The accurate value of your home depends on many things such as the square footage, neighborhood/area, and many other attributes. Many Sellers tend to compare their home to the most expensive home that recently sold in their area instead of looking at homes with similar attributes that recently sold in their area. Homes in your area with similar attributes are called "comps" and are a much better way to indicate an accurate estimate for your home. We provide a custom report that includes accurate and up-to-date information to determine your homes value.

Once again, the short answer is NO! If you have purchased a home, sold a home, or just hunted for homes, you have most likely used third party real estate search engines to search for homes. These sites provide estimated values of homes for nearly every home in the United States. However, these are not always accurate home values for your local market. All estimates are based on calculations and formulas that do not necessarily provide accurate information. These online guesstimates can be deceiving and lead to both upset buyers and sellers. You can receive a more accurate value of your home by speaking with a top Realtor in your local area, not a third party real estate website.

That being said, many homes end up with multiple offers and financing is a big consideration as to the strength of an offer, so oftentimes if a buyer has the ability to do so, a 10-30% downpayment will help strengthen an offer. In addition, putting more than 20% down is often advantageous as it helps borrowers avoid private mortgage insurance which can be quite costly.
