What Doesn't Affect Your Home's Value
Common misconceptions about home valuation
What You Paid
Market conditions change. What you paid years ago doesn't determine today's value.
What You "Need" to Get
Your mortgage balance or financial needs don't affect what buyers will pay.
Improvement Costs
Renovations rarely return 100% of their cost. Value depends on what buyers want.
Sentimental Value
The memories you made here are priceless to you, but buyers see a house.
Zillow Estimates
Online estimates are based on algorithms, not actual property condition or upgrades.
Neighbor's Asking Price
What neighbors are asking isn't what homes are selling for.
Home Value FAQs
How accurate is a CMA compared to an appraisal?
A CMA is an educated estimate based on comparable sales and market knowledge. An appraisal is a formal valuation by a licensed appraiser. Both typically arrive at similar values, but appraisals are required by lenders.
How often should I get my home's value checked?
If you're considering selling, get a fresh CMA. Markets change, and data from even 6 months ago may be outdated. I'm happy to provide updates anytime.
Why might my home appraise differently than the CMA?
Appraisers may use different comparables or weight factors differently. Unique features, condition issues, or recent market changes can also cause variations.
Does the time of year affect my home's value?
In Marquette County, spring and early summer typically see the highest activity and prices. Winter can be slower, but serious buyers are still out there and may have less competition.
