When you see a property on Stake tagged as Below-Market Value, it means the listing price is lower than comparable properties currently listed on third-party platforms such as PropertyFinder.
How is this determined?
Our team reviews active listings on third-party property platforms to identify comparable properties — based on location, size, and type — and compares those current asking prices to the price at which the property is available on Stake. Where the Stake price comes in lower, the property is tagged as Below-Market Value.
This approach reflects what similar properties are being listed for right now, giving you a real-time pulse on where this property stands relative to today's market.
How does this differ from the valuation report?
Each property on Stake also comes with a third-party valuation report, which you can access directly on the listing. Valuation reports are based primarily on completed transactions — actual sales that have taken place — and are conducted by independent, licensed valuers.
The two are complementary:
The valuation report provides a formal assessment grounded in historical transaction data, typically over a longer lookback period.
The Below-Market Value tag reflects current listing comparables, giving a more immediate view of where the market is today.
We encourage you to review both when evaluating a property.
What should I keep in mind?
Listing prices on third-party platforms represent asking prices, not completed sales. Market conditions can change, and the gap between listing prices and transaction prices can vary. As with all property investments, we recommend reviewing the full information available on each property before making a decision.
