Source Code - CollectData.java

Compiled Java class - CollectData.zip HTML output from this build: redata11_Apr_2008.html NB: The average and median values for each postcode are specfic to each postcode. The average and median totals are NOT calculated using these individual postcode totals. The total ave/median values are calculated using all prices found during the search (ie, median is the mid-value from all 635 properties found, not the median from the 7 postcode medians).

To run the code you need to download the CollectData.class and type this on the comandline:     java CollectData NB: This built class is hard-coded with just 3 test suburbs (postcodes 2007, 2008, and 2009). To download data for different suburbs the code needs to be manually changed (there is a table at the top called 'postCodeIndex'). When run it will output two files, a HTML report an a CSV file. The filenames are dated. Example files from 11-Apr-2008: redata11_apr_2008.csv redata11_apr_2008.html

WARNINGS: This program is quite slow. It can take a long time to download data. It may also not be reliable (so far almost no testing other than to make sure it downloads data for a few randomly selected postcodes).
