Property Valuation

Property valuation is the process of estimating the market value of a property - what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller under normal market conditions. Valuations inform buying decisions, mortgage lending, insurance, and investment analysis.

Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) use statistical analysis of comparable sales, market trends, and property attributes to generate instant estimates. They power tools like Rightmove's Value My Home. The accuracy of an AVM depends on data quality and the density of comparable transactions in the area.

Property data APIs provide the transaction history and active listing data that AVMs and valuation tools require. Access to recent sold prices, current listing prices for comparable properties, and market-level trend data is the foundation of any programmatic valuation product.
