Determine Market Value

How do you determine market value in today's market? I will start with some things that do not determine value. What you paid for the home, what you would like to net from the sale, what your friends or family think it's worth. In many cases certain upgrades will not help determine the value. The value is determined by active and recently closed homes, market conditions, interest rates and your terms offered as a seller. Style and condition of the home play vital roles as well.
