Finding the right location is just as important as finding the right home. That’s why we’ve completely upgraded the OpenLot map experience.
The new map search gives buyers a clearer view of each property’s surroundings while creating more opportunities for your projects, listings and brand to be discovered.
What’s New?
More local information
Buyers can now explore nearby schools, public transport, parks, shopping centres, cafés and other essential amenities directly through the map.
This additional context helps buyers understand what it would be like to live in the area and make more informed property decisions.
Search by growth corridor or council area
Buyers can search by growth corridor or council area, making it easier to discover more projects within their preferred locations.
This expands the property-search experience beyond individual suburbs and helps buyers explore suitable opportunities across broader areas.
Greater brand visibility
Upgraded price and logo pins give your brand and listings more prominence throughout the map-search experience.
Clearer branding makes it easier for buyers to identify your projects while comparing available properties across different locations.
A Better View: Improved Builder Search
We’ve also improved the house and land package search experience.
Buyers can now view available house and land packages from each builder through one convenient search, eliminating the need to browse through hundreds of similar options individually.
Dedicated builder card tiers
New builder card tiers are designed to maximise brand exposure and create more opportunities for qualified leads.
Branded house and land package groups
House and land packages are now grouped under branded builder cards, providing buyers with a clearer and more organised way to explore each builder’s available options.
Increased visibility throughout the buyer journey
Builder branding is featured more prominently across the search experience, helping buyers recognise and engage with your brand while comparing packages.
Other New Features
Sales Office Opening Hours
You can now display your sales office opening hours on your estate page.
This gives buyers the information they need to plan a visit and request a meeting with your sales team.
AI Project Summaries
Every listing now includes a concise, AI-generated overview based on your project information and nearby amenities.
These summaries give buyers a quick and accessible introduction to each project while highlighting important location and lifestyle benefits.
What’s Next?
The more complete your listing is, the better it can perform.
To maximise visibility and engagement across OpenLot:
- Keep property availability up to date
