AU Australia property term

Market Appraisal

Australia-wide

Plain-English definition

A real estate agent's estimate of a property's likely market selling or rental range based on local knowledge and comparable evidence.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

An appraisal is not the same as a formal valuation by a qualified valuer and may be prepared to win a listing. Ask for supporting comparable sales and obtain a valuation where the decision requires one.
