Beyond Online Estimates: Conducting a simple internet search for a home’s value may seem straightforward, but it’s crucial to understand that the figures provided are not definitive. Websites offering home estimates often come with disclaimers about potential inaccuracies. What they show isn’t necessarily what you can realistically buy or sell a house for.
Challenges with Online Data: While the internet provides abundant data on median home prices, properties sold, days on market, and housing inventory, interpreting this information accurately poses challenges. Even if the data is up to date, understanding how it translates to the specific property you’re dealing with can be complex. Variations from one neighborhood to another or from one home to its nearby counterparts add further layers of complexity.
