03Agent instructions

$ instructions.txt · replace the {VARIABLES}

> Here are aggregated DVF statistics: {STATS}. Write at most 8 lines describing the trend without extrapolating or valuing any specific property. Flag it if the number of sales is too small to draw conclusions.

04Limits and legal points

DVF lags by several months and excludes some areas (Alsace-Moselle, Mayotte). This is not a property valuation.
