Home Valuation

What's Your Property Worth?

Understanding your home’s true market value is the foundation of a successful sale. Whether you’re selling a co-op, condo, or townhouse — our valuation process considers comparable sales, building-specific factors, current market conditions, and strategic pricing to maximize your outcome.

Every listing strategy is custom-built. We analyze absorption rates, competitive inventory, seasonal trends, and buyer demographics to position your property for optimal exposure and premium pricing. Discretion is always available for those who prefer off-market introductions.

What Is a Home Valuation?

A home valuation is a professional estimate of your property’s current market value. It takes into account your home’s condition, location, size, layout, building type, and recent comparable sales. For Manhattan, co-op vs. condo structure, maintenance charges, and floor height all play a critical role.

How Is It Calculated?

Your home’s valuation uses recent comparable sales, current market conditions, property-specific features, and neighborhood trends. We adjust for renovations, views, outdoor space, and building desirability. Co-op and condo valuations also factor in carrying costs and buyer eligibility.

How Accurate Are Online Estimates?

Online tools use algorithms based on public data — a helpful starting point but rarely accurate for Manhattan. They miss co-op vs. condo distinctions, building policies, and interior condition. A professional CMA provides a far more reliable and actionable estimate.

How Is a Valuation Performed?

Two Accurate Ways to Perform Home Valuations

Property Specific

Comparative Market Analysis

A CMA is a detailed, property-specific analysis that compares your home to similar properties that have recently sold, are currently on the market, or were listed but did not sell. Adjustments are made for differences in size, condition, floor level, building type, and amenities. A well-prepared CMA is the gold standard for pricing a home accurately and is essential for any serious listing strategy.

Appraisal

Based on a Professional's Opinion

A proper valuation begins with a thorough review of your property — either in person or through a detailed virtual walkthrough. We assess the condition of the unit, recent upgrades, layout efficiency, natural light, views, and building amenities. This is paired with a deep dive into comparable sales data, active listings, and market absorption rates. The result is a comprehensive pricing recommendation rooted in data and refined by local market expertise.

Why Is a Valuation Important?

Determine What Your Home Valuation “Puts On The Table”

 

Refinancing

Lenders base the majority of their loans on the value of your property and can only allow you to borrow a maximum of 75% to 90% against your property. Knowing your property's market value allows you to compare your equity in the home. The more equity you have, the better terms you will receive on your refinance.

Home Improvements

If you're doing home improvement projects to increase the resale value, you want to ensure you're not putting too much money in. If your home is already above the highest for your neighborhood — you may not be able to recoup all of those costs. Knowing your home's current value helps inform renovation investment decisions.

Qualifying for Credit

If you want to access cash against your home via a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), you must have a certain level of equity in your home. Most lenders require at least 20%. Getting a home valuation can tell you how much equity you have and help set realistic credit expectations.

Planning

Even if you're not immediately selling, knowing the value of your home is good information to have. It can help you plan for the future and deal with whatever circumstances come your way — whether that's retirement, family transitions, or evaluating investment opportunities.
