Home valuations give you valuable insight that can help you plan for the future and make confident decisions. It’s smart to stay informed about your home’s equity and understand what you could potentially borrow against or sell it for.
Our tool provides a more robust, accurate assessment than the major real estate portals and works best for homes on less than one acre. Larger tracts of land can vary significantly in value depending on location, improvements, trees, ponds, and other acreage features, so those properties are best evaluated by a local agent.
For the most precise valuation, reach out to discuss a customized Comparative Market Analysis completed by one of our seasoned agents.
A home valuation determines the estimated value of your property by analyzing comparable sales, neighborhood data, and home characteristics. It’s a helpful tool for planning, refinancing, or preparing to sell.
The value of your home is calculated using a combination of factors including its location, age, size, condition, any improvements or renovations made, and recent sale prices of comparable homes in the neighborhood. It also factors in current market trends and local market conditions. The valuation tool is dynamic and can be influenced by data such as inventory trends, interest rates, and current buyer sentiment.
Online home valuations provide a good starting point and offer a general estimate of your property’s worth. However, they may not factor in recent renovations, unique features, historical value, architectural significance, and subjective market perception that could impact your home’s actual market value. For the most accurate assessment, consider scheduling an in-person appraisal.
Two Accurate Ways to Perform Home Valuations
MARKET ANALYSIS
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a tool used by real estate agents to value a home. It evaluates similar homes that have recently sold in the same area. Agents find comparable sales and use them to conduct a sales comparison. In most cases, an agent will find three homes that have recently sold and are as similar to and located as close to the home being valued as possible. Each one is then analyzed to pinpoint differences between it and the home being valued. Once these differences are priced out, the price of each comp is adjusted to see what it would cost if it was identical to the home being valued were it to be sold in the current market.
APPRAISALS
An appraisal is an unbiased valuation of a home based on a professional’s opinion. They are usually what mortgage companies use for home purchases and refinances. A lender usually orders a home appraisal and the cost of the appraisal, sometimes up to $500, is paid by the homeowner. An appraiser does a complete visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the home as well as taking into consideration recent sales of similar properties and market trends. The appraiser then compiles a detailed report on the home, including an exterior building sketch, a street map showing the home and any comparable sales, photos of the home and street, an explanation of how the square footage was calculated, and any other relevant information.
Your home's value depends on several factors, including location, condition, recent comparable sales, and market trends.
