Median home values
Useful for reading an area. Not much use for pricing a house. Here is the difference, and how to get a figure that means something for yours.
Your property
Start with the address
Enter it here and you will carry it through to the evaluation request, where you can add the details that actually move a valuation. Martin or MaryEllen come back to you with a figure and the reasoning behind it. Nothing is calculated on this page.
Reading the market
What a median home value tells you
It is the most quoted number in residential property and the most frequently misread. Four things worth knowing before you use one.
A median is the middle sale, not the average
Line every sale in an area up by price and the median is the one in the middle. It is used instead of an average because a handful of waterfront sales would drag an average somewhere no ordinary house lives.
It describes an area, not your home
Two properties on the same street can be worth very different amounts — one renovated, one not; one facing the water, one facing the road; one with a working roof and one without. A median cannot see any of that.
It moves with what happened to sell
A quarter with several large sales lifts the median without any individual home being worth more. Read the direction over several periods rather than the change between two.
Condominiums and houses behave differently
In South Florida a condominium median is shaped by building age, association finances and insurance in a way a single-family median is not. Mixing the two together tells you very little.
By area

Automated estimates
About the numbers other sites show you
Most property portals put an estimated value on your home, and you have probably already looked at yours. They are worth understanding rather than dismissing — and worth knowing the limits of.
An automated estimate is produced by a statistical model that looks at recorded sales of properties it considers comparable and adjusts for the differences it knows about. It is arithmetic over public data, and it is only as good as that data.
- It works from recorded sales, public records and whatever the model can infer about size and condition — which is often out of date, and sometimes wrong.
- It cannot see a renovation you have not permitted, a new roof, a tenant in place, or the fact that the house next door runs a business from the garage.
- It is a statistical model over comparable sales — not artificial intelligence, and not a valuation.
- Lenders do not accept one. A mortgage rests on an appraisal by a licensed appraiser.
This website does not generate one
There is no estimate tool on this site, and no figure is calculated anywhere on it. When we give you a number it is because a person looked at your property and at the sales it should be compared against, and can tell you which ones and why.
If market figures are published here in future, each one will carry the source it came from and the period it covers.

No cost, no obligation to list, and no automated number. Martin or MaryEllen prepare an opinion of value from comparable sales and from the property itself — and they will show you their working.
