Frequently Asked Questions
How does the online property valuation work?
The estimator takes current asking prices per square metre for properties for sale in the location you choose and multiplies them by your floor area. The low and high ends reflect how widely those asking prices spread, and the median sits in between. It is an estimate, not an official appraisal.
How accurate is the estimate?
The estimate is based on active listing prices and provides a solid starting point for market value. Factors like condition, renovations, view, and unique features affect the final value. For a more precise figure, we recommend consulting a local expert.
What factors influence my property's value?
Key factors include: location (district, neighborhood), floor area, number of rooms, construction type, condition, floor level, view, and local market demand. In Budapest, price differences between districts can be 50-100%.
Is the valuation free?
Yes, the online valuation is completely free and needs no sign-up.
What data is the estimate based on?
We use asking prices from active for-sale listings on the Housiko platform, updated monthly. The estimate uses the price per square metre for the location as a whole, so it does not adjust for property type, condition or floor level.
I want to sell my property. What's the next step?
List it free on Housiko: paste your property's description and our AI fills in the details for you to check. No sign-up, your listing never expires, and it appears in Hungarian and English, so international buyers see it too.
Is this an official property appraisal?
No, this is a market estimate based on listing prices. For mortgage applications or legal purposes, you'll need a certified appraiser. This tool is informational and helps you understand current market conditions.
How often are prices updated?
Our price data is updated monthly based on current listing prices.
