Frequently Asked Questions

How do I estimate my home's value?
You can estimate your home's value using the appreciation method (purchase price compounded annually), the price-per-square-foot method (using comparable sales in your area), or a professional appraisal. Online estimates are a starting point; a formal appraisal is most accurate.
What is the average home appreciation rate?
Nationally, U.S. home prices have appreciated about 3-5% per year on average over the long term. However, appreciation varies widely by market, neighborhood, and economic conditions. Some hot markets see 10%+ gains while others may be flat or decline.
What is price per square foot?
Price per square foot is the sale price divided by the home's living area. It's a common metric to compare homes of different sizes in the same neighborhood. Check recent comparable sales (comps) in your area to find a local average.
