At some point, we all need to have a property appraised. Whether out of curiosity, to take stock of our assets, to get an idea of current market prices, or simply to reassure ourselves with a view to a future sale. Online valuation is a very real temptation, and is often useful. 

Indeed, it's generally difficult to be totally objective about the value of one's own property. For those who are already in the process of selling, it's crucial to make an accurate estimate of the property's value. So it's unthinkable to miss this step! Let's take a look at the 3 best sites for estimating the price of your house or apartment online.

The best online appraisal sites 

Given the relatively high rates charged by traditional agencies and the development of online support, it's natural to turn to online estimates these days. 

Most of these sites are fast, free and, above all, non-binding. They allow you to quickly get an initial idea of the value of your property. 

However, you should be careful about the reliability of an online real estate estimate, as these tools cannot take into account all the specific characteristics of your house or apartment, and can sometimes deviate from reality. It is therefore advisable to call on a professional to evaluate your property, such as a certified real estate expert or a real estate agent.

Here is a list of the 3 best online estimation sites for your properties:

Immoprice.be

Immoprice is a pioneer in online valuation in Belgium. The Immoprice platform gives you an idea of the market value, valuation and even rental value of a property by answering a series of questions concerning its surface area, condition, location, etc.

This tool uses an algorithm that takes into account both objective and subjective criteria. You can be satisfied with the raw value without explanation, which is free of charge, or obtain a detailed report for 25 euros.

Immoweb.be

Considered one of Belgium's leading online real estate companies, Immoweb launched its online real estate sales site in 1996. With a wide range of online real estate listings, Immoweb has a comprehensive database for its valuations. Immoweb also offers a free tool to help you get an idea of the value of your property. All you have to do is enter a few criteria about the property's condition, and you'll receive an e-mail with a range indicating the property's average, lower and upper value.

Notaire.be

The notaries' real estate barometer. Managed by the notaries of Belgium, the prices communicated are the actual prices of the latest transactions. An excellent site for a realistic overview of the latest real estate trends by region. Searches can be made by property type and geographical area. A good complement to other sites. We liked the explanation at the bottom of the page of the methods used by Notaires to calculate real estate prices. Even if the ergonomics of the "house estimate" and "apartment estimate" sections remain visually very simple.

You now have several leads to start your real estate investigation, all from the comfort of your sofa! Remember, however, that algorithms have their limits, and cannot replace the trained eye of an expert. Some of your home's assets can't be analyzed by a robot, just like its surroundings, its condition, its brightness, any refreshments...

What's the best online real estate appraisal site?

The valuation of a property is complex, and it's important to have more than one opinion. Estimating your house or apartment online will give you an initial idea of its value, but it's important to be able to compare it with the eye of an expert. 

To refine the value of your home as accurately as possible, there are now digital real estate agencies like BrickSquare that offer telephone estimates, through telephone interviews with an expert in the sector, also free of charge and with no obligation. This can be a good compromise for a reliable estimate. Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements. We'd be delighted to help you with your valuation.
