“What's it worth?”: measure the market in 2 minutes — median, range and price levels

Prayk's “What's it worth?” page is for measuring the market before you sell a car or a flat: you pick make, model and year (or deal type, property type, district, rooms and area), and the page shows the median, the middle range and three price levels based on the asking prices of similar listings published in the last 90 days. No sign-in, free of charge. This article is a step-by-step guide, two examples from the 6 October 2026 snapshot and the way to turn the result into a listing price.

What it is for and how it differs from “What's my car worth?”

Prayk has three pricing tools, and they do not replace each other. “What's it worth?” reads market statistics: the median and range of all listings in the segment you choose — say, Hyundai Elantra 2018 or a 2-room flat in Yasamal. “What's my car worth?” and “What's my home worth?” value your specific item instead: they adjust for mileage, engine, body type, floor, renovation and similar differences; we covered them earlier in “What's my car worth?” and “What's my home worth?”. The sensible order is: first see the segment's market on this page, then value your own item, then post the listing.

The selection lists are built only from options with enough listings: as of 6 October the Car tab has 75 makes and 475 models; the year list opens after you pick a model and shows only years with at least 8 listings. On the Real estate tab you pick the deal type (sale, monthly rent, daily rent), property type (apartments, houses and villas, commercial property, garages, rooms), district, then rooms and area. Land plots are deliberately left out — a median without area would be misleading.

Step by step: a two-minute measurement

• 1. Tab and selection. Open the Car or Real estate tab and choose from the lists. The result refreshes by itself after every choice; there is no button to press.
• 2. Result card. The big number is the market asking median; below it you see how many listings it is based on, a precision chip (“By model and year (±1)”, “By district and rooms” and so on) and a reliability chip: 100 or more listings — high, 30–99 — medium, 8–29 — “small sample, use with care”.
• 3. Amber warning. If fewer than 8 listings match your precision, the page falls back to a broader group and says so plainly on the card; the result never changes silently.
• 4. “Your price”. Type your own figure into the field under the form — it appears on the scale next to the market range, with a verdict: below the range, within it or above it, and how many percent off the median.
• 5. Analysis and link. Under the card there is a by-year chart (cars), tables by model, district and number of rooms (click to select) and daily price dynamics. “Copy link” writes the selection into the address: anyone who opens the link sees the same analysis.

How to read the result: examples from 6 October

Car. On 6 October 2026 the result for a Hyundai Elantra 2018 (±1-year window) is: median 22,500 AZN, middle range (P25–P75) 21,500–23,800 AZN, about 310 listings, high reliability. The same page shows what precision changes: without a year the Elantra median across all years is 20,000 AZN (about 1,000 listings), and without a model it is 19,900 AZN for the Hyundai make. So go as deep as you can — the difference is 2,500 AZN. The full table is on the Hyundai Elantra price page.

Flat. Sale · apartments · Yasamal · 2 rooms: median 173,000 AZN, range 150,000–187,000 AZN, about 120 listings; the median per square metre is 2,920 AZN. Enter an area of 65 m² and the page moves to the 55–70 m² band: about 50 listings, median 174,500 AZN, range 155,500–185,000 AZN. The same selection for monthly rent gives 550 AZN/month (450–670). The district table and the dynamics are on the apartments-for-sale price page.

The median is the point where half of the listings are cheaper and half are pricier; it is not an average, so a few inflated listings do not pull it. The P25–P75 range is the “middle half” of the market. The rules are published on the methodology page and in our earlier article: a 90-day window, outliers removed, at least 8 listings, groups never summed.

Which price to list at — and what comes next

The “Pricing strategy” block under the result gives three levels: Competitive (P25 — a quarter of similar listings are cheaper; for a quick sale), Market level (the median — the standard asking price) and Upper bound (P75 — only if the car or flat genuinely stands out). The practical rule: list at the median or slightly above it, leaving room to bargain; a price above the range makes finding a buyer take longer. In the Elantra example, entering 25,000 AZN makes the page show “above the market range, 11% above median”.

Once you have chosen the price, the chain is short: the “Post your listing for free” button on the card takes you to the listing form; there the same market hint — median and range — appears under the price field, and it also takes into account the mileage and engine size you typed into the form. For preparation and paperwork, see our guides: how to sell a car quickly and at the right price, how to set the price when selling a flat and 10 strategies for selling fast with a listing. The overall market picture is in the Cars and Real estate sections.

The condition: the page is not an official valuation; the figures are market asking prices, not actual transaction prices; Prayk is an intermediary — you find the buyer and set the final price. The data is refreshed nightly; the figures in this article are the 6 October 2026 snapshot.
