Tip 1. Determine the lowest price you are willing to accept

• To learn the value of your home yourself, locate several homes in your neighborhood that are comparable to yours that are for sale or sold recently and inquire as to their selling price.

• Ask real estate professionals. They may give you this information at no cost, but some real estate professionals may contact you repeatedly later in order to obtain your listing.

• Hire an appraiser if your house is unusual or you want somebody to do all the work. It may cost you several hundred dollars.

• Ask your title company. Usually this service is free.

• Look for the information on the Internet. For example, our section Appraisal Services has a great deal of valuable information including how to set a price for your home.
