How does Easyhome use comparable sales data?

Easyhome finds recently sold properties similar to yours nearby, then adjusts each one up or down for differences in surface, condition, PEB and location to reach your figure. This comparison method anchors the valuation to what buyers actually paid, not to asking prices or averages.

The comparison method rests on a simple idea: the best guide to what your home will sell for is what similar homes just sold for. Easyhome starts by gathering recent transactions near you (not asking prices, which mislead, but actual sale prices) and filters them down to genuinely comparable properties: similar type, size, area and standard.

Then comes the real work, adjustment. No two homes are identical, so each comparable is nudged up or down to line up with yours. A comparable with a bigger garden or a better PEB rating is adjusted downward to match your property; one in worse condition is adjusted upward. Location fine-tunes it further, because a street or two can matter. The cluster of adjusted figures points to your value.

Local anchoring is what makes this powerful. Walloon medians hide wide gaps: a median house of 240,000 euros regionally but 400,000 euros in Brabant wallon and around 1,100 euros per square metre in Charleroi (source: Notaire.be / Fednot, February 2026). Averages are useless at street level; recent comparable sales are not.

The counter-intuitive part is that fewer, closer comparables usually beat many distant ones. Five genuinely similar sales on nearby streets tell you more than fifty loosely related ones across the province. Where comparables are thin, as with an atypical property, the agent leans on the capitalisation or reconstruction-cost method instead.
