How much is my house worth?

How much your house is worth is what a qualified buyer will pay for it. Online estimates are a starting point. A licensed agent's comparative market analysis and real interest from buyers who can afford it are what set the number.

Three ways to estimate value

MethodWhat it tells youIts limit
Online estimateA quick range from public recordsIt has not seen your home's condition or updates
Comparative market analysisWhat similar nearby homes sold for, adjusted by a licensed agentIt looks backward at past sales
Buyer interestWhat active buyers are willing to pay nowYou need access to those buyers

Why buyer interest matters most

Past sales tell you where the market was. Buyers tell you where it is. With inventory up 4.6% from a year earlier and homes taking a little longer to sell, pricing to today's buyers matters more than it did in recent years.

How it works on Chimpre

Your agent prepares a comparative market analysis, then introduces your home privately to agents whose active buyers are looking for a home like yours. You see real interest at your price before anything goes public.

See who is looking for a home like yours

Chimpre introduces your home to agents whose active buyers are searching for a home like yours, in your area, at your price, with the space they need. Your agent shows you who is interested before anything goes public.
