A realistic range
Not a single flattering number. A range, with the comparable sales it came from, so you can see the reasoning rather than trust it.
Not what an algorithm guessed. A real analysis, prepared by hand, with the reasoning shown.
Automated home value estimates are a starting point and are often wrong by a lot, because they do not know your condition, your updates or your immediate street. A comparative market analysis uses genuine recent sales of comparable homes near you, adjusted for the real differences. Adrian Wild prepares these by hand for homeowners across the Portland metro at no cost and with no obligation to list. Call (503) 380-8492 or use the contact page.

Sale price minus commission, title and escrow, likely repairs and prorated taxes. The figure that actually matters for your plans.
What to do before listing, ordered by what returns more than it costs, and what to leave alone.
Including, when it applies, that this is not the right six months and here is why.
Call (503) 380-8492 and say you want a valuation, or email adrian@adriansellshomes.net with your address. A walkthrough makes it much more accurate, so expect him to ask to come and see it. That takes about half an hour.
They are a starting point and frequently wrong by a wide margin. An automated model does not know that your kitchen was redone two years ago, that the house backs onto an arterial road, or that the comparable sale it used was a distressed sale. The error is worst on unusual properties, which in Portland is a lot of them.
A valuation built from genuine recent sales of comparable homes near yours, adjusted for the real differences in size, condition, age and location. It is what an agent uses and it is closer to what an appraiser does than anything an automated tool produces.
No, and it does not commit you to listing. Adrian prepares these regularly for people who turn out to be two years away from doing anything.
No. You will get the analysis and a conversation about it. If you want to be left alone afterwards, say so and you will be.
The address, roughly what you have done to the place, and your honest sense of its condition. A walkthrough makes it considerably more accurate, which is why he prefers to come and see it.
Plenty of these end with me saying your house is worth more than you thought and you should still wait a year.
