Online Auction Reserve Price Valuation Tool
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Setting reserve prices for real property assets in online auctions is challenging due to the variability of valuation factors, making it difficult for sellers to protect against selling at low prices.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented system and method that generates a reserve valuation for real property assets by extracting geographical and market information from sellers, using a user interface to solicit asset data, and comparing it with comparable assets to provide a proposed reserve price, allowing sellers to adjust inputs for a tailored valuation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a reserve price is set for real property assets in online auctions, then sellers are protected against selling at low prices, but it becomes difficult to determine an appropriate reserve price due to variability of valuation factors
Solution Approach 1:
The valuation process is segmented into distinct components: geographical information extraction, market information extraction, and comparable asset analysis. Each component is handled separately through automated data collection and processing, breaking down the complex valuation task into manageable segments that can be systematically evaluated
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an automated valuation intermediary that acts as a mediator between the seller and the auction process. This intermediary automatically collects geographical and market data, analyzes comparable assets, and generates a recommended reserve price, eliminating the need for sellers to manually navigate the complex valuation process while still providing reliable price protection
2Productivity
If automated valuation is implemented, then the valuation process becomes more efficient, but the precision of valuation may be reduced due to reliance on extracted data
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the automated valuation results are presented to sellers for review and adjustment. Sellers can provide feedback on the accuracy of extracted geographical and market information, and the system uses this feedback to refine its data extraction and analysis processes, continuously improving both efficiency and precision
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts valuation parameters based on the quality and availability of extracted data. When data quality is high, the system relies more heavily on automated extraction; when data quality is uncertain, the system adjusts by incorporating broader market benchmarks and allowing for greater seller input, thereby maintaining precision while preserving efficiency

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for generating an indicator of value relating to a real property asset is provided. The method includes providing a user interface that includes one or more prompts for soliciting information associated with the real property asset. Data associated with the real property asset is received. Based on the data associated with the real property asset, comparable data associated with one or more comparable assets is determined. An auction reserve price for the real property asset is generated based on the data associated with the real property asset and the comparable data.
