Check Online Estimates (Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, etc.)
-
These tools give a quick ballpark, but they’re based on algorithms and can be off by thousands.

Good for a starting point, not the final answer.

Look at Recent Neighborhood Sales
-
Compare your home to similar homes (size, age, style, condition) that sold in the last 3–6 months.

Remember: list prices show what sellers want — sold prices show what buyers actually paid.

Talk to a Local Real Estate Professional
-
Realtors provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) — a detailed look at recent sales, competition, and market trends.
-
A CMA gives the most accurate picture of your home’s value today.

Get a Professional Appraisal
-
Appraisers are licensed to give formal valuations, often required by banks.

This is usually most helpful once you’re close to selling or refinancing.
