Home Valuation

What's your home worth in today's market?

Enter your address and a few details about your home. You'll get a report immediately — built from seven valuation methods and live Canopy MLS data: the comparable sales, what's competing with you right now, and a real value range for your home.

The one thing the instant report doesn't give you is the final number — and there's an honest reason. What your home is actually worth depends on its condition, updates and finishes, and no algorithm and no set of photos can assess that. So a True North broker reviews your report, walks the home with you, and gives you the final number then. Free, and no obligation to list.

What You'll Get

A real report — not a one-line estimate.

These are actual pages from a True North Realty home value report. The comparable sales it used, what's competing with you right now, how fast homes are moving, the pricing strategy behind the range, and how every figure was reached. The one number it withholds is the final list price — because that depends on condition, updates and finishes, which can only be judged by standing in the home. Your broker gives it to you at the walkthrough. Free, no obligation to list.

What's happening in your community

Average sale price, price per square foot, days on market and how much of asking price sellers are actually getting — plus the recent closed sales near you, with what buyers really paid.

Why an online estimate isn't your number

A side-by-side of what an automated estimate can see (public records, broad models) against what a licensed local broker checks — so you know exactly what you're comparing.

What list price actually costs you

How many qualified buyers see your home at market versus 5% and 10% over — and how buyer interest falls week by week after launch. This is the section that pays for itself.

Live data, seven valuation methods

County tax and property records, closed comparable sales from the last twelve months, and seven independent valuation methods weighted by proximity and recency — run for your address.

The North Carolina selling timeline

Pre-listing prep through closing day, with realistic durations — including how due diligence works here and why net proceeds differ from sale price.

Your home at a glance

Beds, baths, square footage, year built, lot size and property type — pulled for your address and confirmed with you before anything is calculated.

Sample pages from a real True North Realty report. Property details, owner information and addresses have been replaced with demonstration data, and the recommended value figures are obscured — those are shared with you at your walkthrough.

How It's Calculated

Seven valuation methods, reconciled.

Automated estimates run one model over public records. We run seven independent reads on your home, find where they agree, and discard the ones the data can't support.

  1. 01

    Weighted comparable sales

    Every recent closed sale near you is scored on how close, how recent, and how similar it is to your home — then outliers are trimmed before anything is averaged.

  2. 02

    Size-adjusted sale price

    Each comparable is adjusted up or down for the square footage difference against your home, so a bigger or smaller neighbor doesn't quietly skew your number.

  3. 03

    Subdivision price per square foot

    When your home sits in a named subdivision, sales inside that same subdivision are run as their own tighter analysis — the closest read there is.

  4. 04

    Area price per square foot and median

    A broader city and area analysis, plus a median sanity check, catches when a small comp set is telling a misleading story.

  5. 05

    Assessed value ratio

    County tax and parcel records are pulled for your address and converted to market value using local assessment-to-sale ratios as an independent cross-check.

  6. 06

    Market velocity adjustment

    Days on market, absorption rate, active competition, and the average close-to-list ratio adjust the result for what the market is actually doing right now.

  7. 07

    Agent hand review and walkthrough — free

    A licensed True North Realty broker reviews the whole picture, then walks the home. Condition, updates, finishes, layout and views are worth real money and no algorithm — and no set of photos — can assess them. That walkthrough is where the final number comes from.
