Automated Valuation Model (AVM)

What is the difference between the AVM Residential Comparable Report and AVM Market Sales Report?

An AVM Residential Comparable Report provides a real-time estimate of market value for the subject property and property attribute information on the subject property and on up to three comparable properties that have recently sold (based on sales of properties within a 13-month period).

The AVM Market Sales Report provides a real-time estimate of market value for the subject property and property attribute information on the subject property and on up to 12 comparable properties that have recently sold (based on sales of properties within a 24-month period).

Is an AVM report available for all properties in Ontario?

An AVM report is not generated for residential properties of five units or more, for vacant land, for commercial/industrial properties or for multi-residential and farm properties.

How often is the AVM updated?

MPAC’s AVM is updated weekly in Ontario and British Columbia, and monthly in all other Canadian Provinces where we have coverage, which includes approximately 85% of all residential properties in Canada. The AVM uses current market information and represents an up-to-date estimate of market value for a subject property.

What is a Confidence Rating?

A statistical measure that reflects how typical a property is in relation to the local housing market and neighbouring properties. A statistical measure that reflects how typical a property is in relation to the local housing market and neighbouring properties. A property can be rated as Low, Medium or High, which will be indicated using a five star scale.

What is a Confidence Limit?

Statistical prediction limits are calculated on the estimated value representing the range of probable selling prices.

Can the AVM and Current Value Assessment differ in value for the same property?

Yes. The AVM value will reflect the current market, which may differ than the legislated date that the current value assessment is reflective. The date for the current value assessment is legislated, whereas the valuation date for the AVM changes as often as weekly  based on current market activity.
