How much is
my home worth?
You may have tried our calculator above to find out how much your home is worth, but what kind of factor's influence a home's value? Here is a quick overview of the primary drivers that can increase or decrease how much you might be able to sell your property for:
Historic Sale Prices - Appraisers often look to historic sale prices as a starting point for a property’s valuation, then make adjustments from there, with recent sales being more influential than sales occurring many years ago.
The Market - The current state of the housing market will definitely have an impact on the value of your property - both in terms of the national or local economy, and supply and demand in your location. For example, if lots of people are looking to buy and there aren’t many great options out there, there is more competition among buyers that can drive up the price. Alternatively, if more people want to sell than want to buy, sellers may need to accept lower prices to close the deal.
Age and Condition - Typically, newer homes sell for more than older homes as the potential maintenance costs are lower. The infrastructure of the property, such as the electrical, plumbing and overall structural integrity, is also likely to be better in newer houses. However, it is important to note that older homes that have been well-maintained and are in excellent condition can fetch as much as new homes, if not more, given the desirability of original features to some buyers.
Size and Style - A home’s size has a strong influence on its value - usually the bigger the better. The layout is important though, with niche layouts being less universally-desirable than traditional, neutral ones. Style-wise, the more stylized a property is, the smaller the potential buyer pool. Buyers are not just looking for their tastes, but often considering resale value too.
The Neighborhood - Increasingly, features of the neighborhood can have a strong influence on housing prices. For example, high crime rates show a negative correlation with home values, whereas a strong school system has a position influence.
Proximity to Certain Features - Transportation infrastructure can be pivotal here, with proximity to a freeway or public transport station being a desirable factor (albeit not close enough to be a disturbance). Beaches and parks are also a big pull for potential homebuyers.
