The release notes for Nexus versions 3.8 and 3.9 highlight several enhancements focused on improving user experience and data accuracy.
Updates include the introduction of a Property Category Code on the property page in New Zealand, the addition of new filters for Wall and Roof materials in property searches, and an increase in the export limit for search results to CSV files. These changes aim to enhance market research capabilities and streamline processes for valuers and real estate agents.
Added Property Category Code to Nexus - Property Page
What
The property page has been enhanced with a new datapoint: the Property Category Code. This field has been added to the property attributes for every property in New Zealand.
Why It Is Important
This field is crucial for valuers, as it offers valuable insights regarding the property's type, decade of construction, and overall condition.

Updated calculation for duration since property was sold for sale events
What
We have implemented a new method for calculating the duration of sales events, using the current time as a reference point on the Market History. This means that regardless of when a sale occurred, we will consistently measure the elapsed time from that date to today.
Why It Is Important
This update standardizes how individuals perceive the time elapsed since a property was sold, aligning our practices with industry standards for greater consistency.

Added Wall Construction and Roof Constructions as filters to "All filters"
What
We have introduced two new filters to the Property search feature, enabling users to refine their results based on Wall and Roof materials.
Why it is important
These enhancements facilitate more accurate market research for both valuers and real estate agents, allowing for better comparisons and informed decision-making.
Added Wall Construction and Roof Construction to the search export result report to CSV files
What
We have added two new columns to the search results CSV export, featuring two key datapoints that empower users to enhance their research on Wall and Roof materials.
Why is it important
This enhancement facilitates a more comprehensive analysis for our users beyond the platform.
Increase export limit of Search results to CSV file to 350 rows NZ
What
We have expanded the limit of properties that can be exported to a CSV file from 100 to 350 in a single export.
Why is it important
This enhancement enables Valuers and Agents to consolidate and refine their research outside of the platform, allowing them to create further lists tailored to their individual workflows and processes.
Improve the usability of the Customise CMA page
What
The Customise CMA page has been enhanced for better usability, now clearly indicating mandatory and missing details necessary for previewing or finalizing the CMA.
Why It Is Important
Providing a clear flow for our clients and highlighting missing elements in the user interface will streamline the process, making it quicker and more efficient for our users.

Review Price Range prefill in Customise CMA
What
We have implemented minor UI changes to ensure that the price range displayed on the Customize CMA page is clearly indicated as a placeholder rather than a prefilled value.
Why It Is Important
Clients have shared feedback indicating that the previous display was misleading; they assumed it represented an expected value for an automated calculated range. The new placeholder enhances clarity by providing explicit instructions to users.
