How our free online valuation works
Our automated valuation tool delivers the most accurate property appraisal on the market in less than 3 minutes (it is based on thousands of real property transactions in Switzerland).
Explanation: We use whatâs called a âstatistical regressionâ, a form of artificial intelligence (AI), which doesnât require any human interaction or intervention.
Our valuation application is fed by 4 models: 3 models used by banks to determine property value for mortgages, i.e. IAZI, Wuest Partner and PriceHubble, and our own proprietary model which takes the local land zoning into consideration. Statistically, calculating the median of all the models allows us to provide you with the most up to date and accurate property appraisals in the Swiss property market.
You benefit from: An instant, accurate and free online valuation of your property, house or apartment.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes, the appraisal is completely free and automatic (5 minutes). We donât ask for money or credit card details, only an email address and mobile number for security reasons.
Why do you offer this for free?
We do not sell appraisals. They are 100% free. Instead, we only earn a commission once a client has sold a property (paid for out of the proceeds of the sale) or obtains a mortgage through one of our specialist mortgage advisors.
Do I have to provide any personal information?
Yes, we do ask for your name, email address and phone number for security reasons. As the sale of a property is a private matter, our policy is to avoid requesting information that we consider to be superfluous.
Is my information safe?
Yes. Your information is treated in accordance with Swiss and European data protection laws. We do not pass on or sell data to third parties. We respond to information requests in a timely fashion.
How can you say that you have the most accurate appraisal in Switzerland?
There are 3 major automated valuation model providers in Switzerland: IAZI, Wuest and Pricehubble. We have licensed all 3 models and run them for every single home that is appraised on our website.Â
We then combine the results and apply our own corrections, developed internally with the help and experience of real estate professionals. Examples of corrections include those that are applicable to large areas of land that come with planning permission, laws limiting the price of properties - for instance in the Geneva development zone - and, property/land within agricultural zones, etc.
How do you differ from your competitors offering free appraisals?
See the point above, where we explain why our appraisal is the most accurate in the Swiss market.
How to estimate the price of a house or apartment?
There are several ways to assess the value of an apartment or a house. At RealAdvisor, our experts will help you navigate through each of these appraisal methods to determine the market price of your property.
Automated real estate valuation
This statistical method compares your property with thousands of historical transactions to determine its value.
Automated valuations are very precise for standard properties for which there are many recorded transactions. For unique or luxury homes, the estimates are less accurate due the lack of comparable transactions.
Comparative market analysis
This is an examination of the prices of similar properties currently on the market.
The real estate agent is very close to the market, thus he is the best person to help you set the price based on how well your home ranks against the competition.
Intrinsic valuation
The term intrinsic value represents the real or actual value of a property. This is how it's computed:
New value - Depreciation + Plot value = Intrinsic Value
This method does not factor in the supply and demand in the market, which makes it difficult to apply, because the value of the land is hard to estimate.
Development potential
When a plot has allocated space for further construction, it is very common that the value of the land itself is higher than the value of the building it currently hosts.
In these cases, the owners are more likely to receive interesting offers from property developers.
RealAdvisor experts systematically assess if a plot has development potential.
