With the housing market today it has us all wondering what is the value of my home? If you are curious to know where you stand it is easy to find the value of your home. The easiest way to do this is simply to speak to your real estate agent. They can do the work and the housing comparisons for you if you so choose.

If you wish to be more hands on you can apply for an online value report. You will need to know your homes square footage, the number of bathrooms and bedrooms. You also want to keep helpful details in mind such as the view from your home and its location which can make your homes value greater that your neighbors.

Do not set aside home factors such as molding in the home, its over all condition, the slope of the lot and other details which can affect your homes value. This is often why having a real estate agent work with you can make the over all evaluation that much more efficient. Having a solid understanding of the current market in your specific location is also handy.

Walk through your home and tally up what makes your home stand out and write down all of the features of the home that you may have altered like adding hard wood flooring or updating a room as these also effect your over all value. Take the time to do these steps and you may find yourself pleasantly surprised at how much your home is really worth.
