Wellington Florida real estate is constantly changing, which means your homes value is most likely changing too. So when you’re thinking about selling your Wellington home or ready to sell your Wellington home it’s important to find out what it will sell for in today’s real estate market.

So how do you find out how much your Wellington home is worth? Well, you have a few options.

Option 1: Home Appraisal

You can hire a licensed appraiser for roughly $300-$600 to perform an appraisal on your Wellington home. Most appraisers will take 3 recent home sales in your area similar to yours and make adjustments for the items that differ, like square footage, number of bathrooms, swimming pool, condition and lot location to name a few. Based on these adjustments an appraiser will come up with an appraised value for your Wellington home.

Option 2: Instant Home Value

There are countless real estate websites that offer an “instant” home value for your home, but how accurate will this value be? In my experience most of these websites use general calculations based off of area home sales, which these sales may or may not be comparable to your home, so the value provided could be pretty close or it could be completely wrong.

Option 3: REALTOR Comparative Market Analysis

A comparative market analysis, commonly referred to as a CMA, is free report completed by a licensed Realtor. Well, let me rewind for a minute, a majority of Realtors will provide a CMA free of charge to prospective home seller’s, but there may be a few Realtors out there that might charge a small fee.

A standard CMA will include an analysis of homes currently for sale in your area, pending neighborhood sales, recent sales and sometimes expired listings. Based on this information and the Realtors experience they will recommend a sales price for your home.

What’s the Best Option to Determine How Much your Wellington Florida Home is Worth?

It all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.

If you’re just curious about recent home sales and a ballpark of what your home might sell for an online instant home value may suffice.

However if you need “real” numbers hiring an appraiser or meeting with a licensed Realtor is probably your best option, but keep in mind everyone and everything is different.

Odds are if you selected all 3 options you’d receive 3 different price recommendations. They may be a few thousand dollars apart, but they could also be tens of thousands of dollars apart.

Whether you decide to hire an appraiser or a REALTOR I highly recommend researching who you’re hiring. Are they local? Do they have experience in your neighborhood? How long have they been in the business? What do they charge, if anything? Do they have references?
