Точность
Where the value opinion is strong, and where it is not
Blind backtest on 30 recorded sales (February 2025 to August 2026), measured on 28 October 2026. Thirty sales is a small sample: read the property types as indications.
Closest
| Многоквартирная недвижимость | 4.4% median error | 3 sales |
| Индустриальная | 2.3% | 2 sales |
| Жилая недвижимость | 9.9% | 3 sales |
| Офис | 10.4% | 4 sales |
Weakest
| Земля | 56% median error | 2 sales |
| Медицинские офисы | 40% | 3 sales |
| Restaurant | 27% | 3 sales |
These are sales that carry a going business or an assemblage of parcels. We show them because a number without its weak spots is not a number to trust.

How we know
Method and footnotes
- EstimateAbout 12 hours by hand. By hand: the figure Реалист publishes in its deal-hours tool, an estimate for a typical deal, not a measurement of your team. One broker opinion of value.
- Измереноabout 45 minutes for a value opinion. Median time from the request to the delivered files over 66 completed production runs created in the 30 days to 18 October 2026; the middle half of runs took 34 to 62 minutes.
- Измереноabout 28 minutes for a list of addresses. Median over 138 completed production runs of BOV at scale in the same window; the middle half of runs took 21 to 38 minutes. List sizes differ from run to run. The latest 30 days: about 19 minutes, median of 39 runs.
- Измерено13% median error on 30 sales. For each property the engine produced a standard Value Opinion as of the day before its recorded sale. The sale price and date were not given in the request. The point value is the figure the Value Opinion states; where it states only a range, we took its midpoint (one sale). Error is the stated value minus the recorded price, divided by the price. All 30 valued sales are counted. Properties where the engine gave no value (wrong parcel in the register, a stopped run) were set aside and are not scored; none was dropped for a poor result.
- ДопущениеYour check of the output. Your team’s check of the output: 10% of the hand hours. An assumption, editable in the calculator.
