How the Mountain View valuation tool works
What is the Mountain View Multi-AI Home Valuation Tool?
The Mountain View Multi-AI & 3-Portal AVM tool is a free home-valuation instrument from Equitas Homes. It benchmarks three real-estate portal estimates — a live Zillow Zestimate (via Bridge Interactive) alongside Redfin and Homes.com — against a three-model AI appraisal panel (Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic Claude) reasoning over local MLS comparables. It then applies Mountain View Measure G (a progressive city transfer tax on sales of $4M and above) plus the Santa Clara County $1.10-per-$1,000 documentary transfer tax and a 1% listing fee to show a seller's true net equity.
3-Portal AVM Benchmarking
Cross-checks a live Zillow Zestimate (via Bridge Interactive) with Redfin and Homes.com figures against MLS comparable sales, so your Mountain View value reflects several independent models — not a single black-box estimate.
Multi-AI Comparative Market Engine
Three independent AI appraisers — Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic Claude — each weigh Mountain View comparables for proximity, recency, size, and lot nuances, then reconcile to a defensible range with the adjustment math shown.
Real Net Equity Calculation
Instantly deducts Mountain View Measure G (a progressive city transfer tax on sales of $4M and above) plus the Santa Clara County $1.10-per-$1,000 documentary transfer tax and models a 1% Equitas listing fee against a traditional 2.5–3%, so you see the equity you actually keep — not just a headline price.

Mountain View
Mountain View sellers pay the county documentary transfer tax ($1.10 per $1,000). Under Measure G, a progressive city transfer tax applies to sales of $4,000,000 and above: 0.33% up to $4M, 0.75% on the portion from $4M–$10M, and 1.5% above $10M. Most single-family sales below $4M owe only the county rate. Allocation is negotiable.
