Frank Gentile's Q&A

Unfortunately your home value is more dependant, in many ways, on the overall market conditions than some of the feautres your home has. Not to say they are not adding to your homes value but a newer kitchen or bathrooms may have increased your return to potential buyers more than windows, insullation or other. This is partially because buyers will assume the homes they are looking at have roofs in good condition. A new roof will probably help you sell quicker, but may not translate ultimately into your sale price. Also- don't forget that Zillow is a tool used for estimating value. For a true picture of what your home is worth you'd be best served contacting a local pro that will take all the market variables into account.

This home is back on the market recently after expiring in 2007&2008. It's listed for $279K[content removed by moderator for being self promotional]

That is definitly a typo, I live and work very close to that home and have friend on the street. It's in the Bethlehem School District. Good luck. [content removed by moderator for being self promotional]

Best thing to do is contact a local agent that can give you an opinion based on market conditions, condition of the home, comparable sales and features your home may have to really determine the fair market value. While a great tool, the Zestimate will only give you a rough idea. Best of luck! [content removed by moderator for being self promotional]
