What’s the Best Way To Find My Home’s Value?

I will show you how most of the online home value estimators, though convenient and easy, are not always accurate and reliable in terms of their results.

It’s a fact that selling your Pleasanton home for sale is not an easy as it may appear.

First of all, you’ll have to know the real estate market around your home and area. Is the real estate business booming or is it quiet at the moment? There are so many technicalities involved in the process of estimating the equity of your Pleasanton property before you actually arrive at a rough estimate of it’s value.

If you are a homeowner and struggling with this problem, you most likely started your home value search on the internet.

The internet provides an easy way for all home sellers to put a price tag on their homes for sale. They do it through what we know as "online home value estimator software".

These sites boast of easy and fast results but that does not mean correct and accurate.

Yes. As an expert in real estate, I can say that those home value estimators are not giving your Pleasanton home the price it deserves!

Here’s why:

• Home value estimators are not very accurate.

Remember those times in school where you tried to solve a problem as fast as you can and ended up getting the wrong answer? This is similar to automated home value estimators.

These computer programs, although quite amazing, actually have flaws in them. One is that they sacrifice accuracy for the sake of convenience.

Sites like these highly rely only on data gathered from the public, they also gather data from information of what has been reported to your county property tax assessor's office.

So what happens if there is no data or if the data is not enough? Well, one thing’s for sure. That is the face of disappointment you’ll have when you see the inaccurate pricing when you put your house up for sale solely based on this data.

Don’t rely too heavily on these free evaluation sites. If you look closely at the word “home value estimators”, you’ll find the word “estimators”.

They only “estimate”. Chances are, they’ll be estimating up, or worse, down.  But whatever the result may be, it’s a guarantee that they are not accurate.

Online instant home value sites can't see your house.

Of course they can’t! Although online home value estimators might be able to pull up information regarding your house and what’s inside, they won’t be able to see the whole picture.

What if you installed a new deck recently?

What if you updated the kitchen and all the appliances in it just yesterday?

Your Pleasanton home for sale will only be priced right if everything in it is considered, and more importantly, seen.

• Home value estimators  don't know what kinds of home improvements you have done.

In order for you to be able to sell your Pleasanton home for the most amount of money in the shortest period of time, you will need to have the most accurate current market analysis ( CMA) on your property.

Everything counts. Home improvements in areas like the living room, master bedroom, kitchen, and bathrooms matter.

There’s no way that these home value estimators are monitoring every single thing that happens inside your home and the upgrades you have done.

Those are the reasons why I believe that home value estimators are not a good choice for you to depend on. Your home is a big investment, and we don’t want you to be let down.
