Alerts are a great way for you to stay up-to-date on things you care about. We will email you a list of the new items that match your criteria at a time of your choosing.
If you have a local realtor contact, check with him/her for an opinion. This might give you somewhat of an idea. But until an appraiser goes out and does the work, you have no way of knowing.

your best bet is to go ahead and let your lender order an appraial-- Assuming your home is in good condition, ask them to have a FULL appraisal done if possible (interior and exterior).
Then, if you get the appraisal back and it seems off, you CAN order a second appraisal on your own from a different appraiser. While the lender won't accept this in place of the one they had done, if it comes back with a significantly different value, you can use it to dispute the original report and file an adendum request through your lender, so you'll at least have some solid support for your claim.

Featured Rates are based on state rates for 30 year fixed loans and are valid for the date shown, but they may change without notice. They are for consumers with a credit rating of 720 or higher and a 20% or higher down payment. Rate, terms, pre-paid finance charges, and APR may vary based on factors such as creditworthiness of the applicant(s), self employment status of the applicant(s), condo or townhouse structure, loan amount, and geographic location of the property.
If a lender does not offer a national rate, a state rate may be shown next to the lender's name. For example, 'Bank name (CA)'.
