How to Know Your Market Value: Real Talk for Real Results

Thinking about selling but unsure what your home is actually worth in today’s market? You’re not alone—and spoiler alert: it's not what Zillow says. (We love a Zestimate, but we also love facts.)

Knowing your market value helps you price smart, negotiate strong, and walk into the selling process like the confident home boss you are.

Here’s how to get the real numbers—and real peace of mind.

1. Look at Local Sales (the Right Way)
It’s all about the comps, baby! Comparable homes that recently sold in your area (same size, style, and neighborhood) give a solid idea of where your home stacks up. But this isn’t a DIY project—there’s nuance to it, and I can help you spot the real apples-to-apples comparisons.

2. Understand Market Trends
Are homes flying off the market or sitting for weeks? Are prices climbing or leveling out? Knowing the local vibe helps you strike while the market’s hot—and avoid overpricing in a cooling trend.

3. Consider Condition & Upgrades
Renovated kitchen? New roof? Your upgrades count—but only if buyers are looking for them. Some updates add value, some just add charm. I’ll help you sort the difference.

4. Skip the Online Guesswork
Automated tools can’t feel the flow of your layout or see the sparkle in your staging. A personalized home value assessment is always more accurate—and no, it doesn’t cost a thing.

5. Ask for a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)
This is your golden ticket to understanding your home’s true value. And yes, I’d love to prepare one just for you—no strings attached, just straight-up clarity.
