Types of Home Valuations
CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)
Provided by your real estate agent. Compares your home to similar properties that have recently sold, are currently listed, or failed to sell. This is the most common method for determining listing price.
Professional Appraisal
Conducted by a licensed appraiser. Required by lenders for mortgage approval. More detailed and formal than a CMA, includes physical inspection of the property.
Automated Valuation Model (AVM)
Computer-generated estimates (like Zillow's Zestimate). Quick and free, but less accurate. Good for initial estimates but shouldn't be relied upon for pricing decisions.
