How the estimation engine works
We combine 11 property factors into a property score, apply a market index built from the cash rate, population growth, sentiment and building approvals, then multiply by the city base rate per square metre.

Reading your confidence band
Confidence reflects data completeness and comparable sale volume. Low confidence means treat the range, not the midpoint, as the answer.
Estimation vs formal valuation
A PricePad estimation is automated and indicative. A formal valuation is prepared by a certified valuer and is what lenders require.
Preparing to sell
Run an estimation, compare against active listings in your suburb, then list free on PricePad or brief an agent with the numbers in hand.
