Estimate safeguards
Automated tests check input handling, comparable-sale selection contracts, null-distance behaviour, report access and release safeguards.
Model transparency
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.
Automated tests check input handling, comparable-sale selection contracts, null-distance behaviour, report access and release safeguards.
Public scores use a consistent 0–100 display, retain missing values as unavailable and identify the model horizon and non-forecast status.
Database environment guards are designed to fail closed and keep Preview and Production selection rules separate.
Syntax, contract, regression and production-build checks are run before a release is approved.
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.
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.
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.
