What is my home worth, without an instant estimate?
Updated November 6, 2026
The honest answer is a market assessment from a licensed agent who looks at the sales around your street, your home's condition and what is on the market now, and it is free. An instant estimate is a formula that has never seen your kitchen; it is a starting point at best and misleading at worst, and no licensed agent would price your listing from one.
On LIQWD you fill in one form and a verified local agent prepares the assessment. No number is invented on the way.
What the agent looks at
Recent sales of homes like yours nearby, what is listed now and how long it has been sitting, your home's size, condition and any work you have done, and the timing you have in mind. That is a comparative market analysis, and it is what a listing decision is based on.
What happens after you ask
You get LIQWD's confirmation at once. Verified agents who work your city are told, the one who takes your request contacts you directly, and a LIQWD team member follows up if nobody has within a few hours. Your details go to LIQWD and that agent, nobody else.

- No. An appraisal is a regulated report a lender orders. A market assessment is a licensed agent's professional opinion of what your home would likely sell for today.
- Am I obliged to list with the agent?
- No. The assessment is free and there is no obligation.
- Why does the census value on a neighbourhood page differ?
- That figure is what owners reported their homes were worth in May 2021. It is a context number, not a current value.
