If you are working with a realtor ask for them to do a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) on your house. In doing this you will need provide the realtor with the information regarding your house and the area surrounding it. Including the number of bedrooms, baths and total rooms in your house excluding the basement, garage and bathrooms. You will next need to make a list to provide your realtor with that provides a maximum of ten roads within a half mile to mile radius within your house. Your address, zip code and school district will also enable the agent to have all the necessary requirements to fulfill completion of a CMA on your house. The CMA on your house will cover a six-month to one-year period. This will enable your prospective buyers to have a better feel of both what your neighborhood and house has to offer now but also how it has grown since the past.
Another recommendation of determining your house’s value is by what your city or country has set the value at based on your current property taxes. Your current city or county has a variety of methods in which they determine what they feel your house is worth. The easiest way to do it on your own is by multiplying your base by the yearly tax amount. These values can generally be found on your yearly property tax amount papers if you do not know them off the top of your head. It is a simple way of determining the value of your house but keep in mind that tax valuations have fluctuated greatly in the past 20 years and often at times they are not the best way to determine its value. So its suggested to do this method along with other ones mentioned above to established a well rounded value of your house.
These are just a few of the ways in which you can determine the value of your house and are not always guaranteed to give you a price in which you will end up selling your house for. So be prepared for the pricing to fluctuate both up and down throughout this process.
