What Is My Home Worth?

Pull estimates from three sources, adjust for your home’s condition, and arrive at a realistic number — or skip the tools entirely and ask us directly.

Not a numbers person? That’s completely fine. We can give you an honest, realistic price based on the actual market — no spreadsheets needed. Reach Out
Step 01

Pull Estimates from Three Sources

No single tool is perfectly accurate. Enter what Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com say about your home and we’ll average them into one starting number.

Keep in mind — Home values have dropped approximately 5% in many areas over the last 12 months. Online estimates may not yet reflect this shift. Factor that into your expectations so you’re working from a realistic number, not an optimistic one.

These tools don’t know about your renovations, your roof, or what your neighbor sold for. They’re a starting point — not a final answer. If the numbers look off, reach out and we’ll give you a straight read.
Step 02

Adjust for Your Home’s Condition

Online tools assume a reasonably maintained home. If yours needs work, buyers will price that in — and so should you. Check any items that apply and enter your best estimate of the cost.

These are the items buyers most commonly use to negotiate down from an asking price. Ranges reflect typical mid-Atlantic contractor costs.

Step 03

That Didn’t Work? Do This Instead.

If the online estimates seem off — unusual home, recent renovation, thin data in your area — finding three comparable sales yourself is more reliable. Here’s how.

A “comp” is a similar home that sold recently nearby. Average the price per square foot across three good comps, multiply by your size, and you have a number no algorithm can beat.
01

Go to Zillow or Redfin and filter for “Sold”

Set sold within last 3–6 months, within 0.5 miles. Use Zillow or Redfin — both show full sold history.

02

Match your home as closely as possible

Same bed/bath count, within ±200 sq ft, similar lot size and style. The closer the match, the more reliable the comp.

03

Calculate price per square foot

Divide sold price ÷ sq ft. Example: $360,000 ÷ 1,800 sq ft = $200/sq ft. Enter your three comps below.

04

Adjust for differences

Newer roof? Add a bit. Needs a kitchen? Subtract. Typical adjustments: ±$5,000–$15,000 per major difference.
