Maybe you're thinking of selling, maybe you're thinking of refinancing, or maybe you're just curious about the market. But the question is, "What is that domicile of your's worth?”
Such a simple question should be returned with a simple answer, right? Well unfortunately, determining the value of your home--or any home for that matter--can be a tricky process. You can go online and nowadays there are endless websites that will promise you a fast answer with fancy charts and graphs. As tempting as it may be to trust this information, be wary of letting a computer program tell you what your largest investment is worth. Every neighborhood has its own nuances which can affect value, and a knowledgeable expert is what you need.
The trouble with these websites (yes, I'm talking about Zillow, Trulia, really anyone who says give me an address and I'll give you a magic value number) is that they have little to no local market information. They are not aware that a new park is being built, or that a four-lane highway is being re-routed, that highly rated school families are clamoring to get in, or that you've lovingly cared for and maintained your home.
The bottom line is this: If you're serious about getting an informative valuation for your home you should contact a local real estate professional ~ me. We professionals work with the actual people who will ultimately determine the value of your home--the home buyer themselves. This is our profession and I am happy to sit with you and explain the current market conditions that affect your home value. The best part? I do this as a complimentary service. No fees. Free market knowledge. Sounds like a no-brainer.
