You may remember what you paid when you first bought your home, but do you know what your home is currently worth? Knowing your home’s estimated market value is important if you’re looking to buy, sell, refinance, or tap into your home’s equity.

Should you use an online home valuation calculator?

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to find out how much your home is worth, it may be tempting to use online home estimate calculators. This information may or may not be accurate. These home value estimators utilize public and user-submitted data and calculate an estimate based off of location and current market conditions. These calculations are very general and will not include other factors that affect home value, such as curb appeal and safety.

While these online tools can serve as a starting point, it’s important to remember that an online estimate from a website is not going to be able to give you truly accurate insight into your home’s current market value.
