1 Michael L.  · Waste of time. Wish I could give them 0 stars.
1 Scott L.  · false information – Data for my Suburb In QLD 4677 is wildy innacurate.
1 invicta  · something is seriously wrong! – An 8 unit complex has all very similar units and yet the values vary by a range of $100000, go figure?
1 Danny  · Way off the mark – I sold my house for over 200,000 more than on the house estimate. There’s no way this will ever be useful to anyone.
1 Fraser  · Idiots – Same as. I check recent property sold amount on several houses in the area. Check onthehouse.. values were between 200k under sold price. A joke.
1 Ric  · Poor estimation – Their estimation is way off the scale. Seems to me that their mathematics were taught by PE teachers. Absolutely rubbish !!!

Zero stars for these morons. Bunch of bottom-feeders who behave like a swarm: one platform publishes something, and the rest scrape, mirror, and regurgitate it for years, even when it’s outdated or wrong. Hilarious when the data for the property has been deliberately altered by the owner. What fools!

Don't ever put you faith in Onthehouse, especially relating to your own property – Onthehouse suggested value for my residential property (well the bank still owns a bit), is precisely two thirds of that suggested by several agents in my area, some of whom I have been in touch with over many years (and that I know and trust). Similarly, the one investment property I own in a different location (well the bank once again owns a… Read more

fair bit), is, as far as Onthehouse is concerned, once again shown at precisely two thirds of the value confirmed by several local agents I have again dealt with over years. I have rejected offers on 2 occasions recently from locals, where the first up offers were less than 4% below that which agents suggested would easily be achieveable. I tried to convince Onthehouse about the error of their ways on this over a year ago, yet despite my providing 2 written valuations from agents both living and having their businesses in the area, Onthehouse made all sorts of excuses for leaving their listed valuation at 66% of the value confirmed by local agents and also by 2 prospective buyers, even though the property owned by me since 1999 has not been on the market at all in decades.

False/incorrect information – I searched my land in QLD and found it has been sold. And I have no idea about this. Totally wrong information and would be very bad for my future sales

False estimates AND incorrect data – Two identical properties in the same unit complex are listed differently. Who updates data on this site? If it’s the owner of the property or an agent, I can understand how this may have happened. If it’s the responsibility of Onthehouse, shame on you!

Inaccurate estimate, inaccurate data - staff will only correct data if you list the house – Have a property in QLD which is rented to DHA (Defence Housing), has been rented to DHA on a long term contract from 2007-2022. According to Onthehouse.com.au and CoreLogic who own them and PropertyValue, the house is rented for $435/wk, when presented with a rental certificate from DHA stating a much higher rent being paid. Onthehouse refuse to… Read more

correct the data and are happy to actively present false data.

Have a property in NSW, which is a 4br, 250m2 house (OnTheHouse have this information) in a 'newish' estate (2019), houses all around on the street are estimated at between 900-1,100 and being compared to recent sales in the neighbourhood and a nearby new neighbourhood, some houses slightly worse, some houses slightly better - our property is being compared to a nearby recently sold block of empty land (600,000)... The Median estimate for houses in the area is 900,000.

I pose a question to anyone using Onthehouse.com.au - given the above (I have others) and that Onthehouse actively refuse to correct data when presented with facts, why would you ever rely on anything the site states...

Well laid out and accessible website with fairly accurate data – I use this site to keep an eye on markets I am invested in or looking to invest in. The site is well laid out, and factual, I have to say I am amazed by the negative reviews and that is solely my reason for leaving a review today. Keep in mind that numbers are calculated based on similar properties that are not a valuation. They are a ball park… Read more

figure based on averages of similar properties. If your property is unique or that is insufficient data they will still give you a number that there algorithm spits out, but don't expect it to be accurate it is just an estimate or a guess. If that data was not recorded correctly by the real estate agent or government agency, well you need to take that up with them, these guys don't control that stuff so no point even calling them. Also, prices are highly subjective for property. What you have spent $1 million on might be worth $5 Million to an investor but only $750k to a random family, not to mention all the micro and macroeconomic factors in providing a price, if no one can get a loan your house may be worth $250k. Expecting a free website to give you an exact, real time up to date and accurate number is just nuts. That being said, what you will see in the next few years as AI and data sources improve you will theoretically be able to do this but personally I would be charging big bucks for such a service and not giving it away for advertising revenue.

Fantastic site to annoy deluded and greedy vendors – This site is hilarious. So many errors! They regularly overvalue properties in my neighbourhood by over 10% (as at June 2019). OnTheHouse estimated 8 Shady Grove, Nunawading was worth $855,000. It sold on the weekend for $767,000. 18 Heather Grove, Nunawading was valued at $1.2m. It sold for under $900k. But I'm not sure what is funnier - the… Read more

bad valuations or the reviews here from people who believe their house is somehow worth significantly more than land value. Houses are a depreciating asset, no different to a car. And although land normally appreciates, this hasn't happened since late 2017. Your house and land have both tanked and neither are going up for few years to come.

And by the way, interest rates going down are not a good sign for the property market. They are a sign that the economy is going backwards. I hope you all still have your jobs once the recession hits. It will be the first since the 1980s, but it is coming.

Useful for what it is – I find this useful when checking previous sales price history. Of course it isn't going to be an exact valuation - valuations are subjective and constantly changing!

