Real Estate Valuation Websites
Here are ten great websites that may be helpful in determining the value of your real estate parcel.

1. Zillow is the behemoth of free home value websites and scores a 10 on both the fun factor and name recognition.

2. Real Estate ABC is a great alternative to Zillow and appears to provide very accurate home values. One cool feature it offers is a list of potentially comparable homes that you can select from to be included in the valuation. The idea is that you know best which homes in your neighborhood are true comparables to your home, and Real Estate ABC gives you the option to select those homes and exclude the others.

3. Eppraisal, in addition to home values, provides demographic data about the neighborhood, including education, finances and employment.

4. Reply has a clean looking interface and provides a confidence rating for each of its appraisals based on various factors related to the comparable homes used to generate the appraisal. In the case of my childhood home, the confidence rating was 92%.

5. Yahoo! generates its home values using Zillow, Eppraisal and Reply, so you can quickly and easily see three appraisals for your home, with links to each of the three websites.

6. HomeGain offers market and census data in addition to home values.

7. CyberHomes is a no nonsense home valuation tool.

8. Property Shark?s database is very limited but it may grow to become more dependable as time goes on.

9. HouseFront is another alternative with what appears to be reasonably accurate home values.

10. Rentometer doesn?t provide the value of the home, it provides the estimated rent one would pay to rent the home.
