How much is my home worth?

The short answer

There is no single magic number for a home's value — and any website that gives you one in ten seconds has never been inside your house.

What your home is worth depends on:

• Recent comparable sales — what buyers actually paid for similar homes near you
• Location — your neighborhood, street, lot, and what surrounds it
• Condition — the state of your roof, systems, kitchen, baths, and overall maintenance
• Current market conditions — how many homes are for sale, how quickly they are moving, and what buyers can afford today

Price it with that evidence, and you stay in control of the sale. Price it on a guess, and the market corrects you — usually at your expense.

• Which improvements typically matter to buyers — and which ones risk over-improving for your neighborhood
• The most common pricing mistakes: overpricing, chasing the market down, and pricing off an online estimate alone
• A tick-off worksheet you can complete for your own home
