Many homeowners assume the municipal valuation reflects what their property is worth, but it doesn’t. Municipal values are calculated for rates, not market activity.
Gabriel da Matta often clarifies this misconception. “Municipal values don’t consider renovations, condition, charm, demand, or improvements,” he says.
Surdo Prop’s valuations rely instead on real sales data, property condition, suburb trends, and buyer behaviour, the elements that truly drive price.
In the Southern Suburbs, municipal values are frequently far below or well above actual selling prices. The only meaningful valuation is one rooted in current market evidence.
