If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.
