Address privacy when selling your own home

When you list your own home, you control how much address information appears publicly. The best choice depends on your privacy preference, inspection plans and how easy the home is to find.

Full address

Showing the full address can make it easier for buyers to research the area and attend inspections. It may suit sellers who are comfortable with public visibility and have set inspection times.

Suburb only

Suburb-only visibility gives buyers enough context to understand the location while keeping the exact street private until you choose to share it.

Address available on enquiry

• Useful if the home is occupied and you want to screen enquiries first.
• Helpful for properties where privacy or access needs more control.
• May reduce casual drive-bys but can add one extra step for serious buyers.

Be consistent

Whichever option you choose, make sure your listing copy, inspection details and buyer replies match the privacy setting. Clear expectations make the process smoother.
