Three-Layer AI-Powered Price Estimation

Property Price Prediction

Our property price prediction engine uses a three-layer approach that combines statistical comparable sales analysis, feature-based value adjustments, and Claude AI qualitative assessment to produce blended price estimates with confidence scoring for inner Brisbane properties.

Key Capabilities

What's Included

1

Comparable Sales Analysis

Identifies similar recently sold properties within a 12-month lookback period. Each comparable is weighted by similarity across bedrooms, bathrooms, land size, property type, and distance. Recency weighting uses exponential decay with a 180-day half-life to prioritise recent market evidence.

2

Feature Engineering

Calculates value adjustments based on property-specific features: pool (+3%), renovation quality (+5%), views (+4%), flood zone (-8%), heritage overlay impact, and more. Also incorporates suburb growth trends, RBA cash rate, auction clearance rates, seasonal factors, and supply/demand ratios.

3

Claude AI Assessment

Anthropic's Claude AI analyses the property description, comparable data, feature adjustments, and suburb context to provide a predicted price with detailed reasoning, market sentiment assessment, value drivers, and risk factors. This adds qualitative insight that pure statistical models cannot capture.

4

Blended Confidence Scoring

The three layers are combined using calibrated weights (50% comparable, 20% features, 30% AI) to produce a final estimate. Confidence is calibrated and capped at 85% for houses and 80% for units. Price ranges widen as confidence decreases, providing honest uncertainty quantification.

Process

How It Works

1

Property Identification

Enter a Brisbane property address or select from current listings. The system retrieves property details including bedrooms, bathrooms, land size, and listing description from public sources.

2

Comparable Matching

The engine searches for similar properties sold within 12 months and 2km radius, scoring each by similarity and recency. Minimum 3 comparables required for a prediction.

3

Feature Adjustment

Property features are extracted from the listing description and public records. Each feature applies a calibrated percentage adjustment to the comparable-based estimate.

4

AI Analysis

Claude AI reviews all available data and produces a qualitative assessment with predicted price, confidence level, and detailed reasoning explaining the estimate.

5

Blended Output

All three layers are combined into a single prediction with midpoint estimate, confidence percentage, and price range. Historical accuracy metrics are provided for context.
