How Much is the House Worth
Research and determine your houses fair market value. This is most
easily done by hiring a licensed Washington real estate agent to provide you with a
market analysis for your house. The agent does this by researching those properties
in your area that are comparable in size, age, condition and potential as yours.
Detailing to you what is currently on the market that is comparable to your house
(current homes for sale), what has sold in past 6 months or so, that was comparable,
and what the high, low and average sales price and or listings price comparable homes
have gone for in your area.
In addition, you can order an independent appraisal. Banks and mortgage companies hire
licensed appraisers to tell them the market value of a home based on its place in the
market and its condition. Many of the same factors your agent will use to compare your
house to others will be used by the appraiser to arrive at his/her price. Appraisals
tend to be more conservative in their price than those suggested by real estate agents.
However, true market value may be closer to the higher of the two.
