Confused to why was your instant valuation wrong?
We all love a quick online home valuation- but let’s be honest, those numbers are just a ballpark figure. They don’t always capture what’s really happening in your local property market. If you’re serious about understanding your home’s true worth (whether you’re selling or staying put), you’ll want figures you can trust.
🏡 The Truth About Online Valuations
Here are the three main reasons online valuations often miss the mark:
1. Often they're only around 60–70% accurate.
Most instant valuations rely on computer-generated data and algorithms. While quick, they can’t account for the unique features that make your home special, such as extensions, renovations, presentation, or outlook. Nor can they take into account the hyper-local market and how active buyers are at the time.
2. They rely on outdated or incomplete sales data.
Online tools use information from the last time your property sold and other recent transactions nearby. In many areas, especially ours, some streets don’t have regular sales. Our local market also has its own distinct trends that aren’t reflected in generic national data.
3. They can’t reflect your home’s individuality.
No algorithm can see the improvements you’ve made, the demand for your property style, or the true value of your exact location. That’s why having your home assessed by us in person makes all the difference.
