HtAG puts Australian commercial sales data into AI assistants

HtAG Analytics has launched a commercial sold-property search endpoint and MCP tool that lets developers and AI assistants query Australian commercial comparable sales through self-serve access. The move targets a market where sale prices are often hidden, with pricing from A$0.075 per row and a free first 25 rows on each endpoint.

Why it matters: - Australian commercial comparable sales are hard to find because many listings are marked "contact agent" and never publish a price. - HtAG's new access model puts that data into a self-serve API and into AI assistants that can call external tools through MCP. - The launch lowers friction for commercial agents, valuers, lenders, brokers, developers and proptech teams that need comparable-sales evidence. - HtAG prices searches at A$0.075 per row, with the first 25 rows free on each endpoint.

What happened: - HtAG Analytics launched commercial sold-property search in its Developer Portal on 4 November 2026. - The launch makes Australian commercial comparable sales available through a REST API and through MCP, or Model Context Protocol. - The new search endpoint is GET /v1/property/commercial/sold/search. - The same search is also available as the MCP tool search_commercial_sold_properties. - HtAG said users can connect the service to Claude or another MCP-compatible assistant and ask for searches in plain English.

The details: - The endpoint can search around an address, an address key, or a latitude and longitude. - Searches can cover a radius of up to 5 km or a whole suburb. - Users can filter by category, tenancy status, sale date, sale price, floor area and land area. - Results can be sorted by newest sale or nearest distance. - Nine category filters are available: industrial, office, retail, showroom, medical, development land, hospitality and leisure, rural agribusiness, and other. - Each result can include the address, distance from the search point, sold date, recorded sale price where disclosed, floor and land area, zoning and land use, year built and tenure. - Where a price exists, the price is the recorded transfer-of-title price, not an asking price. - In a test search on 4 November 2026 for industrial sales within 5 km of 6 Woods Close, Huntingwood NSW, sold since 1 November 2025, the API returned 14 sales. - Of those 14 sales, 8 were sold with vacant possession, 4 were sold tenanted and 2 did not state tenure. - Floor areas in that test ranged from 211 to 5,248 square metres. - One of the 14 sales had a recorded sale price. - HtAG said its connectors are listed in Anthropic's Claude connector directory. - Access is self-serve at htagai.com, with a no-code Playground for running searches in a browser. - Rows are billed on HtAG's Enhanced tier at A$0.075 per row at list price, including GST. - Every account gets its first 25 rows free on each endpoint. - Linked annual HtAG Professional and Elite plans receive 90% off data rates. - Usage is capped at 10,000 billable rows per organisation per month.

Between the lines: - HtAG is trying to make opaque commercial transaction data easier to use by pairing a search API with AI-assistant access. - The launch also signals growing demand for machine-readable property data as AI tools become part of everyday workflows. - HtAG said most commercial sale prices never become public, and the company chose to show that limitation directly. - HtAG said the search can replace the phone calls, PDFs and spreadsheets often needed to assemble comparable evidence. - The company positioned the service as one of the first in Australia to expose commercial comparable sales to AI assistants through MCP. - HtAG also described itself as one of the few providers offering self-serve, pay-per-row access to Australian commercial sales data, which is otherwise sold mainly through enterprise contracts.

What's next: - HtAG plans to serve commercial and buyers' agents, valuers, commercial lenders and brokers, developers assessing sites, and proptech teams building comparable-sales tools. - The endpoint currently covers sold comparable-sales data only. - HtAG does not yet include commercial leasing, rents, yields or for-sale listings. - Sales whose address was withheld by the selling agent are not returned. - Not every sale has a published price, so users will still face gaps in public market coverage. - HtAG's broader platform covers 7,000+ suburbs, 150+ metrics and 537 LGA dashboards. - The Developer Portal offers 104+ REST endpoints and 70+ public MCP tools across 6 MCP servers.

The bottom line: - HtAG is betting that commercial property data becomes more valuable when it is both searchable and AI-ready, especially in a market where prices are often hidden.
