There are numerous sites out there that give consumers real estate info and valuation information...Some are decent and some are horrendous...I will not mention any names but one in the past was off by about 25%....
That is quite a bit on a $450k home....
If you are looking for accurate information on what the current market value on your home is contact a Realtor...If you are in question with what the Realtor comes up with consider an appraisal.
The benefits of an actual appraisal are -1. You will know EXACTLY where you are at.There will be no guess work on your part or the Realtors! Starting with the right price is crucial in this market...over price and it is the kiss of death!!
The websites out there that give you home valuation info are better than nothing...but they will never replace the knowledge of an experienced Realtor.
