What's your Cairns home worth?
A free, no-obligation property appraisal, sometimes called a home valuation, from a specialist who actually sells in your suburb, with the local data, the right timing, and an honest opinion of value.
Local expertise
Cairns has its own market dynamics, inverted seasonality, a private-treaty buyer pool, and suburb-by-suburb variance that algorithms can't capture. A real local appraisal is the most accurate starting point.
Appraisal vs valuation
A market appraisal is a free estimate of what your home could sell for today. A formal valuation is a paid report from a licensed valuer. For selling, the free appraisal is usually what you need.
No obligation
A real appraisal, not an algorithm guess. No pressure to list, just an honest assessment of your property's value in the current market.
Disclaimer
Appraisal figures are a professional opinion, not a guaranteed sale price. Market conditions can change between appraisal and listing.

Human appraisal vs online estimate
Why a local appraisal beats an instant online estimate
An instant online estimate is a national model applied to your postcode. It is a useful starting point, but it cannot see your renovation, your aspect, your street, or who is actually buying in Cairns right now. A local appraisal can, which is why it is the more accurate number to sell on.
Instant online estimate
- A computer model, averaged across the whole suburb
- Blind to your home's condition, renovations and aspect
- Misses the private-treaty buyer pool and dry-season timing
- Your details are often passed to several agents at once
A local appraisal with Alexie
- Built from recent comparable sales in your street and suburb
- Accounts for your home's actual condition and features
- Reads current Cairns demand and the right time to list
- One person, and your details stay with me
Frequently asked questions
Is a property appraisal really free?
Yes. A market appraisal is free and comes with no obligation to list. It is a professional opinion of your home's likely selling range, based on recent comparable sales and current Cairns market conditions.
What is the difference between an appraisal and a valuation?
An agent appraisal is a free, market-based estimate of what your home could sell for now. A formal valuation is a paid report prepared by a licensed valuer, often for a bank or legal matter. For selling, an agent appraisal is usually what you need.
How much does a property valuation cost in Queensland?
A formal valuation from a licensed valuer typically starts from a few hundred dollars, depending on the property. A market appraisal like the one offered here is free.
How accurate are online home value estimates?
Automated estimates can be a useful rough guide, but they miss suburb-by-suburb variance, your home's actual condition, and the local private-treaty buyer pool. A local appraisal is a more reliable starting point.
Do I have to list my home to get an appraisal?
No. There is no obligation. Many people get an appraisal simply to understand where they stand before deciding what to do next.
