Common questions

What is a price guide?

A price guide is an agent's or broker's estimate of what a property is likely to sell for, based on comparable sales — not a guaranteed sale price. Agents' own price guides are sometimes set low to attract more buyers to an auction, which is one reason it pays to get an independent one.

How much over the guide do homes actually sell for?

It varies a lot by suburb and market conditions, but it's common for homes to sell 5-15% above the advertised price guide in a competitive market. That's exactly the gap OfferGuide is built to close — we tell you the range we'd actually pay, not just the advertised guide.

Is OfferGuide really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation to use Bridge Finance for anything afterwards. We do this because most people who get a clear, honest report end up trusting us when they need finance — but the report itself is free either way.

How accurate is the price guide?

It's built from real, recent comparable sales in the area, not an automated algorithm guess. An experienced property analyst reviews the property and the comps personally before it's sent to you. It's still an estimate, not a formal valuation — but it's grounded in actual sales, not a model that's never seen the property.

How is the price report actually put together?

We start with the same professional sales databases the banks and valuers use, and pull the most recent genuinely comparable sales — same suburb, same property type, ideally the same street. Each comparable is adjusted for what makes it different: land size, internal size, bedrooms, condition and street position. We then cross-check against the property’s own sales history, the vendor’s pricing behaviour (like how long it’s been listed and any failed campaigns) and which way the market is moving right now. An experienced property analyst reads the photos and listing history too, because the data alone misses things like renovations and main-road positions.

What goes into a suburb analysis?

Five things, all from real data: price trends (a daily home value index, so we can see if the suburb is heating up or cooling down), rents and gross yield, supply versus demand (how much stock is listed and how long it takes to sell), safety trends from official state crime data, and what governments are planning nearby — zoning changes, transport projects and infrastructure that tend to move prices years later. Then we give you a straight verdict on whether it stacks up for your goal, rather than a pile of charts.

How do you find properties for a buyer brief?

We search across the major listing portals and our professional sales data, filter everything against your brief, and then an analyst manually checks the shortlist — reading the actual listings, photos and floor plans to verify claims like north-facing, renovated or granny-flat potential, which filters alone get wrong. You only get sent properties that genuinely fit, each with a note on why it made the cut and what it’s realistically worth.

Do I have to be a Bridge Finance client?

No. The report is free for anyone about to make an offer. You don't need to use us for your home loan to request one.

How long does it take to get my report?

Usually within the hour during business hours, or by the next business day if you send it after hours or on a weekend. A property specialist prepares each report personally, so it's not instant — but it's fast, and it's checked by a real person before it reaches you.

How do I find out how much a house is worth in Australia?

The most reliable free way is to look at what genuinely comparable homes nearby actually sold for in the last few months — not the advertised guides. That's exactly what an OfferGuide report does: we pull the real comparable sales, adjust for the differences, and give you the price range we'd actually pay. Request one above — it's free.

Why a human-checked report beats an instant estimate

Instant online estimates (like automated valuation models) are fast, but they're built from public records that lag reality by months and can't see the property in person. OfferGuide starts from the same sold-sales data but adds an experienced property analyst who checks the comparable sales against the property's actual condition — what you tell us about the kitchen, the granny flat, or the busy road out front. The result is a price guide grounded in real transactions, reviewed by a person, not just a number generated by a model.

Who uses OfferGuide

Home buyers about to make an offer and want to know they're not overpaying. Investors comparing a shortlist of properties before committing to one. Anyone who's seen an agent's price guide and isn't sure whether to trust it. OfferGuide is free for all of these — you don't need to be a Bridge Finance client to request a report.
