What Is My
Home Worth in
Central Florida?

Zillow's Zestimate can be off by 10–20%. A free Comparative Market Analysis from Kelly and Ray uses real closed sales, current inventory, and local market knowledge to give you a number you can actually negotiate from.

The Truth About Online Estimates

Why Zestimates Are Not Your Home's Value

Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com all publish automated estimates. They're useful for a rough range — but they pull from public records, tax assessments, and algorithms that don't see inside your home, don't know your renovations, and can't feel the difference between a premium lake view lot and a standard interior lot two streets over.

❌ What Zestimates Miss

Interior condition, recent renovations, pool upgrades, lot position, school zone premium, HOA quality, and hyperlocal demand patterns that only a working agent sees week to week.

✅ What a CMA Includes

3–6 months of comparable closed sales, active competition, withdrawn listings, days on market trends, price-per-square-foot analysis, and a list price recommendation you can act on.

💰 The Stakes

Pricing too low in a strong market leaves $20,000–$50,000 on the table. Pricing too high means weeks of DOM that signal desperation. A professional CMA gets you to the right number first.

Common Questions

What Is My Home Worth — FAQ

How accurate is Zillow's Zestimate?+
Zillow reports a median error rate of 2–4% for on-market homes and 6–8% for off-market homes — but in practice, individual estimates can be 10–20% off in markets with limited comparable sales, unique features, or rapid price changes. A local agent CMA is significantly more accurate.
How long does a CMA take?+
A professional Comparative Market Analysis from Kelly and Ray takes approximately 24–48 hours. You'll receive a written report with comparable sales data, current competition analysis, and a recommended list price range.
Does getting a home valuation obligate me to sell?+
No. A free CMA is informational only. Many homeowners request valuations to understand their equity position, plan a future sale, or evaluate a refinance. There is no obligation to list your home.
What's the difference between an appraisal and a CMA?+
A licensed appraisal is required by lenders for mortgage purposes and typically costs $400–$600. A CMA is a free agent-prepared market analysis used to determine the right listing price. Both use comparable sales data — appraisals have more legal standing, CMAs are faster and free.
How often should I check my home's value?+
In an active market, checking your home value every 6–12 months gives you a clear picture of your equity position. If you've done major renovations, checking before and after completion helps quantify the return on your investment.
