What's Your Property Worth?

Home valuations give you valuable knowledge that can help you plan for the future + make smart decisions. It’s good practice to stay informed about how much equity you have in your home + how much you may be able to borrow against it or sell it for.

Our tool provides a more robust, accurate assessment than you’ll get from the major real estate portals. For the most precise valuation, reach out to discuss a customized Comparative Market Analysis or an appraisal.

What is a Home Valuation?

A home valuation determines the current market value of a residential property. It is crucial for real estate transactions, preventing excessive borrowing + financial losses. When getting a mortgage, the home acts as collateral. If the borrower defaults, the lender may sell the property to recover funds. A thorough home valuation safeguards the lender's ability to recover costs if the mortgage is not fully repaid.
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, + recent sale prices of comparable homes in the neighborhood. It also factors in current market trends + local market conditions. The valuation tool is dynamic + can be influenced by data such as inventory trends, interest rates, + current buyer sentiment.
How Accurate is the Online Home Valuation?

Online home valuations provide a good starting point + offer a general estimate of your property’s worth. However, they may not factor in recent renovations, unique features, historical value, architectural significance, + 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 + use them to conduct a sales comparison. In most cases, an agent will find three homes that have recently sold + are as similar to + located as close to the home being valued as possible. Each one is then analyzed to pinpoint differences between it + 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 + refinances. A lender usually orders a home appraisal + the cost of the appraisal, sometimes up to $500, is paid by the homeowner. An appraiser does a complete visual inspection of the interior + exterior of the home as well as taking into consideration recent sales of similar properties + market trends. The appraiser then compiles a detailed report on the home, including an exterior building sketch, a street map showing the home + any comparable sales, photos of the home + street, an explanation of how the square footage was calculated, + any other relevant information.

Why Is a Valuation Important?

Situations When a Home Valuation May Be Necessary

REFINANCING

Lenders base the amount of their loans on the value of your property + 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.
HOME IMPROVEMENTS

If you’re doing home improvement projects to increase the resale value, you want to make sure you’re not pricing it out of the market. If your home is already priced on the high-end for your neighborhood, making too many improvements could make it more difficult to sell. When you get a valuation, you can see how your home compares with others in the neighborhood + let this guide your home improvement decisions.
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 + 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 + 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 + 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.
