Understand home value sources and equity
Each valuation is labelled with its type, source, date, range and confidence. Automated market estimates are off unless an operator has configured a provider.
How to use it
- Open Finance and find the valuation section. Each row shows its type: Market estimate, Assessed value, Your estimate or Appraisal, with the provider, date, range and confidence where known.
- Enter your own estimate, an assessed value or an appraisal by hand at any time. These work on every plan, and existing entries are shown as Your estimate.
- Market estimate and other sources lets you set the address, request an estimate and correct a wrong address match. This appears only where an operator has turned automated valuations on and configured a provider. No provider is enabled by default, and sample data is never shown as a real estimate.
- Equity needs both a valuation and debt evidence. The equity card names the valuation type, source and date, and the debt source and dates it used. Without both it shows no equity.
- Requests are limited to three refreshes per home per day; optional scheduled refreshes use a per-home interval.
- An estimate is not an appraisal, a payoff quote or a guarantee of value.
Manual valuations are available on every plan. Automated market estimates are intended for Ark+ and are off unless a provider is configured.
