is there a way to get a ball park dollar value for my house without getting a formal appraisal?

I inherited a house two years ago, just before the market fizzled.
I have no experience in real estate. I know it's a valuable piece
of property. I am hesitant to see how much it's dropped in value.
Completely stumpt. Weird enough getting through the grief part
of it.

Craig's answer is great advise. Most RE agents will prepare comparative market analysis at no cost to you. The agent/broker motivation for this free service is when you choose to sell or purchase a home you would consider that agent first. I work in Vail Colorado so I do not have the expertise to help in your market. I am happy however to refer you to a CRS in your area. CRS Counsel of Residential Specialists are some of the most committed agents/brokers in the business.  Let me know if you need some help.

Yes, however it depends what you need the value for? Are you thinking of selling or refinancing?

Well what you want is called a comparative market analysis.  What we do is pull like properties (same sq footage,bedrooms,style,etc) that have sold within the past 4 months or so.  I also look at active listings currently on the market as well as pending/back up properties that are in escrow to see your competition. With all that information as well as seeing your home I come up with a suggested list price.  [content removed by moderator for being self promotional]
