A free home valuation answers one question: what would a ready buyer pay for this house, on this street, this week. Portal estimates lean on tax records and a wide model. They miss the basement and last fall's HVAC.
St. Louis makes models worse. City blocks change value in a few hundred feet. County school lines do the same. A brick bungalow in Shaw and a brick bungalow six blocks south can be different products.
Richard starts with closed sales that match your property type, size, and condition. He prefers the nearest comparable streets over a ZIP-wide average. Then he looks at what is for sale this week. Buyers shop the actives.
You can ask without listing. Inherited houses and rentals use the same method with different constraints. The sell page starts here because every later decision hangs on the number.
Why it works
- Closed sales on comparable streets beat a ZIP average.
- Actives this week tell you what buyers are actually looking at.
- Condition is a pricing input. An original kitchen belongs in the original-kitchen set.
- You can ask without listing.
- Presentation changes speed more than it changes the ceiling.
