What’s Your Home Worth in Today’s Market?

 Have you been asking yourself, “What’s my home worth right now?”  you’re not alone. Whether you’re thinking of selling soon or just curious, understanding your property’s current value is a smart move. But how do real estate agents figure that number out? Let’s break it down.

 1. We Start With a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

A CMA looks at similar homes in your area that have recently sold, are currently listed, or were taken off the market. We compare your home to properties with similar size, layout, location, and features to get a sense of what buyers are willing to pay right now.

 2. Market Conditions Matter

The real estate market is always changing.

Are we in a buyer’s market? A seller’s market? Is inventory low? Are interest rates high? All of these factors influence pricing. For example, if homes in your neighbourhood are selling quickly and above asking, that tells us the demand is high and your home may be worth more than you think.

 3. We Adjust for Upgrades and Features

Not all homes are created equal.

Do you have a finished basement? A recently renovated kitchen? An extra bathroom? We make specific adjustments for things that add value and also consider any areas that might need work.

Even small details like a newer roof, updated windows, or professional landscaping can impact the final estimate.

 4. We Consider the Numbers, and the Story

Pricing isn’t just about math, it’s about knowing the story behind your home and how it fits into today’s market. That’s where local expertise comes in.

We combine data, current trends, and on-the-ground knowledge to give you a clear and realistic picture of your home’s market value.

☔ Rainy Day Checklist

Rainy days are great for staying inside, wearing sweatpants, and pretending the outside world doesn’t exist. But they’re also kind of perfect for checking in on your home!

Here are 5 things you should do the next time it’s pouring outside:

  1. Check for leaks around windows and doors
    If rain is sneaking in through the windows or doors, you’ll definitely notice it on a day like today. Touch around the edges, if anything feels damp or drafty, it might be time for a little weatherproofing. It’s not glamorous, but neither is a soggy living room.

  2. Look at your gutters
    If your gutters are overflowing like a mini waterfall, they’re probably clogged. Water should go down and away from your house, not turn your walls into a splash zone. Either get up there safely (if you're into ladders and leaf gunk) or call someone who is.

  3. Make sure your sump pump isn’t taking the day off
    Got a sump pump? Cool. Does it work? Even better. Pour a bucket of water in and see if it kicks on. If not, it’s time to get it checked before your basement turns into a swimming pool.

  4. Walk around the outside and look for puddles
    If there’s a lake forming next to your house, that’s a red flag. Water pooling near your foundation can cause big problems later, like cracks or leaks. Try extending your downspouts or regrading the area so water flows away from your place.

  5. Get your life together
    Rainy days = perfect excuse to stay in. But also… maybe clean that junk drawer? Organize your closet? You don’t have to do everything, but doing something feels kind of nice.

The Bottom Line:
Rainy days don’t have to be boring. They’re actually kind of useful when it comes to spotting stuff around the house that needs fixing.
