The image is illustrative; this is a condo. This walkthrough shows how to read the report, and whether it predicted a later sale is a separate test.
1 · Read the score
A relative position
4.1 / 10
Around the median
Ranks above about 41% of comparable homes in Chicago, IL for appreciation potential.
This compares the home with its market. A 4.1 score does not mean 4.1% appreciation or a 41% chance of making money.
2 · Read the limits
Confidence and coverage
high confidence
This home’s market has its own reference set, the one the score and its measured results were built on.
Neighborhood-level data was limited — scored using broader local-market context at reduced confidence
Read both together: the overall tag is high, but the saved coverage note flags limited neighborhood data and reduced confidence in that local context.
3 · Compare the evidence
