Key factors influencing home valuation include:

• Property Condition: Well-maintained properties with modern amenities tend to have higher valuations.
• Property Size: Larger properties generally have higher values, especially if the square footage is well-distributed.
• Location: Properties in desirable neighbourhoods with access to amenities, good schools, and low crime rates tend to have higher valuations.
• Market Trends: Current market trends, including recent sales of comparable properties, significantly influence your home's value.

The frequency of home valuations depends on various factors, including your property's purpose, market conditions, and personal preferences. However, here are some general guidelines for how often you should consider having your home value assessed:

• 1. For Selling, Buying or Refinancing: If you're planning to sell your home or refinance your mortgage, a recent home valuation is crucial for determining your property's value. Lenders typically require a valuation within the past 6-12 months to substantiate the loan amount.
• 2. For Tax Purposes: If you've made significant improvements to your home, a home valuation can help you determine your property tax assessment and potentially lower your tax bill. It's recommended to have a home valuation done after major renovations or additions.
• 3. For Estate Planning: An up-to-date home valuation can be valuable for estate planning purposes, ensuring an accurate assessment of your property's value for inheritance and tax purposes. Consider getting a home valuation every 3-5 years for estate planning purposes.
• 4. For Tracking Market Value: Even if you're not considering selling or refinancing, an occasional home valuation can help you track the changing value of your home in the current market. This can be helpful for making financial decisions or negotiating property taxes.

In addition to these general guidelines, consider getting a home valuation if:

• • There's been a significant change in your neighbourhood or surrounding area
• • You've made substantial improvements to your home
• • You're concerned about the accuracy of your current property tax assessment
• • You want to have an accurate valuation for personal reasons
