House Value Calculator

Looking for a good calculator to determine your home value? A lot of websites can provide you an online estimate of what your house is worth, but they generally provide a wide price range.

How do house value calculators determine my house value?

With most home value calculator websites, there are a few important questions to answer.

What is the home’s zip code?
What is the home’s street address?
What is the home’s square footage?
How many bedrooms does the house have?
How many bathrooms are in the house?
How many acres is the property the home is on?

Some sites might include a few other details to calculate home value, but those are the basics. Only a few websites actually show you a home value range when you submit information about your home. Most of those sites will also include a disclaimer that recommends home buyers and sellers get in touch with real estate professionals for an accurate home value report.

Why would a house value calculator website suggest that I contact a real estate agent?

Reliability. There are several things a home value calculator cannot tell about your property. If you have remodeled areas of the home or made significant improvements, they won’t always show up on your tax forms. This can alter an accessed value from a house value calculator.

For example, a human eye can tell the difference between old cabinets and new cabinets. A property value calculator on a website… can’t.

Working with a local real estate agent allows you the opportunity to have your home value calculated by someone who knows your housing market and can put a dollar amount on the home improvements you’ve made.

Do I have any other options for calculating my house value?

Another option to get your property’s value would be to have a professional appraiser come to your home and do a full evaluation. A fee of around $250 is required to do this. Home buyers and sellers do not need to contact a home appraiser to calculate their home value, however. If you work with an experienced real estate agent, they might even be able to accurately provide you with a property estimate within 10% of its appraisal value.
