Determining your home's value is a crucial step before selling. This guide outlines several methods for a realistic estimate.

Use Trade Me’s free Property Insights tool for an online valuation based on market data, sales history, and council records. Alternatively, request a current market appraisal (CMA) from a real estate agent or obtain a detailed professional valuation from a registered valuer, which is especially useful for private sales.

Staying informed on market trends with the Property Price Index is also essential.
