Determining the value of your home can be difficult. Texas is a nondisclosure state, which means what a home actually sells for is not publicly disclosed. The county assesses how much homes are worth and the resultant tax data is typically all that is available.
This is a problem for people who want to sell their home because coming up with a list price is difficult, especially in our strong, growing market. Many people use Zillow to get their home estimate. The problem with that, however, is estimates can be hundreds of thousands of dollars off in either direction. If you are looking for a ballpark figure, online home evaluations are just fine - but if you want a true value, an accurate estimate, your best bet is working with a real estate professional.
An agent has a better understanding of market trends than websites like Zillow and Trulia. We have access to comparable property sales and other data that help us price your home in an informed manner. Additionally, HAR.com has been consistently ranked the #1 MLS site in the nation, so you do have at least one helpful online resource.
Real estate is incredibly local - what is happening regionally doesn't apply to the multitude of micro markets, especially in a large city like Houston. If you want the best information available so you can find the value of your home, give us a call or shoot us an email. We'll help you price your home competitively so you can sell it fast and get maximum value.
