The Real Value of a Personalized Home Evaluation

When it comes to selling your home, one of the most important steps is pricing it correctly from the start. The right price attracts serious buyers and maximizes your sale. While sites like Zillow or Redfin offer quick estimates, they can’t see inside your home — and that’s where true value lies.

At Tenhave Realty, we take a hands-on, personalized approach to valuation. Every home tells a story, and details like the age and condition of your kitchen, bathrooms, mechanical systems, and finishes can dramatically affect market value. Our goal is to give you a realistic range based on how your home actually compares to others that have recently sold nearby.

Condition Matters — Especially Kitchens and Baths

Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most value-sensitive areas in any home. Outdated finishes, aging fixtures, or original cabinetry can pull your value down — while remodeled spaces with modern layouts, quality materials, and energy-efficient updates can lift your home into a higher price bracket.

Automated valuation tools can’t tell the difference between a 1990s oak kitchen and a 2022 quartz-and-stainless renovation. A local Realtor can. We physically assess updates, materials, and condition to ensure your valuation reflects today’s buyer expectations and current market realities.

Real Comps, Not Random Numbers

Determining value isn’t about guessing or averaging automated estimates. It’s about analyzing comparable homes — those that match yours in size, location, and condition.

We identify the most relevant recent sales, calculate their dollars-per-square-foot range, and translate that to your home’s square footage and features. From there, we provide a realistic range of what your home might sell for in the current market — not just what a website’s formula predicts.

Factors We Consider

• Location: Neighborhood appeal, schools, walkability, and amenities.

• Market Conditions: Inventory, buyer demand, and interest rates.

• Condition: Overall upkeep and the presence (or absence) of recent updates.

• Land Value: Lot size, privacy, and setting.

• Amenities: Garages, finished basements, outdoor living spaces, and premium finishes.

• Layout & Square Footage: The functionality of your floor plan, not just its size.

Why a Realtor’s Valuation Outperforms an Online Estimate

Algorithms can’t see craftsmanship, smell fresh paint, or recognize a brand-new kitchen. They don’t know your roof was replaced last year or your bathroom was fully renovated with marble tile. And they can’t tell the difference between a home that’s been meticulously maintained and one that’s long overdue for updates.

A professional Realtor brings market insight, experience, and human judgment to the equation. We study recent sales, assess your home’s individual characteristics, and deliver a valuation that reflects what buyers in your area are actually willing to pay today.
