Comparative Market Analysis - The Ultimate House Values Tool

Buying a House is (Not Really) Like Buying a Car

If you want to buy a house, it's not easy and certainly not as simple as buying a car. House values are much more difficult to predict and the information available to homebuyers can be untrustworthy. Online home valuation sites are fun to play with, but they are based on recent home sales, not current real estate market factors.

Newspaper listings give you some information about the value of a home, but houses are usually so different that it's hard to compare relative house values from a list of random recent home sales. You don't know how many other home buyers want to buy the same house, which can have an impact on the home's price. Competitive bidding can drive house values up beyond what you thought the home is worth. Recent home sales prices for homes sold aren't necessarily a good predictor of a home's present value.
