Property Status

Why it works

25 years of real-world evidence

Built from more than 1,500 actual buys and sells, James Home Ratings is based on patterns we have seen repeatedly in the Melbourne property market.

The three fundamentals Price, Property, Position

Every home is assessed through Position, Property and Price, focusing on the factors that influence demand, liveability and long-term value.

Less emotion, more clarity

Beautiful styling, a great kitchen or auction pressure can influence a decision. The rating brings the focus back to the underlying strengths, weaknesses and risks of the property.

Quality and price considered together

A great home can still be a poor buy at the wrong price. The rating considers not only the quality of the property, but whether the price being paid makes sense.

Know your A, B and C Grade

A-Grade properties are rare, proven and consistently in demand. B-Grade properties can perform well when bought smartly. C-Grade properties carry greater risk and can be harder to recover value from.

A score that means something

The 1,000-point score provides a clear benchmark. 800+ is exceptional, 700 is above average, 600 is typical for many Inner Melbourne homes, while 500 indicates there are serious issues to consider.
