Value of a home is calculated by comparing sold properties in the last six months that are similar to yours. A local REALTOR is the best person to do this for you, as he/she will have access to this information through the local Board of REALTORs MLS system. However, you may also hire an appraiser.
Homes similar in age, construction, and size that sold in your area in the past six months are examined for sold price per heated square foot. That gives a price range. Then adjustments are made on the condition, location, and amount of land to arrive at a value the local market will support. Priced too high, you will lose the peak interest period of the first 30 days on market.
Hope this helps you!
