What's your property worth - our Instant Appraisal tool explained

What’s Your Home Worth? Instant Appraisal vs In-home appraisal?

If you're thinking about selling or simply curious about your property's current market value, there's a fast and easy way to get answers — and it’s now available right on our website. Our new Instant Appraisal tool gives Byron Shire homeowners an on-demand report tailored to their property, without the need for a phone call or in-person meeting.

But how accurate is the information? What should you do with the result? And why might you still want a follow-up visit from a member of our sales team? Here’s what you need to know.

What Is an Instant Appraisal?

Our instant appraisal uses current property market data from by Australia's leading provider of property data and analytics, CoreLogic.  This tool will generate a property estimate based on your address and property details, utilising recent sales data of similar properties in your area, as well as broader market insights for the Byron Shire and Northern NSW.  You'll be given a a ballpark selling price range instantly on screen, as well as delivered to your inbox for future reference.

This tool is a helpful and easy-to-use first step for:

• Homeowners thinking of selling in the next 6–12 months

• Owners considering renovating and wanting to understand how much equity they currently have in their property for borrowing purposes

• Landlords checking on their investment property price growth

• Anyone looking to buy a specific property, particularly one which may be for sale by auction

• Anyone simply curious about local market trends in their neighbourhood.

How It Works

Visit our website’s Instant Appraisal page, enter your address and confirm your details.  Receive your digital report instantly on screen and via email within minutes.

The report includes an estimated price range and a snapshot of your suburb’s market performance - your custom property link will be current for 30 days.

How Accurate Is It?

While our instant appraisal uses real data from trusted propertytech provider CoreLogic, like all other instant appraisal tools available, it’s still just a guide. It doesn’t account for:

• Recent renovations or unique features like incredible ocean views

• The condition of your home or landscaping

• Very recent, unsettled sales, that have not yet been reported.

That’s why our team always recommends following up with an in-person appraisal for a more tailored and reliable result that includes all of this additional information. Think of this tool as a helpful compass — and your trusted agent as the detailed map!  Our team will also provide personalised, professional advice, based on years of experience.

Why We Offer Both Options

We know not everyone is ready to meet with a member of our sales team right away. That’s why we offer both options:

• Instant Appraisal for quick insight, on your terms and your timeline

• In-Home Appraisal for accuracy and advice on the next steps to successfully sell your Byron Shire property.

Often, our clients start with the instant report, then schedule a home visit — where our trusted agents can assess things like layout, views, improvements, outdoor spaces, and presentation in context. The in-home appraisal also gives you a chance to ask questions about the cost of selling and discuss a tailored sales and marketing strategy to achieve your goals.

What Should You Do Next?

If your Instant Appraisal shows a result that surprises you — whether it’s higher or lower than expected — we recommend:

• Booking an in-home appraisal for a more accurate figure

• Contacting one of our trusted real estate agents for professional advice on selling your home

• Checking our recent local sales as well as current for sale listings to see market context

Whether you’re dreaming of a new lifestyle, freeing up equity in your home, or just curious about your property's price growth — understanding what your property is worth is the first step in planning your next move!
