Free home value report
How much is your Utah home worth?
If you own a home on the Wasatch Front, the online estimate you saw is probably not the number a buyer would actually pay. The honest answer comes from the homes that really sold near yours.
Your home’s value is what a qualified buyer will pay today. The most reliable way to find it is a comparative market analysis (CMA): a licensed agent prices your home from the 3–5 most similar recent closed sales nearby. You get that range free here, within 24 hours, with no obligation. Before you list, I walk the home, because condition and updates decide where in the range your price belongs.
- Built from actual closed sales near your home — not an algorithm.

- I walk the home before recommending a list price. That is what makes the number real.
- Free and no obligation. No listing agreement, no pressure.

How a real home value report works
When you request the report, I pull the recent closed sales that genuinely match your home — same area, similar size, age, and condition. Not every sale within a mile counts: a home with an unfinished basement, a busy-road lot, or a full remodel has to be adjusted before it says anything true about yours. That adjustment work is the difference between a real value range and a guess.
You get a written report with the value range, the comparable sales behind it, and what I’d expect your home to sell for in today’s market, usually within 24 hours. If you decide to list, I walk the home before we set a price. Photos and county records miss condition, updates and layout, and those decide where in the range your number belongs. From there the next step is a seller net sheet that turns that price into your actual take-home number, and a look at how I sell homes. If you’re just curious where you stand, that’s a perfectly good reason too.
Home value report vs. online estimate
Online estimates (the Zestimate and its cousins) are computed from county records and broad regional averages. They’re fast and free — and they cannot see the things that decide what your home actually sells for: your kitchen, your lot, your home’s condition, the finished basement the county never recorded, or how many buyers are competing in your neighborhood this month.
A CMA starts from a different place: the homes around yours that really closed, adjusted for the real differences. It’s the same analysis an appraisal is built on. For a deeper look at where online estimates go wrong on the Wasatch Front, read What’s my home worth? CMA vs. online estimate.

What actually moves your Utah home’s value
Five things carry most of the weight right now: mortgage rates (they set what buyers can afford to offer), local inventory (how many similar homes are competing with yours), condition and updates, finished square footage, and lot and location factors like commute access. Utah’s market also moves city-by-city — Lehi and Eagle Mountain don’t behave like Draper or Highland in the same month.
That’s why a number from six months ago, or an algorithm averaging the whole county, can be stale for your street today — and why the report prices your home from what’s closing around it now.
Frequently asked questions
How much is my house worth right now?
Your home is worth what a qualified buyer will pay for it today, and the most reliable way to find that number is a comparative market analysis (CMA) built from the 3–5 most similar homes that actually closed near you recently. Request the free report on this page and within 24 hours you’ll have that range, with the comparable sales behind it. Before you list, I walk the home. Condition, updates and layout decide where in that range your price belongs, so I won’t recommend a list price without seeing it first.
How accurate are online home value estimates like the Zestimate?
Online estimates are computed from county records and broad averages, so they can’t see your remodeled kitchen, your lot, your home’s condition, or what buyers are doing in your neighborhood this month. They’re a reasonable starting point, but on any individual Wasatch Front home they can miss by tens of thousands of dollars in either direction. A CMA prices your home from the sales that actually closed around it.
What is a CMA (comparative market analysis)?
A CMA is how a licensed agent prices a home: pull the most recent closed sales that genuinely match yours — same area, similar size, age, and condition — then adjust for the differences (a finished basement, a third-car garage, a busy road) to land on a supportable value range. It’s the same analysis an appraiser’s report is built on, done before you ever list.
Is the home value report really free?
Yes. The report is free, there’s no obligation, and requesting it doesn’t sign you up for anything — no listing agreement, no pressure. Cory Salisbury is a licensed Utah REALTOR® with Simple Choice Real Estate; some homeowners use the report to plan a sale, others just want to know where they stand. Both are welcome.
What makes a Utah home’s value go up or down?
The biggest drivers right now: mortgage rates (they set what buyers can afford to offer), local inventory (how many similar homes are for sale near yours), condition and updates, finished square footage, and lot and location factors like commute access. That’s why a number from six months ago — or a national algorithm — can be stale for your street today.
