Ever wonder what your home is really worth? It can be difficult to come to a proper answer on one’s own as you may feel very connected to the place, and proud of improvements you have instigated.

Buyers are going to be most interested in these three things:

1. Price
2. Location
3. Condition

The things that might clutter your mind when pricing your home:

1. Things you added on to the home that are specific to your interests (ex.   tennis court)
2. The amount you originally purchased the house for
3. Memories made in the home
