PRESS RELEASE
StreetSine Crosses 150,000 X-Value™ Valuations per Month, Underscoring a Growing Interest in Singapore Property
11 August 2017. StreetSine Technology Group announces that X-Value™ crossed the mark of 150,000 computer-generated valuations per month in July 2017.
In contrast, StreetSine generated 111,452 X-Values in July 2016.
"In a market that transacts less than 10,000 properties per month, crossing the 150,000 mark is highly significant," said Jeremy Lee, Chief Technology Officer, StreetSine. "It supports two observations.
"First, there is widespread adoption of computer-generated valuations by market participants.
"Second, it suggests that interest is heating up in Singapore’s property market. Several property analysts, including a report from Morgan Stanley, suggest that 2018 will be a turnaround year for Singapore property prices. While we will have to wait and see if this turns out to be the case, X-Value indicates that interest in Singapore property is beginning to pick up."
X-Value is a computer-generated appraisal of HDB, private condominiums, and landed properties in Singapore. This service is free to the public and brings greater transparency and efficiency to Singapore’s property markets by facilitating property pricing, valuation inspections and reports, and mark-to-market portfolio management.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is X-Value™?
X-Value™ is computer- generated, real-time appraisal of a home's market value.
Developed with government and private funding, it sources raw data from the nation's most comprehensive property database and instantaneously calculates a single value for any home using best practices methodologies, including comparable market analysis.
How is X-Value™ Calculated?
Using web services, database management techniques, and algorithms, StreetSine computer systems collect published and proprietary pricing information from the property market.
In calculating X-Value™, the computer uses Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) as the primary methodology for estimating the value of an apartment or a landed home. This approach is also known as the Sales Comparison Approach. It is the most common method for pricing a home for the purposes of buying, selling, renting or analyzing it.
CMA evaluates Property Type, Location, Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) Date, Last Contract Date, Tenure, Size, Floor Level, Relevant SRX Price Index, and External Area Value.
