If You’re Asking “How Much Is My House Worth,” Start Here
Home value is usually a range, not one perfect number. In King County, the best starting point is recent comparable sales (comps), then adjusting for condition, upgrades, and micro-location (even within the same city). Here are three common ways homeowners estimate what a house is worth:
Online Estimate (Fast Starting Point)
- Fast and free (good for a rough range)
- Can be off for unique homes, remodels, or deferred maintenance
- Use it as a start, then confirm with true sold comps
CMA / Pricing Review (Comps-Based)
- Market-based review using sold comps + active/pending listings
- Adjusts for condition, upgrades, layout, lot, and neighborhood
- Useful before listing or when weighing “sell vs keep vs rent”
Professional Appraisal (Most Formal)
- Licensed appraiser’s written opinion of value
- Often used for refinance, divorce/separation, inheritance, or disputes
- More formal and consistent when stakes are high
Participating Providers Program (Reserved Access)

FAQ
How much is my house worth in King County, WA?
In most cases, it’s a range, not one perfect number. Start with recent nearby sold homes (true comps), then adjust for condition, upgrades, and micro-location. Online estimates can help you start, but for higher-stakes decisions (divorce, refinance, inheritance, urgent sale), a CMA or a licensed appraisal may be more reliable.
What’s the difference between a CMA and an appraisal?
A CMA (comparative market analysis) is a market-based pricing review often prepared by a real estate professional. An appraisal is completed by a licensed appraiser and is typically more formal (often used by lenders or courts).
