How accurate are the Automated Valuation Models (AVM)?

Automated estimates are interesting to look at and compare. There are countless AVMs in the marketplace, each claiming to be more accurate than the rest. The most sophisticated among these are available exclusively to the real estate industry - primarily to lenders and appraisers. These complex mathematical algorithms use various data sources to profile property and determine an estimated value range.

How does a database know that your new kitchen finishes are high-end and reflect the latest trends? How can it take into account that your garden is right off the living area and protected from the winds, unlike the similar house next door? Many crucial factors are not factored into computer generated estimates, which is why the value range they offer is wide and unreliable.

Zephyr agents can refine value in a way AVMs cannot. Contact us for a no obligation analysis and introduction into how we can provide consummate value and service to you.
