If you really want to be sure you are getting accurate information about the value of your house/ home, then you would need to get in touch with a realtor specifically that works with buyers and sellers looking in your area.  Some home buyers and sellers search online looking at sites such as Trulia, Redfin and Zillow.  Not a good idea!!  These sites generally provide estimates of home values.  Determining the value of your home is more that just saying “The Jones’ house down the street sold for $250,000 last month”.  Maybe the Jones’ didn’t have wood floors or granite counter-tops in the kitchen.  The condition of the home plays a very important role in determining the value along with any extra amenities that it may or may not have. Be sure to tidy up the home and your realtor can suggest a home staging company to arrange items in your home for the best first impression.  Sometimes having a house on a corner lot will bring more interest from the buyers.  Having the expertise of a realtor is going to be the best route.
