What’s my Wilmington home worth?

Wilmington changes from block to block, and pricing a home here starts with that. Brick rowhomes and twins line many city streets. Near Trolley Square and Brandywine Park, older homes sit on tree-lined blocks close to restaurants. The Riverfront has newer condominiums and apartments by the water, and the northern edge of the city leads into the ranch and split-level streets of Brandywine Hundred.

Buyers ask about the Amtrak and SEPTA station, I-95 and I-495, and how close a home is to Market Street, Union Street or the Riverfront walk. Rockford Park and the Brandywine are nearby for many neighborhoods.

In a city like this, parking, lot size, the age of the systems and the condition of the street all move value. A citywide number won’t tell you much. We compare your home with recent sales on the same or similar blocks, adjust for what is different, and explain each step in writing. If your home is a condominium, we also look at the association fees and what they cover.

If you own a twin or a rowhome, details like a finished basement, a rear deck, off-street parking or updated windows can set your home apart from the one next door. For homes in Brandywine Hundred and the edges of the city, lot size and garages tend to matter more. Tell us about your updates and anything that still needs work, and we will include it all in the comparison.

• A comparative market analysis. Recent sales of homes like yours, side by side, with what makes each one more or less like your home.
• A price range with reasons. Each adjustment for size, condition, updates and lot is explained. No automated number and no guesswork.
• What helps and what doesn’t. Which updates are worth doing before a sale, and which ones to skip.
• Your estimated net. If you are thinking of selling, a simple sheet of what you could walk away with after costs.
