If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
