Market Valuations and Comps
The portfolio tracker estimates the current market value of each unit using live MLS resale data.
How valuations work
The system uses a multi-step approach:
- Building match — Your pre-construction project is linked to its MLS building record
- Unit type match — Active resale listings with matching bedroom count and similar square footage are identified
- Comp scoring — Nearby comparable sales are scored by relevance (distance, size, recency, bedroom match)
- Median calculation — The median price and price-per-square-foot from comps determines the estimated market value
Comp relevance scoring
Each comparable listing receives a relevance score:
- Strong — Same building or very close, matching beds and similar sqft
- Good — Nearby building, similar unit type
- Fair — Same neighbourhood but less similar in size or configuration
What you see
On the unit detail page, the valuation section shows:
- Estimated market value — Based on comp median
- Appreciation — Percentage gain or loss since purchase price
- Developer vs. market — How the purchase price compares to current resale
- Matched listings — Active resale listings in the same building
- Nearby comps — Scored comparable sales with distance and relevance badges
Valuations update automatically as new MLS data syncs. The MLS data refreshes daily, so valuations reflect recent market activity.
Sharing valuations with clients
Send your client a link to their portfolio unit page where they can see the valuation and comp data. This is a powerful retention tool — clients check their investment value regularly, keeping you top of mind.
