Appraisal Vs Valuation
Two Words That Get Mixed Up
Search for a property valuation in Adelaide and you’ll find both. They answer different questions, and only one of them is free.
| Free agent appraisal | Formal valuation | |
|---|---|---|
| Prepared by | A local real estate agent | A certified valuer |
| Cost to you | Nothing | Paid to the valuer |
| Based on | Recent comparable sales and what buyers are paying now | Comparable sales, assessed to a formal standard |
| Used for | Deciding whether, when and how to sell | Lending, courts and family-law settlements |
| Includes advice on selling | Yes | No |
| Accepted by a bank or court | No | Yes |
If a lender, solicitor or court has asked for a valuation, ask them which valuers they accept before you book one.
How We Price It
Sold Prices, Not Hopes
We start with what has sold, not what is listed. The best evidence is a home like yours (same type, similar land and floor area, the same pocket of the suburb) that sold recently. We gather the closest matches and look at what each one had that yours doesn’t, and the other way round.
Then we look at what you’d be up against: the homes for sale now that a buyer would inspect on the same Saturday. And we look at demand: who is asking about homes like yours, including the buyers on our own database.
Finally we walk through your home. Sales records can’t see light, layout or the quality of a renovation. The figure you get is one we can back with addresses and dates, and we’ll show you them.
What Moves The Price
What Buyers Actually Pay For
Some of these you can change before you sell. Most you can’t, and it’s better to know which.
Land and position
The size and shape of the block, the street, the aspect and what is next door. The parts you can’t renovate.
Condition
Roof, wiring, plumbing and the obvious repairs. Buyers discount for work they can see, and for work they suspect.
Layout and light
How the rooms work together, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and how the living areas feel at the time buyers inspect.
Presentation
Decluttered, clean and well photographed. Cheap to fix, and the first thing every buyer sees online.
Timing and competition
How many similar homes are for sale at the same time, and how active buyers are in your price bracket.
The right buyers seeing it
A home only sells for what the keenest buyer will pay. Reaching that buyer is the marketing’s whole job.
What Selling Costs
Know What Selling Costs Before You Start
We charge a commission on the sale price, and your campaign has a marketing budget. Both are agreed in writing in your sales agency agreement before the campaign starts, so you know what selling costs before you list.
Your appraisal comes with our commission and a suggested marketing plan. Put them with the likely price in our sale proceeds calculator and you can see what you’d walk away with before you decide anything.

Appraisal Questions
Property Appraisals: FAQs
Is a free property appraisal the same as a valuation?
No. An appraisal is a local agent’s opinion of what your home would sell for now, based on recent comparable sales. A valuation is a formal, paid report from a certified valuer, and it is what banks, courts and family-law settlements rely on. If you need a figure for any of those, you need a valuer.
How accurate is an appraisal?
As accurate as the evidence behind it. That’s why ours shows the comparable sales we used and how your home compares with each. When there are plenty of recent, similar sales nearby the figure is tight; when your home is unusual we say so, and explain the range of outcomes.
Why is my online estimate different?
Online estimates are worked out by software from sales records. They can’t see your new kitchen, the slope of the block or the noise from the road, and they can lag the market. They’re a fair starting point; an appraisal from someone who has walked through the house is the next step.
Do I have to sell with Axiom if I get an appraisal?
No. The appraisal is free and there is no obligation. Some owners are a year or more away from selling and want to know where they stand; that’s a perfectly good reason to ask.
How should I prepare for an appraisal?
You don’t need to tidy for us. It helps to have a list of what you’ve changed since you bought (renovations, a new roof, solar, approvals for any extensions) and anything you know needs work. We’d rather hear about it from you than find it later.
What does it cost to sell with Axiom?
Like most Adelaide agents, we charge a commission on the sale price, and your campaign has its own marketing budget. Both are set out in writing in the sales agency agreement before anything starts, and we talk you through them with your appraisal. To see what you would walk away with, try our sale proceeds calculator.
Can you appraise a rental property with a tenant in it?
Yes. A tenanted home is appraised the same way, and we’ll also talk through whether to sell it tenanted or vacant. See selling an investment property.
