Most valuation models have never been to Sacramento.Ours has never been anywhere else.
A national model has to price Tulsa and Tampa with the same arithmetic. Every closed sale in Sacramento County fuels our model — which is why it can tell Meadowview from Citrus Heights — same median price today, not the same momentum.
Every one valued using only the comparable sales that existed on the day it closed — because valuing a house with sales that happened afterwards is how a model flatters itself.
Sacramento is priced by people. Appraisers who put their name on it. Agents who have walked the block and know which house on it was never really for sale. Investors betting their own money on the number.
None of that judgment should be replaced, and we are not trying to. We are trying to give it better ground to stand on.
The afternoon you spend pulling comps, already done — every recorded sale in the county considered, the best ones bracketed and ranked, every adjustment shown with the math behind it. Defensible enough to sign your name under, fast enough to change your turn times.
Walk into the listing appointment with the number and the evidence behind it. Enter the price the seller has in mind and find out honestly whether the comparables will carry it — before you commit to it in front of them.

The valuation model is live and running against Sacramento listings today. We are opening it to a small group of working appraisers and agents before general release.
What we want in return is your judgment: run the workups on properties you already know, and tell us where the number is wrong. That feedback is worth more to us than anything we can measure ourselves. Full access, no cost, no commitment.
You know the block. Which listing has been quietly shopped twice, which agent returns calls, what the house on the corner actually went for and why it went for that. You are the person a family tells the truth to — and the one who has to name a price anyway.
That instinct was earned walking houses, not read off a screen. You deserve a tool that sharpens it rather than argues with it.
You are the valuation. The one independent judgment in a room where everyone else has a stake in the number, and the reason an underwriter is willing to lend against a house nobody at the bank will ever see. It is careful, unglamorous work that every loan quietly rests on.
You deserve a tool that takes it as seriously as you do.
