Request a Free ValuationWhat Is a Home Valuation?
A home valuation is an estimate of what your property would sell for in today’s market, based on recent comparable sales, current inventory, and neighborhood trends. It’s useful whether you’re thinking about selling, refinancing, or simply curious about your equity.
How Is It Calculated?
Value comes from a mix of location, size and layout, condition and age, and what similar homes nearby have actually sold for recently—not just what’s currently listed, and not any single number in isolation.
How Accurate Is an Online Estimate?
Automated tools are a great starting point, but they can’t walk through your home or account for a renovated kitchen, a standout view, or the specific micro-trends on your exact street.

Comparative Market Analysis
A CMA is a real estate agent’s professional estimate of a home’s value, built by comparing it to similar properties that have recently sold, are currently listed, or didn’t sell nearby. It’s free, doesn’t require an in-person inspection, and is typically the first step for anyone considering selling—it’s exactly what Candy provides directly.
What is a Comparative Market Analysis? →Based on a Professional’s Opinion
An appraisal is an unbiased valuation of a home based on a professional’s opinion. They’re usually what mortgage companies use for home purchases and refinances. A lender usually orders one, it involves an in-person inspection, and it carries more legal weight than a CMA—but typically comes with a fee and happens later in the process, closer to closing.
