Are there websites that can help? Do I need to get an appraiser??
How can I do it without one?

Zillow.com is often inaccurate, so I generally use RealestateABC.com. This site allows you to pick from a list of comparable homes in your area, and the how hot the real estate market is in your area.

If you are just looking for a rough idea of what your house might sell for, contact a Realtor. They will be happy to do the research.
If you want a more exact number, contact an appraiser. They can give you a better idea of what the house is worth.
Please note the differences. A Realtor tells you what your house might SELL for in the market. An appraiser tells you what your house is valued at.
What it can sell for on the market and what it is valued at are not necessarily the same thing.

Forget the websites. Go to a Real Estate office and ask an agent to do a Comparative Market Analysis for you. There should not be a charge as they will think you are thinking of selling at some point. Home values are a very local judgement. have someone familar with the area do it right.

You can contact a local realtor. They should have market comparables. Comparables are homes that sold in your area within the last 6 months or so. The homes need to have similar specs as your home. sq ft, condition, lot size,age etc..... That is how appraised value is determined.

Yes there are a few free websites that you can try: housevalues.com, homevaluehunt.com, valuesinfo.com and Yahoo has comps on the web too. You don't need an appraiser until you want to sell it - even then most will just pull comps in your area to see what it could sell for. Most don't even come inside.

Don't bother with the websites. Just ask a Realtor to do a Comparitive Market Anaysis for you. Go into an office in YOUR neighborhood and ask them for a CMA.
The websites don't know subtlties of the market. Also, they can't help you by suggesting small things that will increase the value of your home.

I would not recommend any web based sites for values. If you want a broad range then you should get at CMA done by an agent. If you want a specific value for your property then you should get an appraisal (they will take into account your land size, square footage, amenities etc.

hi RB! the domicile fee estimate in Quizzle is only that - an estimate. it somewhat is according to issues like cutting-edge domicile revenues on your section, documents from genuine value determinations and suggestions from public documents. it somewhat isn't any longer as precise as an entire appraisal, yet could help provide you some of the small print you should fee your place. we've presently made over our domicile fee checklist and are actually getting our documents from a sparkling companion, FNC. We released this new domicile fee estimator only final week, so in case you observed discrepancies between a prior fee and a cutting-edge fee, that is why. Our assessments have shown that our new domicile fee checklist is greater stable than before and includes much greater suggestions this is critical on your place's fee - like cutting-edge foreclosure on your community. i desire that helps! in case you have any added questions, please do no longer hesitate to touch us at feedback[at]quizzle[dot]com.
