The tool is easy to use and gives you the possibility to analyse all the information about the market, from the changes in the selling price, to the state of the property or the distribution of pricing across neighbourhoods.
CASAFARI allows me to monitor the changes in the local market because I can see in real-time the exact number of properties for sale and their details.
Registered transaction prices from official sources
CASAFARI holds registered transaction prices: what homes actually sold for, taken from official sources in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Poland and Austria, and not only what they were advertised at. In Area Insights and Market Analytics you can set the average closing price of an area beside its asking prices.
- Comparables: sold homes with a real closing price carry a purple “closing price” tag and are added automatically when the valuation finds them.
- CMA: the estimate multiplies the average price per m² of your selected comparables by the property's area, so comparables with registered prices count towards the value.
- Market Study: see the average closing price for the kind of property you are valuing in a chosen area, next to current asking prices.
- Property History: every registered sale around the property in Spain, France, Italy and Poland, and how the average closing price in the area has developed. In Portugal and Austria it shows the development of aggregated official statistics for the area.
