    Visual AI-Enhanced Property Valuation

    For appraisers and lenders valuing 1000+ properties monthly. Enhance valuations with visual analysis. 15% improvement in accuracy, 50% faster turnaround.

    Who It's For

    Appraisal management companies, lenders, and real estate investors who need accurate, efficient property valuations at scale

    Problem Solved

    Traditional automated valuation models use only transaction data, missing visual condition factors. Appraisers cannot visit all properties, leading to valuation errors

    Why Mixpeek

    15% improvement in valuation accuracy, 50% faster turnaround, and objective condition assessment from photos

    Overview

    Property condition significantly impacts value but is hard to assess remotely. This use case shows how Mixpeek enhances valuations with visual analysis.

    Challenges This Solves

    Condition Assessment

    Cannot assess condition from transaction data alone

    Impact: AVMs miss renovation and deferred maintenance factors

    Appraisal Backlogs

    Physical inspections create bottlenecks

    Impact: Loan closing delays, lost deals

    Subjectivity

    Different appraisers rate condition differently

    Impact: Inconsistent valuations for similar properties

    Rural/Remote Properties

    Physical inspection impractical for distant properties

    Impact: Higher costs, longer timelines

    Implementation Steps

    Mixpeek analyzes property photos to assess condition, quality, and features, enhancing traditional AVMs with visual intelligence

    1

    Analyze Property Photos

    Extract condition and quality signals

    import { Mixpeek } from 'mixpeek';
    

    const client = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: process.env.MIXPEEK_API_KEY });
    

    // Analyze property photos for valuation
    async function analyzePropertyCondition(propertyId: string, photos: string[]) {
      const analysis = await client.realestate.analyzeCondition({
        property_id: propertyId,
        photos: photos,
        assessments: [
          'overall_condition',    // C1-C6 rating
          'quality_grade',        // Q1-Q6 rating
          'kitchen_condition',
          'bathroom_condition',
          'flooring_condition',
          'roof_visible_condition',
          'curb_appeal',
          'deferred_maintenance',
          'recent_updates'
        ]
      });
    

      return {
        condition_rating: analysis.overall_condition,
        quality_rating: analysis.quality_grade,
        room_assessments: analysis.by_room,
        value_adjustments: analysis.suggested_adjustments,
        confidence: analysis.confidence
      };
    }

    Enhance AVM with Visual Data

    Integrate visual signals into valuation model

    // Enhanced valuation with visual analysis
    async function getEnhancedValuation(property: {
      address: string;
      photos: string[];
      property_data: object;
    }) {
      // Get visual condition assessment
      const visual = await analyzePropertyCondition(property.address, property.photos);
    

      // Get base AVM value
      const baseAVM = await getBaseAVMValue(property.address, property.property_data);
    

      // Apply visual adjustments
      const enhanced = await client.realestate.enhanceValuation({
        base_value: baseAVM.value,
        condition_rating: visual.condition_rating,
        quality_rating: visual.quality_rating,
        adjustments: visual.value_adjustments,
        comparable_photos: baseAVM.comparables.map(c => c.photos)
      });
    

      return {
        estimated_value: enhanced.value,
        confidence_range: enhanced.confidence_interval,
        visual_adjustment: enhanced.value - baseAVM.value,
        adjustment_factors: enhanced.factors
      };
    }
    3

    Generate Valuation Reports

    Create documented valuation with visual evidence

    // Generate visual valuation report
    async function generateValuationReport(propertyId: string) {
      const valuation = await getEnhancedValuation(propertyId);
      const visual = await analyzePropertyCondition(propertyId);
    

      return {
        subject_property: {
          address: valuation.address,
          estimated_value: valuation.estimated_value,
          confidence: valuation.confidence_range
        },
        condition_analysis: {
          overall: visual.condition_rating,
          room_by_room: visual.room_assessments,
          evidence_photos: visual.annotated_photos
        },
        adjustment_breakdown: valuation.adjustment_factors,
        comparable_analysis: valuation.comparables.map(c => ({
          address: c.address,
          sale_price: c.price,
          visual_similarity: c.visual_match_score
        }))
      };
    }
