Automated valuation models
What this task is
Agents estimate what a home is worth by weighing recent nearby sales, floor level, orientation, age and condition, advising sellers on asking prices and buyers on whether an offer makes sense.
How AI replaces it
From 2017, automated valuation models began using large transaction datasets and property features to estimate prices, often shown directly on platforms. By 2026, routine home valuations are largely model-driven.
What stays human
Agents explain the reasoning behind estimates, handle unusual homes where data is thin, and help both sides settle on a realistic price with a feel for current market sentiment.
