AusHomeValue

Model transparency

Validation status, without inflated claims.

AusHomeValue separates automated software checks from real-world predictive accuracy. Passing a test proves the system followed its contract; it does not prove a future price outcome.

Last reviewed: 12 August 2026

Current position: the product is suitable for early research and screening. It is not a certified valuation and no public claim of a fixed accuracy percentage is made.

What is currently validated

Estimate safeguards

Automated tests check input handling, comparable-sale selection contracts, null-distance behaviour, report access and release safeguards.

Opportunity contract

Public scores use a consistent 0–100 display, retain missing values as unavailable and identify the model horizon and non-forecast status.

Environment isolation

Database environment guards are designed to fail closed and keep Preview and Production selection rules separate.

Release checks

Syntax, contract, regression and production-build checks are run before a release is approved.

What is not yet proven

How to interpret confidence

Confidence describes evidence availability and model coverage. It is not the probability that a sale falls inside the displayed range. A high-confidence result can still be wrong when condition, renovation quality, title constraints or off-market terms are missing.

Next validation standard

Future accuracy reporting should use time-separated holdout sales, report median absolute percentage error by property type and geography, disclose sample coverage, and compare results with simple suburb-median and recent-comparable baselines. Results should be published only after leakage and survivorship checks.

Safe use

Use the output to form a shortlist and identify questions. Confirm decisions using current contracts, title and planning material and appropriately qualified property, legal and financial professionals.
