I don't want to buy until next year, and I'm afraid that once I involve an agent, the process will move much too fast.

This site you can use to get started with an overview of what the value are of homes in your neighborhood. Sometimes their information states the value higher than normal.

By next year the value will have changed either up or down. Why start so soon?
The way to do this is find 3 houses that have sold in the last 6 months, 3 that have expired, 3 that have been withdrawn and 3 that are under contract. All these should be comparable in size, lot size, neighborhood, amenities, etc. Then graph the prices especially the listed prices vs. sold prices, determine the medians and work through the comp. formulas.

There are several value measuring sites on the web and I don't think any are very close to true value. A good Realtor can check the market and break it down for your house and location. You could look at your county courthouse sales in your area and try to do it yourself, but it isn't an easy thing to do. My advice, get a Realtor and just tell them, up front, your time schedule and if they aren't comfortable with that then you will find another. Believe me, they will adjust to you. Secondly, you could hire an independent appraiser to value it. This will cost though. Anywhere from $200-$350.Good luck

Hire an appraiser and have it appraised. Or if you want to go on the cheap (and be less accurate), you can use the numerous free online appraisals. Here's one: http://realestateabc.com
Question for you - why get your house appraised now if your planning on buying/selling in 12+ months?
