Overview

Vrai-Prix iOS brings Quebec's transparent property-valuation engine to the iPhone as a fully native SwiftUI app. It consumes the production API — 3,747,008 assessment units and 745,119 real sales, MdAPE 11.0% — with no embedded data: the Vrai-Prix server remains the single source of truth.

The Estimate tab pairs a debounced FTS5 address autocomplete with the complete estimate: value, P10–P90 range, A–D confidence grade, the 65% hedonic / 35% comparables fusion, a 2021→2026 price history drawn with Swift Charts, and the property's assessment-roll characteristics. Every comparable shows its dollar adjustments — market conditions, living area, age — and its adjusted price: the engine's full transparency, faithful to the website.

A MapKit tab searches by location with nearby properties and preview cards; a Manual tab estimates from municipality, type, and optional characteristics without an exact address; and a Reports tab renders the standard 3-page PDF or the 6-page bank-grade professional report in a PDFKit viewer with sharing. The app carries the site's editorial-sharp identity — paper, ink, vivid red — with embedded Space Grotesk, Inter, and JetBrains Mono.

Key Features

Address search & full estimate

Debounced FTS5 autocomplete straight to the complete estimate: value, P10–P90 range, A–D confidence grade, and the hedonic/comparables fusion.

Dollar-adjusted comparables

Every comparable displays its adjustments — market conditions, area, age — and its adjusted price. Total transparency, faithful to the engine.

Map-based search

MapKit search with nearby properties, geolocation, and preview cards carrying the 2026 estimate — one tap from pin to full valuation.

Price history in Swift Charts

The property's 2021→2026 estimated-value trajectory, drawn natively — the market's path, not just today's number.

PDF reports

Standard 3-page and professional 6-page bank-grade reports rendered by the production API, viewed in PDFKit and shared from the phone.

Editorial-sharp design

The site's identity ported natively: paper, ink, vivid red accents, hard offset shadows, uppercase display type, and mono micro-labels.

How It Works

  1. Stay thin, stay honest

    No embedded data and no local model: the app is a native window onto the production valuation engine, so phone and website never disagree.

  2. Search, then estimate

    Debounced FTS5 autocomplete resolves the address; one call returns the full estimate with range, confidence grade, comparables, and roll characteristics.

  3. Search by map when the address is unknown

    MapKit surfaces nearby properties with preview estimates; the Manual tab covers municipality + type + characteristics without an exact address.

  4. Report like a professional

    The server renders the same 3-page and 6-page PDFs as the website; the app displays them in PDFKit and hands them to the share sheet.

  5. Prove it end to end

    Three XCUITests run against the production API — search → estimate, map → pin → card → estimate, and manual estimate — with screenshots generated automatically.
