Property Proof vs HonestDoor: What Each One Shows

HonestDoor is built around automated home value estimates and price data. Property Proof is built around the property's documented record: permits, zoning, flood mapping, and infrastructure context from official municipal and provincial sources. They do different jobs, and many buyers use both: HonestDoor to sanity-check price, Property Proof to check the records before writing an offer.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Property Proof provides a permit timeline with Closed, Open, Expired, or Unknown status classification, zoning with a plain-language explanation, official flood mapping checks, fire and sewer infrastructure context, and a parcel-confirmed title summary for Alberta addresses. Valuation is explicitly out of scope: records only, no opinions of value. HonestDoor's core feature is a free automated price estimate for most Canadian homes with price history; permit data appears for some properties, and zoning, flood, and title context are not its focus.

When You Need a Property History Report

Price tells you what a home costs. Records tell you what you're inheriting. An open building permit, a flood hazard designation, or a zoning surprise can affect insurance, financing, renovation plans, and resale. None of that shows up in a price estimate. Property Proof compiles those records for residential addresses in 14 Canadian markets, delivered in under a minute as a shareable report for $49 CAD.
