Yet, while you can check the real-time value of your stock portfolio with a single click, getting an up-to-date picture of your home\u2019s value has historically been complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Zolo, we believe that you deserve to understand your home\u2019s value online with clarity. That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to introduce our new property value estimate tool, powered by the same data that financial providers and insurance companies use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-is-my-home-worth:-leveraging-real-time-data\">How Much Is My Home Worth: Leveraging Real-Time Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet our tool: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/how-much-is-my-home-worth\">How Much Is My Property Worth<\/a>.

In addition, you should consider keeping track of your home\u2019s value if you plan to refinance your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a home valuation affect my property taxes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Property taxes are based on the assessed value of your home and the local property tax rate. While assessed value and market valuation are calculated using many of the same data points, assessed values are typically determined by property assessment professionals and often differ from a home&#8217;s current market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between an appraisal and an online home value estimate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An online home value estimator provides an estimate of your home\u2019s market value, which can be used as a starting point when listing your home for sale. On the other hand, a home appraisal is a comprehensive opinion of your home\u2019s worth, typically used for mortgage purposes, and is performed by a licensed home appraiser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get an up-to-date picture of your home\u2019s value with Zolo&#8217;s home value calculator, using real comps, market data, and property features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":25499,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,5],"tags":[],"guide":[],"class_list":["post-25496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-selling","category-news-trends"],"acf":[],"zolo_excerpt":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/112"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25496"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25496\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25535,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25496\/revisions\/25535"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25496"},{"taxonomy":"guide","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zolo.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide?post=25496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
