What does "market value" actually mean?

Market value is the price a home would most likely sell for today between a willing buyer and a willing seller — supported by what genuinely comparable homes nearby have just sold for. It is different from the asking price (a marketing choice), the tax assessment (often years stale), and a bank appraisal (built for the lender). The HOMEH report estimates market value from live sold evidence.

How is this different from the Home Estimate tool?

The Free Home Estimate answers "what is this specific home worth before I offer on it?" The Market Value Report zooms out: the value estimate plus the market around it — price direction, competition, and where that home sits in its range. Use it when you are still choosing a neighbourhood or timing your move.

Can market trends really change what I should pay?

Significantly. The same house can be worth meaningfully more in a rising, low-inventory pocket than in a cooling one — and your offer strategy flips with it: firm and fast in a hot market, patient and conditional in a soft one. The report tells you which game you are playing before you play it.

Does it work for any address, even homes not for sale?

Yes. Every Ontario civic address works — active listings, never-listed homes, or an address in a neighbourhood you are researching. The report builds from the real sold homes around that address in about 30 seconds, free and private.

Is the market value guaranteed?

No — it is a professional estimate with a stated range and confidence level, and Ontario rules mean sold-price details may require a free account to view. Markets move; the report is a snapshot of today. A licensed HOMEH agent can layer on street-level knowledge before you commit.

How does buying through HOMEH pay me back?

When a HOMEH agent represents your purchase, 1.5% of the purchase price is returned to you as a Cashback Rebate at closing, subject to eligibility and your buyer agreement. Understanding market value keeps you from overpaying; the rebate pays you on top of it.

A price is a moment. Value is a market.

Three signals separate buyers who understand a market from buyers who chase it.

Price direction

Is the neighbourhood rising, flat, or cooling? Your report reads the trend from the most recent closed sales — not last spring's headlines.

Inventory & competition

How many comparable homes are for sale right now decides whether you negotiate — or compete. The report tells you which market you are walking into.

Value vs price

Market value is what the evidence supports; price is what someone asks. Knowing the gap between them is how buyers avoid overpaying at the peak of a pocket.

Buy in the right market — and get 1.5% back.

When you purchase through a HOMEH agent, 1.5% of the price returns to you as a Cashback Rebate at closing. That is

the industry's highest

Cashback Rebate. Full buyer representation included. Reading the market keeps you from overpaying; the rebate pays you on top.
