Most listings around Brisbane and Adelaide now run without a price, and the selling agent's job is to keep it that way until you've committed. You still have to put a number on the offer. This page is how we get to that number, and what it costs to have us do it.
A property is worth what similar homes nearby have sold for in the last few months, adjusted for the things that differ: land size, condition, position, aspect. We pull the settled sales, not the asking prices, and build the range from those. "Offers over" is a marketing line; the sales record is evidence.
Two homes on the same street can be worth different amounts because one sits in a flood overlay, a bushfire zone, or a planning overlay that limits what you can do with it. We check every property on your shortlist against the state and council mapping before you inspect, so the Saturday goes on homes that are still worth what they look like.
We know when a property sells off-market, and what it sold for. A portal only shows what was publicly listed, so that price never reaches realestate.com.au or Domain. Layered over an average of 1,200 properties we review per client, it is what lets us call a fair price instead of guessing at one.CapitalVue client shortlist data, August 2026.
Before you inspect. You find the homes on realestate.com.au or Domain and send them to us. For each one: a price range from comparable settled sales, flood and bushfire overlay status, zoning and any planning overlays, and a plain read of whether it fits the brief you gave us. You inspect the ones that pass.
When you have chosen one. We negotiate the purchase: offer strategy, price, terms and conditions, and the back-and-forth with the selling agent, private treaty or auction. If it goes under the hammer we attend and bid for you as part of this fee.
What it does not cover. Building and pest inspections, conveyancing, finance. We will tell you when to order them and what to look for in the reports, but they are your own professionals and your own contracts.

For people still in the market and starting to feel it. You know exactly what you want and where. You have put in an offer on a home you had already mentally moved into, maybe more than one, and watched it go to someone else. Not because you wanted it less. Because you did not know what to actually put on the table.
Not for investors building a portfolio, which is a different service with a different fee, and not for anyone who has not started looking yet. If that is you, the free two-minute readiness check is the better first step.
Tell us where you are looking and we will come back within one business day with whether the service fits and what happens next.
General information only. This page provides general information about residential property and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs.

A price range is not a valuation. Any range we give you is our opinion, formed from the sales evidence available at the time. It is not a sworn valuation and it is not a forecast of future value. Property values can fall as well as rise.
