Home valuation: how to set your house’s selling price

A useful valuation relies on the property, its condition and relevant comparables at the time of listing.

Start from the property’s features

The type of building, size, condition, documented renovations and lot features all help situate a property in its market.

Gather the available information and identify the work done. An automated estimate or a neighbourhood average does not replace an analysis of the specific property.

Compare relevant sales

Useful comparables are properties similar in area, type and features. Differences must be taken into account rather than applying an average price without context.

Market data changes. A pricing strategy must use recent information and be explained in light of your goal and timeline.

Define a listing strategy

The listing price, presentation and how visits are handled must be consistent. Price alone guarantees neither the selling time nor the result.

The online valuation tool gives a first estimate to start the discussion; it is not a certified value or a price promise.
