The most important question when selling your home. How do you find out? you could go to Zillow.com, But is that accurate? Licensed Appraisors that estimate home value for the banks, estimate that zillow is off about 10 % & more if the data they use ( the tax assessment) is wrong. Many real estate assessment records don't even list your bathrooms or garage. I have even seen some that have 0 bedrooms! Now on a 400,000 property, thats $40,000 add the garage and you have lost $60,000 or more! The best answer is to ask your local real estate specialist. A local real estate agent knows what recent homes sold for, they know what buyers want & they know what buyers won't pay. Most agents will give you a free value of your home. You need a real person to guide you through & answer the many complex questions invoved in selling a home today. In many areas of the country inventory of homes for sale is high, & the competiton is fierce an agent can help "stage" your home to make it more appealing & raise the home's value.
