Home Value FAQs
➔
1. What makes your home value estimate different from websites like Zillow?
Our reports are made by people who know a lot about homes. Zillow and similar websites use computers to guess home values, and sometimes they're not very accurate. We recommend talking to a real estate agent like us for a better idea.

2. How does Zillow figure out how much my home is worth?
Zillow uses computer programs to look at a lot of information and guess your home's value. But sometimes, these guesses aren't perfect. When it comes to something as important as your home's value, it's better to get help from experts who know the area well.

3. How do you decide how much my home is worth?
We look at many things to figure out your home's value. First, we check out your address and see how much similar homes in your neighborhood have sold for. We also consider what makes your home special and its condition. We don't use computer guesses; we have real experts who do the work.

4. What can I do to make my home worth more money?
To make your home more valuable, you can make improvements like fixing the roof, painting, or updating your doors and windows. These changes can make buyers willing to pay more. Some of these improvements might also show up in online estimates, but not all of them. You can help by updating your home's information on websites like Zillow.

5. How often do home values change?
Usually, home values go up by about 3-4% every year in good markets. But they can change a lot because of things like how many people want to buy homes or what's happening in your area. Online estimates get updated regularly to show these changes. You can look at your estimate's history to see how it's been changing over time.
