What’s My Home Worth in Ottawa?

Yes. There’s no cost and no catch. Preparing evaluations is part of how I meet people who may eventually decide to sell, and I’d rather earn that business by being useful now than by charging for information.

No. I’ll send your evaluation and follow up once to make sure you received it and to answer any questions. If you’d rather I didn’t contact you again, just say so and that’s the end of it. You will not be added to an automated drip campaign.

A desktop evaluation based on comparable sales, active competition, and current buyer demand is considerably more accurate than an automated online estimate, because it accounts for condition, layout, lot, finishes, and neighbourhood-specific demand that software can’t see.

For the most precise range, a short walk-through is the final step — but it’s entirely optional, and plenty of people never take it.

That’s completely fine, and it’s a good reason to get a proper number now. Knowing your equity position helps with planning — whether that’s a renovation, a refinance, a move up, or a downsize. There’s a “Just curious!” option on the form for exactly this reason.

Not to give you a range. I can prepare a solid evaluation from the property details, recent upgrades, and the comparable sales in your neighbourhood. A walk-through only happens if you want the number tightened up, and only at a time that suits you.

Automated estimates work from public data and averages. They don’t know that your kitchen was redone two years ago, that your lot backs onto green space, or that three similar homes on your street just sold above asking. I look at all of that, and I tell you what buyers in your neighbourhood are actually paying right now.
