What is my Houston home worth?
Get a real Houston home valuation. Not a Zestimate.
Line-by-line comps from the last 90 days, micro-market reality, and a clear net sheet — walked through with you. No commitment to list.
Quick answer
How much is my Houston home actually worth?
The real value of your Houston home is set by what comparable homes in your specific micro-market actually closed for in the last 90 days — after concessions, after appraisal adjustments, and adjusted for your home's condition, layout, lot, and renovations. Algorithmic estimates (Zestimate, Redfin Estimate) miss these. CGP's no-commitment Houston home valuation pulls live MLS comps for your neighborhood, walks the math with you, and gives you a real range — usually within 1–2 business days of a short call.
What makes a Houston home valuation accurate
- Real closed comps from the last 90 days.Not asking prices, not Zestimates, not last year's data.
- Concession and appraisal adjustments. A home that closed at $425k with $15k of seller concessions effectively sold for $410k. The headline number lies.
- Micro-market specificity.Cypress isn't one market. Bridgeland prices differently than Coles Crossing. Comps should come from your specific subdivision and similar homes.
- Condition adjustment.Same square footage doesn't mean same value. Updates, layout, lot, age of systems, and curb-appeal adjustments all factor in.
- Current inventory pressure.What's active and pending in your area today shapes how aggressively to price.

When a CGP valuation makes sense
- You're considering selling in the next 6–12 months.
- You're thinking about a 1031 exchange or portfolio move.
- You're refinancing and want a sanity check on the AVM.
- You inherited a Houston property and need to understand value.
- You're estate-planning and need to document current market value.
- You're just curious — and that's fine.
Not a Zestimate. Here's why that matters.
Algorithmic valuations like Zestimate and Redfin Estimate are national models running on public data — tax records, listing history, broad neighborhood signals. They don't walk your home, don't see your renovations, don't know your micro- market is hotter or colder this quarter than the broader area. They're directionally useful but, in our team's experience, often differ meaningfully from a real CMA built on closed comps and condition adjustments. Don't price a listing on one.
Frequently Asked
Houston home valuation questions sellers ask us.
How accurate is a Zestimate for my Houston home?
Zestimate is a national algorithm running on public data. It misses condition, recent renovations, layout quality, lot specifics, and micro-market timing. For a quick directional read it's fine; for pricing a listing it isn't. In our team's experience on Houston-metro homes, Zestimate frequently differs meaningfully from a real CMA built on closed comps and condition adjustments.
What's the difference between a CMA and an appraisal?
A CMA (comparative market analysis) is what listing agents prepare to recommend a list price — based on comps, condition, and current market. An appraisal is a licensed third-party valuation tied to a loan transaction. CMAs are free and directional. Appraisals cost $400–$700 and are required by lenders.
How long does a CGP home valuation take?
We typically deliver an initial range within 1–2 business days of a 15-minute call. A full CMA with line-by-line comps and a net sheet comes after we walk the home (or review video for relocating sellers).
Will I get pressured to list with you?
No. The valuation is no-commitment. Plenty of sellers we talk to decide to wait, refinance, rent the property, or list later. The valuation conversation is useful either way — even if you don't sell.
What information do you need from me to value my home?
Address, recent renovations or upgrades, any condition issues to flag, your timeline, and your reason for selling (or considering it). We pull tax records, MLS history, and current micro-market comps from there.
