How Much Is Your Home Worth?
What Is Your Property Worth?
Understanding your home’s value is key to making informed financial decisions—whether you're thinking of selling, refinancing, or simply planning for the future. Keeping track of your equity puts you in control.
Our valuation tool offers a more accurate, data-driven estimate than the major real estate sites. For the most precise pricing, let’s connect for a personalized Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) or a professional appraisal.
-
A home valuation estimates the current market value of your property. It plays a critical role in real estate transactions by helping ensure fair pricing, responsible borrowing, and financial protection for all parties.
When you apply for a mortgage, your home serves as collateral. If the loan isn’t repaid, the lender may need to sell the property to recover the loan. A professional valuation helps protect both you and the lender by ensuring the home’s value supports the loan amount.
-
Your home’s value is based on several key factors—its location, size, age, condition, and any upgrades or renovations. Recent sales of similar homes in your area also play a big role.
In addition, the valuation considers current market trends, local inventory levels, interest rates, and buyer demand. Since the market is always changing, regularly checking your home’s value is a proactive step to stay informed and make confident decisions.
-
Online home valuation tools can give you a helpful estimate of your property’s worth—but they often miss important details. Factors like recent upgrades, unique features, architectural style, or historical significance may not be fully captured.
For the most accurate and reliable assessment, a personalized valuation or in-person appraisal is always recommended.
HOW IS A HOME VALUATION PERFORMED?
Whether you're planning to sell, refinance, or simply want to know where you stand, getting an accurate estimate of your home's value is key. Below are two trusted methods: a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and a Home Appraisal. Here's what each one involves:
Market Analysis
A CMA is a professional estimate of your home’s value based on recent sales of similar properties in your area. I compare key factors like size, condition, upgrades, and location to help you price your home competitively—or make a smart offer as a buyer.
Appraisal
A home appraisal is a professional estimate of your property’s value—usually required by lenders during a purchase or refinance. A licensed appraiser inspects the home, compares it to recent sales, and provides a detailed report.
Appraisals are ordered by the lender, but typically paid for by the homeowner.
