2. Professional Appraisal A real estate appraisal provides an objective valuation based on: • Property type (e.g., single-story, multi-level, factory- built) • Structural materials and design • Improvements made • Comparable home sales • Neighborhood and zoning • Property age and size • General condition and depreciation A professional appraisal typically costs between $600 and $900 but provides a reliable estimate for pricing and mortgage lending purposes.

3. Current Market Analysis by a Real Estate Professional

Real estate agents offer free market analyses using recent sales data, current listings, and professional insights. This method provides a more accurate estimate than online tools and helps in setting a competitive listing price.

Condition and Market Trends Matter

While location is fixed, property upgrades and maintenance significantly impact value. A well-maintained home with modern updates can command a higher price. Market trends—such as buyer demand and local economic conditions—also influence pricing.
