How the SOBA Price Check works

Where data is available, each home gets an estimate from the closest comparable homes, a quick-sale price and a top of the range, then real sales nearby, what buyers usually pay below asking and how long the home has been for sale. Area prices show the local per-m² range and middle, and how this home's asking price compares. I use the town when there is a matching figure, otherwise the province. Without a confirmed living area, the area figure can still show, but there is no asking-per-m² comparison. It is an estimate, not a valuation, so check it with a local agent. I don't tell you whether to buy and I don't suggest an offer.

Price Check can't see the condition beyond the photos, legal problems like a missing habitability certificate or unregistered extensions, or renovations that aren't in the listing. That's what a viewing, a surveyor and a lawyer are for.

Businesses, land, rentals and ruins that need a full rebuild have no Price Check. Homes in countries we don't cover yet have none. An estimate, sales nearby or an area figure is needed before the block shows. General negotiation figures and time on the market never appear on their own.

Italy's official OMI bulk quotations require authorised access and are not loaded here yet. Spain's reachable ministry municipal appraisal figures do not separate houses from flats; Notariado's portal was unavailable when checked. Croatia's public municipal tables give annual sold-price medians per m², not a range. An exact municipality and home-type match with at least ten sales shows the 2025 median, graded Rough. Withheld or unmatched figures stay on asking prices only. I don't fill missing figures with guesses.

No owner names, no addresses of past sales and no map pins. Sales show a distance band like "within 5 km". French sale records are shown only to signed-in members.
