How Can I Get My Home Value?

There are many ways to find out how much your home is worth.

A Realtor is typically the best place to start, because they have the tools neccessary to make an informed assesment of your property. Typically they may provide a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis).

You can also try looking up your house on Zillow, but I've heard a lot of complaints about the Zestimate being inaccurate.

A lot of people will go to their county website for the info. Here's mine www.bcpa.net. When you search your county tax appraiser's website, sometimes that information is also mis-leading. Most of the time, I find that homes typically appraise for higher than what the county assesses them for.

Perhaps the best way to get the true value of your house is to hire an appraiser. It make cost 300 - 400 dollars, but it's a valuable tool when trying to sell your house, whether you are using a Realtor or not.

It may even save you money in the long run.
