Ordus Property VS GitHub Surf

Ordus Property's answer

Within seconds of opening the terminal, Ordus lets you chart any suburb, LGA or postcode, compare them against each other and a chosen benchmark, and overlay macroeconomic factors and market indicators — all the fundamental and technical information you need to understand a property market, on one screen.

From there you can search, rank and screen suburbs to find the ones that meet your criteria, connect with local experts in those markets, and research specific property pricing in the My Property section.

What makes Ordus unique is that it brings market intelligence, suburb screening, on-the-ground know-how and personal wealth tracking together in one visually pleasing terminal- for free.

Ordus Property's answer

Because Ordus gives you for free what the incumbents charge $80–200/month to half-show you. CoreLogic and Microburbs paywall pre-aggregated estimates; the listing portals bury suburb stats under ads. Ordus puts the raw government data — every NSW sale back to 1990 — on a chart you can actually explore: rank 8,000+ suburbs by yield, growth, days-on-market and 60+ metrics, estimate a property from street-level comparables, and lay macro signals like the RBA cash rate straight over the price line. The same data the professionals use, charted properly, no paywall.

Ordus runs on free-tier, edge-first infrastructure: Cloudflare Pages and a global CDN serve the terminal, with Pages Functions + D1 handling sign-in. The real engineering is the data layer — an automated Python pipeline that ingests and cleans primary sales records (NSW Valuer General) and market data into one consistent dataset, with settlement-lag filtering, smoothing and outlier rejection so the numbers are honest. It refreshes on a schedule to stay current and is built to extend state by state as Ordus rolls out nationally. The front-end is a fast, self-contained HTML/JavaScript terminal with client-side charting — no heavy backend; the hard work is in the data.

Ordus Property's answer

Anyone who wants to understand a property market, not just scroll listings. Property investors hunting their next suburb, buyers' agents and mortgage brokers doing client research, and homeowners checking what their street is really worth. Ordus is built investor- and professional-first — the same way trading terminals serve stock investors, not casual browsers.

Ordus Property's answer

One day I went looking for a way to clearly show a client how interest rates had affected property prices historically — something to give comfort about future uncertainty. I couldn't find one. That got me thinking: why? The data is there, and as a property professional I had paid access to every tool on the market — yet none of them offered this. So I started building Ordus — NSW today, the rest of the country next.
