How does Walter help me determine the right offer amount?

A strategic balance: competitive yet realistic

Winning often requires bidding ahead of the market. Walter’s approach factors in both a home’s current value and what it may take to secure it.

• Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) – A reliable, data-driven valuation that provides a realistic baseline.
• Winning Bid Estimate – A projection of what’s needed to win, factoring in market trends and competitive dynamics.

What if the appraisal is lower than my offer?

A lower-than-expected appraisal can impact financing. Walter helps you anticipate and plan for potential gaps by:

• Data-backed bidding strategies – Walter’s CMA is conservative, ensuring your bids are aligned with market realities.
• Realistic financial planning – In 60% of cases, the appraisal matches or exceeds the advised purchase price.
• Managing potential shortfalls – Here’s how the 40% of cases with a lower appraisal are distributed:
  • The first 10% of cases have an appraisal gap less than €4,000.
  • The next 10% of cases have an appraisal gap between €4,000 and €9,000.
  • Only 10% of cases have an appraisal gap larger than €19,000.

This insight helps you decide what’s manageable before placing your bid.
