report description
A Local sales report is ideal when you want to check recent sales activity in your area. A range of search criteria allows you to customise the search so that you can get sales that you are interested in. When you submit your search you will be told the number of sales that match your criteria, so you have the option of refining your search. You can then choose to purchase up to 10, up to 20, or up to 30 sales.
You can search for sales by simply using the standard search criteria (sales within the last 6, 9, 12 or 24 months, sales price range, property type e.g. residential, lifestyle, rural, etc), or you can refine your search further by using the optional advanced criteria (search area options of within the same street, or 500m, 1 km, 5 km, 10 km, or 20 km from the selected property, land type e.g. vacant or improved, land area in either hectares or metres square). For more information about each of the search criteria, click on the search headings on the Local sales search page. The most recent sales will be returned first and only the latest sale on a property is available.
The report displays each sale on a map, along with details including sale date, sale price and capital value at the time of the sale, see sample below.
To get this report you must first search for a property in the area that you want recent sales for. You can then select the Local sales report from the list of available reports.
Notes: The Local sales report only displays sales of properties where QV has linked the property details to a parcel of land. All search areas search a square area that is the selected distance north, south, east and west of the target property. This may result in some sales being slightly more than the selected distance from the target property.
