I watched 61 agency-direct listings across the Eastern Suburbs, appraised the movers against sold comps, and culled the rest. Here's the standup.
Began the overnight sweep. Pulled 61 active agency-direct listings matching your brief — 3-bed houses, <$3.5m, walk to a station, decent catchment. searchListings · brief#tim
Caught a new one 2 days before the portals. This is the strong fit.
Sits $120–190k below the comp band. Six 3-beds sold in Bondi last 6mo at $3.35–3.55m ↗, median $/m² $14.2k. Best value I've seen this week.
Two Bondi 3-beds settled high overnight — 32 Castlefield St $3.62m ↗ and 5 Wairoa Ave $3.71m ↗ — so I recomputed the basis. Median $/m² lifted $14.2k → $14.9k, which makes 14 Wellington look even better against the new band. cma · recompute
A home you're watching dropped its guide.
New guide $3.95m. The cut moves it from ~7% over into the comp band ($3.8–4.0m ↗). The gap I flagged in April has closed — worth a fresh appraisal.
Culled 9 over-priced and 4 off-brief listings so you don't have to. One in Tamarama guided ~22% over comps — skipped. score · cull 13
Reminder for Saturday — one on your shortlist goes to auction.
Guide is honest — inside the comp band ($2.8–3.0m). I'd set a walk-away ceiling of $3.05m. Above that, you're paying tomorrow's price today.
One strong fit to act on, one watched home back in range, and a quiet auction Saturday. I'll ping you the moment a strong fit lands — otherwise, see you tomorrow at 8. Anything you want me to dig into?
The briefing as a narrated overnight story. The app opens on a "while you slept" night-sky hero, then a timeline of moments — what the agent found, computed, and culled, hour by hour — ending with a signed-off note. It reads like a daily standup from a personal analyst who never sleeps.
Scroll the timeline like a story. Narration beats (no card) carry the connective tissue and the cull count; moment cards are the things to act on (the strong find, the price drop, the auction). The live "now" node shows the agent still working. Chat is demoted to a follow-up dock at the bottom — "ask a follow-up," never the front door.
A great buyer's agent doesn't dump a spreadsheet — they tell you what they did and what they think. The story format builds trust and makes the overnight work legible and felt. It also naturally surfaces the moat: "I caught this before the portals," "the comps moved, so I recomputed."
Purple = computed numbers ($/m², bands, the $3.05m ceiling). Blue underlined =
a citation to a real sold comp you can tap. The agent's read is plain prose. Tool pills
(cma, findComps) expose the real steps behind each beat.

Real to the product: overnight event-driven sweep, agency-direct early catch,
comps recompute when new sales settle, $/m², SEIFA decile, catchment, walk-away ceiling, cull-the-duds.
Faked for the mock: addresses, photos (picsum), the exact timestamps & prices,
the narrated voice. The timeline is theatre over a real pipeline.
The bold take. Higher delight and stronger trust-building, but more design/copy surface to maintain and it can feel thin on a quiet day (a story needs events). Best paired with variant A's density as a fallback layout. The narrated voice also raises the bar on tone — the agent must always sound unconflicted and precise.
