The extent to which an AVM’s valuations approximate actual market values. Analysts usually examine a model’s overall accuracy through two different types of metrics – measures of AVM bias and measures of AVM precision.

- Introducing PTM™ – Revolutionizing AVM Testing for Accurate Property ValuationsAVM testing is broken and has been for some time, which means that we don’t really know how much we can or should rely on AVMs for accurate valuations. AVMetrics is proud to unveil our game-changing Predictive Testing Methodology (PTM™), designed specifically to circumvent the problem that is invalidating all current testing.
- Study: AVMetrics’ Predictive Testing MethodologyIn this study, we have performed a comparative side-by-side analysis of both our Legacy and our new PTM™ testing systems. We used an outcomes analysis to see how the models were anchoring their valuation estimates after a listing price was published. We obtained value estimates for the same properties for use in both testing methodologies to ensure that the sampled properties were identical. This gave us a measure of the difference in the model(s) testing outcomes between the two methodologies. We believe that this new testing method establishes a new “normal” for the prediction accuracy of models uninfluenced by listing price testing outcomes.
