What Determines a Home’s Value

A home’s value is determined by market data, comparable sales, and local trends.

Real estate professionals review recently sold homes with similar size, location, and features to determine what buyers are actually paying in the current market.

This information helps buyers understand whether a home is priced appropriately.
