What Is My Home Worth? How We Answer That
One of the first steps in helping you sell your home is answering the question, “What is my home worth?”
How do we determine your home’s resale value? To begin with, we simply need your home address, including city and zip code, entered into our home valuation tool. This gives us your home’s history and specifications and helps us understand where your home is so we can compare it to other homes in the area.
Why Do I Need to Know What My Home Is Worth?
Knowing what your current home is worth helps you and your real-estate agent price your home reasonably. Price it too high, and you won’t have any takers. Price it too low, and you’ll lose out on all of that cash. The goal is to price your home to sell while getting as much for it as you can.
Second, your home’s value helps you evaluate what you can afford when it comes time to buy your next home. Whatever money you make selling your old home can be used towards your next home. Having a home value estimate helps you budget for your new home when you begin looking. It also helps your lender and you work out the details of your new mortgage.
Knowing your home’s value also is important when you aren’t buying or selling. Refinancing, taking out a home equity line of credit, purchasing house insurance and paying property taxes all depend on your home’s value.
