What is an Automated Home Valuation?
In this video we talk about automated home valuations, or AVMs. There are a wide variety of online home valuations available, and they have varying degrees of accuracy. While these tools can be useful for the general tracking of your home’s price, you may not want to rely on these numbers if you’re thinking about selling. We have been able to sell listings far above the AVM value. If you are serious about selling, these online valuations may not be accurate enough for serious planning. If you want my opinion of what your home might sell for, please feel free to call or text me anytime at (714) 486-4086.
How Do They Determine Home Values?
There are many factors and features of your home that an automated home valuation cannot consider. These valuations typically only use the most basic information about your home that they can find on public records. This information typically includes square footage, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, lot size, etc. While these aspects are important to consider in your homes value, it does not include many factors that influence the value of a home. In some cases, this information can be incorrect on public records, which impacts the valuation.
What Factors are Not Considered?
remodeled kitchen and bathrooms will typically sell for a lot more than a home that does not have those upgrades. Other factors to consider are the age of the roof, air conditioner, furnace, water heater, dishwasher, oven, etc. Homes can have a wide range of conditions, especially in older neighborhoods.
How to Get a More Accurate Estimate
An experienced Realtor should be able to provide you with a more accurate number of what your home might sell for. If you have any questions, or want to know my opinion of your home’s value please reach out to me anytime.
