Home valuation
What's your
home worth?
Online estimates miss renovations, views, lot features and how buyers actually feel about a street. LJ prepares a Comparative Market Analysis from recent nearby sales and your home's real features.
- Recent comparable sales, adjusted for real differences
- Active and pending competition you would be up against
- A suggested price range and a plan to reach it
A CMA is a broker's opinion of market value, not an appraisal.

Two ways to value a home
CMA or
appraisal?
I.
Comparative Market Analysis
LJ studies homes that recently sold near yours and are as similar as possible, then adjusts for differences such as size, condition, lot and updates. It is free and it is the best way to set a list price.
II.
Appraisal
A licensed appraiser's independent opinion, usually ordered by a lender for a purchase or refinance. It includes a full inspection of the home and typically has a fee.
