Some info on that page, then click on your property type to see a lot more.
Thanks for the link. The theory is clear enough, but i really want to know the variables underlying "quality" and "influences," and how they factor them all together. "Influences" isn't a variable. "View" is not quantifiable. How do they actually turn the subjective factors into input?

The fact that the actual process is explained only in general terms, combined with the fact that there are 100s of thousands of properties in Calgary alone, means there's 100% a computer model that the people who use it don't understand. And that model definitely has factors and multipliers built into it that were invented by some grad student in 1996 that have no basis in reality.

"Trust us, it's accurate. Want to complain? Pay us and we'll maybe override the model this year."
