 

“Homely has always believed that property search should go beyond square metres and price tags,” said Jason Spencer, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Homely.

“We are building a platform where local voices shape the search experience and where agents can amplify 

their listings in ways no other portal allows. These nominations recognise the years of innovation and relentless focus on reimagining what real estate search should be.” 

The People’s Choice categories in Finder’s Innovation Awards celebrate companies that are making a real impact for Australians.

Industry awards honour the game changers of real estate and those redefining performance, technology and service. 

With unmatched user-generated content, proprietary data, and tools designed to empower both consumers and professionals, Homely is reshaping the competitive landscape of Australian real estate – and setting a new benchmark for innovation.
