If you’re thinking about selling your home, one of the first questions you’ll ask is, “What’s my house worth?” It’s a great question—and the right answer can make or break your selling strategy.

Here are 5 easy ways to get a solid idea of your home's value before listing:

1. Check Comparable Sales ("Comps")

Look at recently sold homes in your neighborhood that are similar in size, condition, and features. These are called comps and can give you a ballpark estimate of what buyers are paying.

🛠 Tip: Use Zillow or Realtor.com to start, but keep in mind their data may not always be up to date or fully accurate.

2. Use an Online Home Value Estimator

Websites like Redfin, Zillow, and Chase offer free automated home value tools. These pull public records and past sales to give a rough number.

🧠 Remember: These tools don’t know your upgrades, roof condition, or local demand. Use them as a guide—not gospel.

3. Talk to a Local Realtor (Like Us!)

A real estate professional can run a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)—a deep dive into your home, neighborhood trends, and market conditions.

📈 This gives you a much more accurate and customized home valuation than any online tool.

4. Get a Pre-Listing Appraisal

Hiring a licensed appraiser to evaluate your home before listing can help you price with confidence. This is especially useful in unique or high-value homes.

5. Watch Local Market Trends

Pay attention to local inventory, days on market, and sale-to-list price ratios. If homes are selling fast and above asking, your value may be on the rise.

Knowing your home’s worth is step one in building a successful selling plan—and The Galluzzo Team is here to help.
