There are several sites out there that show you your property on a satelite map. And they give you the worth of it. While we all know that prices have skyrocketed, unless we hire an appraiser (about $300), most of us dont really know what our property is really worth now. (Thank god Assessments have not kept up!).
But there is one. zillow.com. It is not accurate. but my neighbor just put his house on the market, so I compared his asking price to zillow and then added the difference of Zillow to my value on zillow. WOW! We are talking about an 80% bump since I bought it! (about 5 years ago now). My 401ks have not done so well! I have to get in on the crunchman! I am property rich! (if money poor).
Thanks Zillow! I dont know the exact value, but I got a pretty good idea. I am going to be watching my neighbor to see how it does on the market. Not selling soon, but hmmmmmm......I can see doing it maybe next year!
