How much is my home worth after all these years?

A home's worth after many years of ownership comes from comparing it to what similar properties have recently sold for nearby, not from the years themselves or what was originally paid for it. Renovations, deferred maintenance and shifts in the surrounding block all move that number independently of how long an owner has lived there. Brian Beatty builds that comparison from current, comparable closings so a long-time owner sees a number grounded in the current market.
