What is my home worth — and what should I do with it?
The estimate is the start of the conversation, not the answer. Get the number first, then decide between the three paths that actually exist.
Valuation experience provided through RealScout. An automated estimate cannot see condition, updates, layout or deferred maintenance.
Your three paths
Compare them on the same numbers
Each path is decided by a different figure. A reviewed valuation states which comparable sales were used, what adjustment your property earns, and what is still unknown.
Sell as-is
Price it where the market has actually closed, accept the condition discount, and keep the proceeds without carrying a project.
Net proceeds after payoff, commissions, transfer taxes and concessions.
Improve first
Only make the repairs the market pays for. Work that removes a buyer objection usually returns its cost; cosmetics past the ceiling of the block rarely do.
Expected change in sale price versus the cost of the work.
Keep it as a rental
Compare net proceeds invested at a realistic return against cash flow, principal paydown and appreciation — after vacancy, maintenance and reserves.
Return on the equity currently sitting in the property.
