- 1). Check out other properties for sale in your neighborhood that are similar to yours in size and condition. Go to each open house if possible and talk with the owners about their asking price.
- 2). Hire a professional appraiser to appraise your home. Talk with several appraisers before hiring one. You want to find an appraiser who will go through each room of your home, take upgrades and additions into consideration and check out the landscaping and other outside features as well.
- 3). Get help from a professional Realtor. Make sure the Realtor has plenty of experience in your area. He or she will be able to help you determine the approximate value of your home and how much you should attempt to sell it for.
- 4). Use home valuation websites, such as Yahoo! Real Estate and MoveUp.com. These websites allow you to enter the address of your home and receive an approximate range for the value of your home. Note that these websites should be used in addition to other resources.
