Tanah Merah, X‑rayed.
What the suburb is, and what it is becoming. The prices, what is being approved, the crime mix, the schools. By the numbers, then check any address on the street.
The market reads tight, in the buyer's favour.
The counts (listings, stock, cuts) include every property type: houses, townhouses, units, land. Days on market is houses only, because a median across different property types describes none of them. The buyer signal reads both. Active = listed and not yet delisted. Stock on market = active listings divided by all land parcels in the suburb (parcels are lots, not dwellings, so read it as a proxy). Days on market and cuts cover the trailing window noted on each.

What's arriving
Flood is a street-by-street question.
A suburb-wide flood figure hides the only answer that matters: whether the specific lot you are looking at sits inside a mapped overlay.
Flood overlays for Logan are in our map. The per-lot answer (in or out of the overlay) is on the address report, not a suburb average.

What people do
A high owner-occupier share, paired with a professional resident base, is a demand signal: people buy here to live, not to flip. It says nothing about the specific street or block. The per-address report puts these residents next to the exact lot, its zoning and what is being built nearby.
