Formula & Theory — US Home Value Calculator
A quick home valuation multiplies size by adjusted price per square foot. The US Home Value Calculator captures the most common adjustments—condition, age, renovation, and market heat—to provide a balanced range similar to lender AVMs.
Adjusted ppsf = Base ppsf × condition × age × renovated × market heat
Estimated value = Sqft × Adjusted ppsf
Low / High = Estimated × (1 ± 8%)| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sqft | Living area |
| Base ppsf | Local average price per sqft |
| Condition | Subjective condition factor |
| Market heat | Demand-supply adjustment |
