Casa Daily vs REA saved searches
REA's saved-search alerts are the default first move for any property investor, and they're free. Casa Daily isn't a replacement for REA — we read the same listings. The difference is what we add: a 0-100 development score, the binding planning constraint, comparable approvals nearby, and the answer to 'is this site even worth my Saturday?'.
Where it shines
REA / Domain saved search alerts
- Free.
- Universal — every Australian listing flows through REA.
- Excellent UI for the buyer journey (price guides, photos, videos).
- Reliable email delivery and well-tuned spam controls.
Where it falls short for SEQ developers
- Zero planning intelligence — REA doesn't know what zone the lot is in or what overlays bind.
- No DA history surfaced — comparable approvals are invisible from the listing.
- No development scoring — every listing looks equally promising.
- Volume problem — saved-search alerts in active SEQ corridors fire 10-30 times a week, none scored, all manual to triage.
- Agents flag every block as 'subdivision potential' or 'developer's dream' — no signal in those tags.
