When a homeowner decides to sell their home, one of the first things they want to know is how much their home is worth. The truth is that the value is found by looking at a number of factors. When you work with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, our experienced agents can give you an accurate idea of the value of your home. We’ll also provide a free home value report so you can see for yourself how the numbers add up.
- We’ll start with our ProValue Estimate
- A price history of your home
- Comparable sales in your neighborhood
- A snapshot of your local market
Lenders across the country create estimates of what a home is worth when they extend loans to potential buyers. Our ProValue Estimate is created using the same technology those lenders use. If you want a truly accurate estimate that’s not just a stab in the dark, then this is the estimate you’re looking for.
We’ll also give you full details on the price history of your home. This includes the amount that your home was sold for when it was sold and how much the tax assessor believes your home is worth. In many areas throughout California, home prices are on the rise so this would be a starting point – not an accurate idea of what your home is worth today.
Next, we’ll look at similar homes in your neighborhood and what they sold for. If there aren’t any that are exact matches to the general square footage, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, etc. then we’ll find the closest we can and discuss how we can adjust your home’s selling price accordingly. For example, if a home down the street had two fewer bathrooms than your home, then we’d look at the price it sold for but adjust yours upward to account for the extra bathrooms.
Finally, our free home value report will give you comprehensive details on sales prices within your ZIP code. This will include homes that sold in recent months, how much they sold for, how much the asking price was, and how long they were on the market. You can sit down with us to discuss these details and figure out a good place to position your home when you put it on the market.
