How accurate are those online home estimators? Is one better than the other? What’s the best way to know how much my home has appreciated?

We’ve also done a lot of work on it which wouldn’t be factored into those - how do people typically determine the eventual resale price to list at?

The most accurate way to get an estimate is to talk to a few realtors, preferably ones who have been involved in a transaction in your neighborhood in the past few months.

You can login to the real estate sites and say “this house is mine”, then add all the amenities / upgrades. That will help make the estimates a bit more accurate.

In reality, real estate agents will have a better sense of what buyers are interested in right now and how to price and market a house appropriately. You may love your big back yard, but buyers in your area may only be interested in the ability to add a pool or an ADU. Being able to tap into those desires can help you truly maximize a sale price, and websites won’t necessarily tell you those things.

The most accurate way to get an estimate is to get an appraiser

Have an agent pull comps

I’d save the 600 dollars you’d i pay an appraiser and call a few realtors. They will be anxious to get your listing business and will be happy to run some reports and give you an estimated value: if you have 2 or more arrive at a similar number that’s probably a pretty good estimate of the actual market value.

Turn key properties are still selling at a premium right now because of low inventory.

You can also research online to see (1) prices of sales for homes that are similar to yours (2) current list prices of similar homes
