is by consulting a professional. Many appraisers will charge at minimum $500 to give you a reasonably accurate home price estimate. Let me help you: Do you know there’s a simple way that’s 100% free? As an agent, I have access to the same information. I’d be happy to put together a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for your home!
The CMA will provide you with the following:
• Detailed information on each house sold in your area during the last six months, along with the final sale prices. If you are thinking of selling, this will help you price your home realistically. • Detailed information on all houses for sale in your area and their asking price. These homes are your competition. Skip ahead to the end of the book if you would like more information on how to request a free home valuation. Do your own homework: There’s a free way of getting a decent valuation of your home, but it’s risky and time-consuming. It's not from Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, etc. You can use the internet to scout other homes that are for sale in your area, and narrow them down to those that are similar to yours. The prices on these homes can often give you a good benchmark for setting your own price.
