How to know what your home is worth

AI summary
A registered property valuation provides an accurate assessment of a home's worth, often required by banks for loans. These reports, starting from around $1,000, offer a comprehensive data-driven analysis.
Valuers assess multiple factors, including:
- The house: its size, layout, condition, and materials.
- The land: zoning, title type, and risks like flooding.
- The area: school zones, amenities, and street appeal.
They also consider the current market context and recent comparable sales to determine the final value.
