Three Ways to Perform Home Valuations
Online Valuation
Our instant home valuation tool, along with other platforms, uses public records, nearby sales, and your home’s basic details to calculate an estimated price. These automated systems are quick and formula-based, giving you a ballpark idea of what your home might be worth.
For downsizers, this is a fast and easy way to begin understanding your financial picture. While it's not a final number, it helps you gauge how much equity you may be able to use when transitioning to a smaller, simpler home.
MARKET ANALYSIS
Online tools don’t see your kitchen remodel or your backyard view. That’s why we offer a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), tailored for homeowners considering a downsize. We select recent local sales that match your home, and evaluate unique features, upgrades, and layout in person.
A CMA helps you price realistically and plan confidently. If you’re selling to downsize, this is one of the most accurate ways to understand how your home stacks up and how much buying power you’ll have for your next chapter.
APPRAISALS
Appraisals are formal assessments done by a licensed appraiser, typically required by banks during purchases or refinancing. They review your home’s condition, sales comps, and recent trends to produce a detailed, certified valuation.
If you’re downsizing and want to use your equity to purchase your next home—or qualify for a bridge loan—this is the number lenders will use. Knowing the appraised value helps you stay in control of your timeline and your finances as you transition to something that better fits your lifestyle.
When Downsizing, Timing and Value Go Hand-in-Hand
REFINANCING
You may not be ready to sell just yet—but a valuation helps you understand your current equity if you’re planning to downsize later. The more equity you have, the better refinancing options you can unlock in the short term, especially if you want to lower payments or prep for a future move.
This is often the first step for homeowners who are downsizing in stages, not all at once.
HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Thinking of fixing up your home before you downsize? A valuation helps you avoid over-investing in updates that won’t raise your sale price. If your home is already at the high end of your neighborhood's price range, you can be smart about what’s worth doing.
This lets downsizers focus on what actually adds value—and skip expensive projects that won’t pay off.
QUALIFYING FOR CREDIT
If you plan to buy your next (smaller) home before selling your current one, a valuation helps you see if you qualify for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). Many downsizers use a HELOC to cover deposits, moving costs, or short-term overlaps.
Most lenders require 20% equity. Knowing your home’s value puts you in the best position to access those funds and bridge the gap between homes.
PLANNING
You don’t have to be ready to list to benefit from knowing your home’s value. For many downsizers, the decision builds over time. A professional valuation gives you clarity and confidence as you plan the next phase—whether you're retiring, simplifying, or relocating.
Understanding what your home is worth today helps you move forward tomorrow—on your own terms, with no pressure.
