Why Online Estimates Leave You Confused

Different sites, different numbers. Here's the reality behind the spread.

Conflicting Formulas

Each platform uses its own model, often producing valuations that vary dramatically.
 

Ignores Your Upgrades

Renovations, materials, and condition changes are invisible to automated tools.
 

Overlooks Market Trends

Shifts in local demand and seasonality aren’t captured well by generic algorithms.
 

Real estate valuation does not require complex algorithms 

Your home's true market value comes down to one fundamental principle: what are buyers actually paying for homes like yours, right now, in your neighborhood?

 

This approach—comparing recent, similar sales and adjusting for your home's unique characteristics—is called comparative market analysis (CMA). It's the gold standard that professional appraisers and experienced agents have relied on for decades. Why? Because it works.

How I Determine Your Home's True Market Value

Gather Comparable Sales

I start by identifying recent home sales in your neighborhood—properties similar in size, age, style, and location. These "comps" are the backbone of accurate valuation, showing what buyers have actually paid for homes like yours in the past 90 days.

Inspect Your Property

I personally walk through your home to assess its condition, note upgrades like renovated kitchens or new flooring, identify any needed repairs, and understand the unique features that algorithms can't capture from satellite photos.

Analyze Market Demand

I evaluate current market conditions—how quickly homes are selling, what buyers are looking for, seasonal trends, and local economic factors. This reveals whether it's a buyer's market, seller's market, or somewhere in between.
