The number Google gives you for your home is probably wrong
Automated estimates were never precise. In a shifting market they are less reliable than ever.
You have probably typed your address into a property portal at some point and seen an estimated value. Most homeowners have. Most also quietly suspect the number is not quite right.
They are correct.
Automated estimates work off broad averages and old sales. They cannot see your renovation, your aspect, your street's quirks, or the three most relevant sales from the last month. And they are least accurate when the market is moving, which is exactly what is happening now. Values that climbed for three years have flattened, and the gap between an algorithm's guess and a property's real worth widens in conditions like these.
An accurate figure does not come from a database
It comes from reading the recent comparable sales the way a market analyst would, and that is the work behind a Smyth appraisal.
A Smyth appraisal is evidence-based, specific to your property, and grounded in current Gold Coast data rather than a national average. There is no obligation and no pressure to list. It is simply the accurate answer to a question worth getting right.
