Comparable properties
These are nearby properties of the same type and similar size. The list price shown for each one is the last asking price we observed before it left the market, not its original listing price, which keeps it close to the estimated sale date and avoids distortion from homes that were listed too high at first and later reduced.
We rank each comparable by a match score that combines how far its price and size are from this home, with a lighter weight on distance. A lower score means a closer match, and the table shows the 10 lowest.
\[ \text{score} = \left(\frac{P - P_0}{P_0}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{A - A_0}{A_0}\right)^2 + 0.5\left(\frac{d}{5}\right)^2 \]
where \(P\) is the comparable's last known list price, \(P_0\) is this home's estimated list price, \(A\) and \(A_0\) are their interior areas, and \(d\) is the distance in kilometres.

Property scores and risk indicators
Natural hazards
▸Flood9/10Strong
A rating from 0 to 10 of how often the area around a property floods, where higher numbers mean the surrounding area floods less often. It reflects the area, not the individual home.
A low score does not always mean this home will flood. It might sit on higher ground and stay dry, but a nearby flood plain can still affect it a great deal, because flooding damages surrounding roads, utilities, and services and drags on value and insurance across the whole area. Use a low score as a prompt to look into whether this particular home is genuinely at risk.
- 0-2: Very high flood exposure - The surrounding area floods readily
- 3-4: High flood exposure - The area sees significant flooding
- 5-6: Moderate flood safety - Some flood-prone conditions nearby
- 7-8: High flood safety - The area floods only rarely
- 9-10: Very high flood safety - The surrounding area is very unlikely to flood
▸Fire8/10Strong
A score measuring fire safety in the area, ranging from 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating lower fire hazard.
This score helps residents and property seekers understand the fire-related risks associated with a specific location, considering factors that could impact property safety, insurance, and emergency preparedness.
- 0-2: Very High Hazard - Extreme fire vulnerability
- 3-4: High Hazard - Significant fire risk

This score helps residents and property seekers understand the geological risks associated with a specific location, considering factors that could impact property safety and insurance.
- 0-2: Very High Hazard - Extreme earthquake vulnerability
- 3-4: High Hazard - Significant seismic risk
- 5-6: Moderate Safety - Some earthquake potential
- 7-8: High Safety - Rare seismic activity

Glossary of terms
AVM (automated valuation model)
A program that estimates property values using data and statistics.
Confidence score
How reliable the model thinks its estimate is. Higher is better.
$$\text{Confidence Score} = 100 - \text{Median MAPE}$$
100 minus median MAPE. If median MAPE is 8%, confidence is 92%.
Training vs testing data
The model learns from training data and is evaluated on held-out testing data. Testing scores reflect real-world performance.
R-squared (coefficient of determination)
How well the model explains property values. 0 to 1, where closer to 1 is better.
$$R^2 = 1 - \frac{SS_{res}}{SS_{tot}}$$
SSres = sum of squared residuals. SStot = total sum of squares.
Mean absolute error (MAE)
Average prediction error in dollars. Lower is better.
$$MAE = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} |y_i - \hat{y}_i|$$
yi = actual, ŷi = predicted, n = count.
Root mean square error (RMSE)
Like MAE but penalizes larger errors more. Lower is better.
$$RMSE = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (y_i - \hat{y}_i)^2}$$
MAPE (mean absolute percentage error)
Average error as a percentage. Lower is better.
$$MAPE = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left|\frac{y_i - \hat{y}_i}{y_i}\right| \times 100\%$$
Median MAPE
Middle of all percentage errors. Less swayed by outliers than MAPE.
Within X% accuracy
Share of predictions within X% of the actual value. Higher is better.
$$\text{Within X%} = \frac{\text{Count of } |\text{error}| \leq X\% \text{ of actual}}{\text{Total predictions}} \times 100\%$$
Mean bias
Whether the model averages high (positive) or low (negative). Closer to zero is better.
$$\text{Mean Bias} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (\hat{y}_i - y_i)$$
Median bias
Middle prediction error. Less affected by outliers than mean bias.
Over-prediction rate
Share of predictions higher than the actual value.
$$\text{Over-prediction Rate} = \frac{\text{Count of } \hat{y}_i > y_i}{\text{Total predictions}} \times 100\%$$
A balanced model is near 50%.
Under-prediction rate
Share of predictions lower than the actual value.
$$\text{Under-prediction Rate} = \frac{\text{Count of } \hat{y}_i < y_i}{\text{Total predictions}} \times 100\%$$
Percentile error
Error distribution. '90th percentile' means 90% of predictions were more accurate.
Percentile % error
Same as percentile error but as a percentage of the actual value.
Forecast standard deviation
How much predictions vary from the average prediction. Lower is more consistent.
$$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (\hat{y}_i - \bar{y})^2}$$
Coefficient of variation
Prediction consistency relative to average value. Lower is better.
$$CV = \frac{\text{Standard Deviation}}{\text{Mean}} \times 100$$
Comparable properties
Similar nearby properties used to estimate value.
Important information
Valuations come from machine learning models using comparable listings, market trends, and location. Use as a reference only.
Accuracy is measured against a held-out benchmark set. Unique property features and current market conditions not captured in the model may affect true value.
