Understanding your home’s value gives you powerful insight to help you plan ahead and make confident financial decisions. Staying up to date on your equity is a smart practice - whether you’re considering refinancing, exploring borrowing options, or planning a future sale.
Our valuation tool offers a more accurate and detailed assessment than the estimates you’ll find on the major real estate portals. For the most precise valuation, connect with us for a customized Comparative Market Analysis or a professional appraisal.
A home valuation is an estimate of your property’s current market value. It plays an important role in real estate transactions by helping buyers, sellers, and lenders make informed decisions. For homeowners, it ensures you don’t overextend financially and gives you a clear picture of your equity. For lenders, it provides confidence that the property is worth the amount being borrowed, since the home itself serves as collateral.
Your home’s value is determined by a mix of factors, including its location, size, age, condition, and any upgrades or renovations. Recent sales of comparable homes in your neighborhood also play a key role. Beyond property details, broader market conditions such as inventory levels, interest rates, and buyer demand, help shape the final valuation. Our tool brings all these elements together to provide a dynamic, up-to-date estimate.
Online valuations are a helpful starting point, giving you a general estimate of your property’s value. However, they can’t always account for recent renovations, unique features, architectural details, or local market nuances that may influence your home’s true worth. For the most precise assessment, it’s best to request us to perform a customized Comparative Market Analysis or schedule a professional appraisal.
A Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA, is one of the most effective ways to understand your home’s current market value. We carefully review recently sold properties in your neighborhood that are similar in size, style, and condition to yours. Then analyze the differences, such as upgrades, lot size, or location, to adjust values and provide a realistic estimate of what your home could sell for in today’s market.
An appraisal is an unbiased, professional assessment of your home’s value. Mortgage companies rely on appraisals for both home purchases and refinances, with the lender ordering the appraisal and the homeowner typically covering the cost (often up to $500).
During the process, a licensed appraiser conducts a full visual inspection of the interior and exterior, reviews recent sales of comparable properties, and considers current market trends. The result is a detailed report that may include a property sketch, a map of the home and nearby sales, photos, a breakdown of how square footage was measured, and other supporting data.
When you refinance, lenders use your home’s value to determine how much you can borrow - typically between 75% and 96.5% of its worth. Knowing your current value helps calculate your equity, which is the portion of the home you truly own. The more equity you have, the stronger your position - and the better loan terms you’re likely to receive.
If you’re investing in upgrades to boost resale value, it’s important to make sure your home stays competitive in your neighborhood. Adding too many high-end improvements when your home is already at the top of the market can actually make it harder to sell. A valuation shows how your property compares to others nearby and can help guide smart, value-adding home improvement decisions.
If you’re considering borrowing against your home, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) may be an option. Most lenders require you to have at least 20% equity, and a current valuation will show whether you qualify. That valuation also helps the lender determine how much you can borrow.
Even if you’re not planning to move or refinance in the short term, knowing your home’s value is useful information. It can help you prepare for the future and be ready for unexpected situations - whether needing extra funds or relocating quickly. Understanding your equity and what you could potentially borrow or sell for gives you flexibility to handle life’s financial curveballs with confidence.
