Frequently Asked Questions

What Does AVM Stand For?

AVM stands for Automated Valuation Model. It’s a technology-driven method that analyzes various public records and historical sales data to estimate a property’s value.

How Reliable Are AVMs?

Generally, AVMs, especially those on a national level, may not accurately reflect the true value of a home due to their significant error margin. These models rely on automated calculations from public data and often miss out on the specific characteristics and local market conditions that can impact a home’s actual worth.

What's the Best Way to Get an Accurate Home Value Estimate?

To obtain a more precise valuation of your home, we recommend requesting a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from our team. Our personalized CMA provides a comprehensive overview of market movements, competitive listings, and recent sales in your locality, offering a clearer picture of your property’s value.

Can You Explain What a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) Entails?

A Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA, is a custom report prepared by our experienced agents. It involves a detailed comparison of your home with similar properties in your area that are either on the market or have been sold recently. This analysis takes into account various factors such as market trends, location, and unique features of your home like its condition and amenities. This tailored approach enables our agents to provide you with a well-informed estimation of your home’s market value.

Why the Value of Your Home Is Significant

Outside of providing a place for your family to live, your home is an important part of your financial plan, too.

Here’s why it matters:

Value as an Investment:


Over time, your home should theoretically appreciate in value. As your home's value grows, so does your net worth. If you decide to sell your home in the future, you stand to profit from your investment.

Resale value:


"If you're nearing the 3-year mark before selling your home, it's advisable to monitor its value and the real estate market closely, aiming to capitalize on selling at an opportune moment," advises Jose V. Sanchez, financial advisor and contributor to life insurance toolkit.

Leveraging power:


This is particularly relevant if you find yourself needing to borrow against the value of your home. With a substantial increase in your home's value, you'll have greater flexibility in obtaining a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to cover expenses such as renovations, purchasing a car, or funding your children's education.

Legacy planning:

Ultimately, being aware of your home's value can be crucial for estate and elder law care planning too, emphasizes Joseph A. Carbone, Jr., CFP, Founder, and Wealth Advisor of Focus Planning Group.

Tax implications:


"Monitoring both the market value and property tax assessment value is crucial to avoid inadvertently paying taxes on a property value that's artificially inflated or, conversely, undervalued," advises Minnesota Financial Advisor Jamie Pomeroy.

Home coverage:


Don't underestimate the importance of understanding your home's value in ensuring you have adequate coverage with your homeowners insurance.
