Different sold prices on Pricefinder and RE.com.au

[ChrisA1]

As part of comparing properties on PF, I am looking at properties' sales histories. I happened to go onto RE.com.au to look for photos from a previous sale to find that RE.com.au is quoting a sold price that is $21,000 higher than what PR is quoting. The sales dates on both re.com.au and PF are both the same so it's the same sale!

I thought PF got their sold data through government/'official' channels but I thought it would be false advertising if a property was listed as sold for more than it actually sold for!

Any experience/comments with PF/sold section of re.com.au??

Could be a typing mistake...

Have a look at this one, I highly doubt the REA got that price...

If she did, ill call her now and pay for her flights to sell my property for 1/2 that price!

Excellent! I agree.. agent of the decade there!

Will keep looking, hopefully this is a once off.

Mistakes do occur. I remember one regional auction I attended and the property was sold for about $160k and RE.com and OnTheHouse later showed it sold for high 200's, and not just one wrong digit or any of them switched around. Corrected a few months later. High 200's was believable if you did not know the property. I find the dates often vary depending on who is reporting the details, contract or settlement date. OnTheHouse often shows agent and government sourced info which vary.

Maybe RE.com.au is showing their advertised asking price by mistake, which was negotiated down to the sale price showing on PF.
