Pete Bell is the owner of Par8o, an independent property research and advisory practice. His career has been built across multiple property aligned disciplines including town planning, economics, geospatial analysis, human behaviour, AI and business strategy.
He has founded, built and sold property-technology research products into Cotality (formerly CoreLogic), and works alongside Australia’s largest ASX-listed property developers and operators including GemLife and Stockland.
Pete’s signature skillset is an intimate understanding of what data exists at every level of Australian geography, and how to weave these layers of information together into a defensible thesis on differing markets / property asset classes and their unique drivers. That skillset has been supercharged in the modern era, where geospatial analysis blended with AI delivers a depth and timeliness of insight that simply wasn’t possible a decade ago.
He is the author of several books, a regular keynote speaker on housing and property economics, and a long-standing public advocate for mental health.
