Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fair Price Check decide if a listing is overpriced?
We extract the listing details (size, bedrooms, location, features, asking price) and look up comparable Samaná properties from our database. We then compute an estimated market value using the median price per square metre of those comparables, adjusted for property condition and premium features (pool, ocean view, generator, etc.). If the asking price is within 10% of the estimate it is Fairly Priced; more than 10% under is a Bargain; more than 10% over is Overpriced.
Why does this only work for Samaná listings?
Our comparable property database and pricing benchmarks are calibrated for the Samaná peninsula (Las Terrenas, Samaná town, Las Galeras, El Limón, Cosón, Playa Bonita, Punta Popy, El Portillo). For other Dominican Republic markets, paste the URL into the full Analyze tool on the homepage — it covers nationwide listings with a broader benchmark dataset.
How accurate is the estimate?
It depends on how many comparables we have for that city + bedroom count. When 10 or more comparables match we mark the verdict High Confidence and narrow the range to actual market spread. With 5–9 comparables you get Medium Confidence. With fewer than 5 we fall back to verified Samaná price-per-sqm benchmarks (Low Confidence). The verdict is always a data-driven estimate, not a professional appraisal.
What if the asking price could not be read from the listing?
You can type the asking price in manually after the listing is analyzed and we will recompute the verdict on the spot. The estimated value and comparables are still shown either way.
Which listing sites work?
Any public listing URL from supported Dominican Republic real estate sites — Century 21 DR, SuperCasas, Corotos, RE/MAX DR, Properstar, Lamudi, Sotheby’s, Encuentra24, and individual agency sites. Pages behind a login wall or that require interaction (popups, captchas) cannot be scraped.
This tool produces a data-driven estimate, not a professional appraisal. The verdict depends on the listing data we can extract and the comparables we have for that city + property type. Actual fair value depends on exact micro-location, finishes, title status, and current market conditions — always verify with a licensed agent or appraiser before transacting.
