Free home value report
What’s my home worth?
A real number from a local REALTOR®, based on the homes that actually sold near you, not an online algorithm.
- Recent sales of similar homes near you, adjusted for the differences
- The homes you’d be competing with right now
- A pricing strategy for your timeline and goals
- Free, with no obligation to list
Thank you.
Your home value request is in. I’ll start on your comparative market analysis and reach out within one business day to confirm a few details.
How I price a home
Four steps to a number you can trust
Learn the home
Size, layout, bedrooms and baths, the basement, the garage and the lot, plus every update and renovation you’ve made.
Find the right sales
Recent sales of similar homes nearby, usually from the last six months, on comparable streets.
Adjust for differences
No two homes are the same. I adjust for condition, finishes, size, lot and location so the comparison is fair.
Check the competition
The homes for sale right now are the ones buyers will compare yours to, so they shape the strategy as much as the sales do.
Three numbers, three purposes
Assessment, online estimate and market value
- City assessment
- Set for property tax. It estimates market value as of July 1 of the previous year, using mass appraisal of every home in the city.
- Online estimate
- A formula based on public records and recent sales. Quick, but it can’t see inside your home or tell a renovated kitchen from a dated one.
- Market value
- What a buyer will pay today. It comes from comparable sales and current competition, adjusted for your home’s condition and features.
- Appraisal
- A lender’s independent opinion of value when a buyer gets a mortgage. A well-priced listing makes the appraisal much easier.

Home value FAQ
Is the home value report really free?
Yes. There’s no cost and no obligation to list with me. It’s the same comparative market analysis I’d prepare before listing a home.
How is this different from an online estimate?
Online estimates run on formulas and public records. They can’t see your renovations, your view, your basement or the condition of your home. I look at the actual homes that sold near you and adjust for the differences.
Why isn’t my home worth its City assessment?
The City’s assessment estimates market value as of July 1 of the previous year, for property tax, and it uses mass appraisal rather than a look inside your home. It can be higher or lower than what your home would sell for today.
How long does it take?
Usually one to two business days. I may call to confirm a few details first, such as updates, finishes and the basement.
Will you come see the home?
If you’d like. A walk-through makes the number more accurate, especially if you’ve renovated, but it isn’t required for a first estimate.
