What's Your Property Worth?

Home assessments offer you invaluable insights to strategically prepare for the future and make informed choices. Staying well-informed about your home's equity and its potential for borrowing or selling is a prudent step.

Our tool delivers a more comprehensive and precise evaluation compared to the prominent real estate websites. To obtain the most accurate valuation, don't hesitate to contact us for a personalized Comparative Market Analysis or a professional appraisal.

What is a Home Valuation?

A home valuation establishes the present market worth of a residential property, playing a pivotal role in real estate dealings by averting overborrowing and financial setbacks.

When securing a mortgage, the property serves as collateral. In the event of borrower default, the lender reserves the right to sell the property to recuperate their investments. A comprehensive home valuation is a safeguard ensuring the lender's capacity to recoup expenses should the mortgage not be entirely settled
How is the Valuation of My Home Calculated?

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.
How Accurate is the Online Home Valuation?

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.

How Is a Valuation Performed?

Two Accurate Ways to Perform Home Valuations

MARKET ANALYSIS

Comparative 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

Based on a Professional’s Opinion

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.

Why Is a Valuation Important?

Situations When a Home Valuation May Be Necessary

SELLING

A home valuation estimate is helpful when considering selling. However, the expert opinion of a hyperlocal, experienced Realtor in your area is a requirement when truly understanding your home's market value.
REFINANCING

Lenders base the amount of their loans on the value of your property and usually allow you to borrow a maximum of 75% to 96.5% against your property. Knowing what your home is worth allows lenders to calculate your equity in the home. The more equity you have, the better terms you will receive on your refinance.
QUALIFYING FOR CREDIT

If you want to borrow cash against your home, getting a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) could be a good option. To qualify, you must have a certain level of equity in your home. Most lenders require at least 20%. Getting a home valuation will help you determine if you qualify and will be used by the lender to make a decision on your loan.
PLANNING

Though it’s not a necessity, simply knowing the value of your home is good information to have. It will help you plan for the future and deal with unforeseen circumstances when you might be in a position that requires extra money or a quick relocation. Knowing how much equity you have in your home and how much you may be able to borrow against it or sell it for will help you respond to any financial curveballs that life throws at you.
