What is AVM? (Automated Valuation Model)

AVM is short for "Automated Valuation Model". Appraisers, Wall Street and Lending Institutions all use AVM technology in their analysis of residential property. An AVM is a residential Valuation Report that can be obtained in a matter of seconds. It is a technology driven report. The product of an automated valuation technology analysis, public record data, and computer decision logic combined to provide a logical calculated estimate of a probable selling price of a residential property.

An AVM generally uses a combination of two types of evaluation, the running of a hedonic model and a repeat sales index. The results of each are weighed, analyzed and then reported as a final estimate of value based on a requested reasoning date.

Each AVM includes:

> A highly accurate market value estimate for residential property nationwide.

> The Tax assessor’s indication of value, where appropriate.

> Subject property information and sales history.

> Comparable Sales analysis of like properties.