Valuable Free Property Data – I’m looking for specific property but can’t able to take a decision to buy as I need to research for suburbs, surrounding areas, recently sold data etc. I searched other real estate site but seems some valuable data is covered in paid subscription report. But by adding some effort on Onthehouse.com.au data and cross-domain researched data I made a… Read more

decision to buy a property. And after purchasing property and talked with other people and real estate agent I realise its worth to do research on onthehouse.com.au instead of buying paid report.

Must Read – Please be cautious of the information provided on this webpage, as it seems unreliable. The market value of properties in the Boston Road area cannot be accurately determined by comparing two neighboring properties with vastly different characteristics—one resembling a granny house and the other featuring a contemporary design. Factors such as the… Read more

year of build, built-up area, new additions with council approvals, and recent renovations to the modern house are not appropriately reflected in the current market values. It raises concerns about whether there might be a private fee involved to attract customers while remaining clandestine.

Not to be believed – Yes I know, they just mine data available elsewhere, but when I queried how a property I own had an estimated value of $1.3m to $1.4m on 1 December 2023 (received email from onthehouse.com.au) then on 1 January 2024 received another email from same place on same property but this time estimated value of $1.2m to $1.3m. I sent an email inquiry on… Read more

this change, but received no plausible explanation from CoreLogic (where my original inquiry was spun off to)… I did get emails back but not a plausible explanation. In a rising market, in the space of 1 month (1 December to 1 January) estimated value dropped $100,000. In my opinion 1 December estimated value more true. Be interesting to see if changes again in next few months. Algorithmic estimates not worth publishing.

Inaccurate – House was valued at $1.5m (high range) and sold for $2.4m. Prior to sale, I contacted them to change the specs of the house (they listed it as a 4x1 but it was a 4x2 and they never made the change.

Add to earlier review – Adding to my earlier review as I had explained the property they advised can not be sold they refuse to remove even when I explained I had someone come to my property asking to see they knocked on my door the main residence was up for sale over seven years ago.this company has to be held accountable for giving out private addresses with false information

Be careful when listing your property photos and your address they refuse to remove – This company will NOT remove details of you property even years after your property was listed any agent you deal with they get the information have had. I contact with this company at all they just get information form agent and list on their web page also giving false information of value of property Be careful

Missleading and inaccurate – Their valuations are baseless, no reseach is conducted and false information can be very damaging to the potential vendor. They should be band from the internet.

Information given about property is wrong – My property land size is significantly larger than the on the house description. Their valuation is significantly less than what my property is worth. Yet there seems to be no way of getting them to correct their information. Potentially this could effect a sale of my property. They should not be allowed to do this and get away with it.

FALSE INFORMATION – Information about property I own has incorrect sale price and date of sale listed. Quite inaccurate. Contacted them and refuse to correct it

False information – The information you have listed about MY OWN property to the public is false. Who knows where you pulled the sale date and information you have although coming from the owner of the property doesn’t match up to the correct sale of this property so please in future if you are going to post someones information on a public forum at least get your information you are providing people with correct.

CoreLogic will not deal with vendors – I have asked CoreLogic to remove the Off Market for their On The House website for my property which is currently for sale. They will not deal with vendors - they will only deal with agents. I have shown them my property is on the market and is for sale. They can see this if they google it. I advised I will let them know once property is sold. … Read more

This is a fabulous website. I love using it to work out real estate values and valuations on properties as they are fairly accurate. The LOGIC in their CORE business makes no sense. Dealing with them was quite difficult. Whilst they claim their information is accurate, they can see my property is on the market - yet it is still listed on their website as off market. Therefore their information is not accurate.

Really weird valuations – After next door sold for $3m my house was valued at $1.8 to 2m. It is now valued at $1.3 to 1.4m. How can that be? Totally illogical. I think it must be calculated through some weird algorithm.

Out of touch with the area – Williamstown was rated 2.8 for liveability is totally absurd out of touch with reality and misleading.

within 3 -5 min drive 4 primary schools and 3 high school campuses. Transport - a number of bus services to city and Melbourne suburbs in 5 min walking distance. Train station is 2 min drive or 10 min walk which goes to the city. Walking distance to beach is 15 mins and 5 mins by car. All the above are walkable. Deal with facts not guessing.

Nothing more than agent clickbait – Pricing always way under to encourage response and connection with agents, shame really could be good but this kind of poor advice means buyers woefully overestimate and waste time and sellers get frustrated entertaining dreamers

Useless site – Not at all helpful if you want to check previous house sales. Obviously designed to get you to contact a real estate agent. I am not interested in dealing with "agents".

What has happened to onthehouse? – This website seems to have morphed into an advertising platform for real estate agents. When I attempted to look up previous sale prices for a sold property, there was no relevant information, just a promotion for the agent who had sold it.

Estimated values very inaccurate – Property value estimate for house I'm interested in was ~10% below what it sold for 5 years earlier - and the average annual increase in value was 5-10% in that suburb!

Inaccurate estimate – Simply inaccurate estimate and unreliable. If contacted for explanation, they say it is done by complex algorithm, but the accuracy and reliability of the algorithm is questionable if we look at the estimated value of the houses that sits on the same street published on their website.

On the nose! – Simply inaccurate! I looked up my Two Sydney properties and the info is so wrong “ I wonder if they make it all up? It would be difficult to give realistic estimates in this climate so why even bother.
