Have
you ask yourself any of these questions? What is the value of
my home? How much is my house worth? How can I find out the real
market value of my home?
I
have searched the Internet like most home owners and tested the
many sites that claim they can tell you what your home value is. I
used my address and was given a range of over $90,000 between just
5 of the highest ranked (by Google) websites. Each of these sites
had the following in common:
1)
None of them had any detailed information on my house except for
the year built and only one site had the size of my home as
listed in the tax records.
2)
None of them had any details on the sales they listed in my
neighborhood.
3)
All of them were reflecting a value not supported by the sales
they listed.
I
must mention that two of these sites gave the good advice of
"you should contact a professional real estate agent to get a
true home value estimate. A real estate agent will take into
consideration local market conditions and recent home sales"
and "Always consult a licensed appraisal professional for an
appraisal". I would like to add that there is only one other
source to get a true home value estimate and that is from an
experienced licensed real estate appraiser. So do you want to find
the value of your home from a computer generated website that has
little to no information on your home or neighborhood or hire a
professional real estate agent/appraiser that will view your home,
and consider all factors that may affect the property value of
your home?
When
you want to sell your home, buy a home or invest in real estate,
hire a real estate agent who has the knowledge and experience in
the real estate market. Kevin Burkhardt is a licensed real estate
agent and is also a State certified residential real estate
appraiser who has made a long standing career in the real estate
profession.
