Type the asking price, then three to six SOLD homes nearby. The comps tell you what the house is really worth - before anyone whose paycheck grows with the price tells you theirs.
The numbers above are a worked example - replace every one with your own comps. SOLD prices only, never listed prices: sold in the last 90 days, within about half a mile, same property type, size within 10 - 20 percent. Three comps minimum; five or six is sharper. The free method is in Level 7.
The listing page shows how long it has been for sale. Time on market is the market already voting on the price.
Every big listing site shows the price history. A cut is the seller answering the market out loud.
Computed automatically from the comps you typed above. A tight range means strong evidence; a wide one means the comps are not really comparable.
The Level 7 warning, repeated on purpose: price per square foot is a compass, not a ruler. It flattens away the remodeled kitchen, the busy street, the cracked foundation. Use this range to know the neighborhood - then adjust with your own eyes, the way the lesson taught. An AVM (a “Zestimate”) is a stranger's guess at a county fair: interesting, sometimes close, never the final word.
