What is my house worth if I inherited it and never lived there?

An inherited house you never lived in is valued the same way as any other property, by comparing it to recent comparable closings that share its location, condition and lot, not by any special inheritance formula. Heirs should confirm the stepped-up tax basis at the date of death with a CPA before estimating a future capital gain if the home is sold. Brian Beatty builds that comparison for heirs regardless of whether they ever occupied the property.
