Home Value Estimator (US)

Estimate your home's value using the cost approach with replacement cost and depreciation.

Replacement cost: $100-$250/sqft typical
Structure only; land doesn't depreciate
Cost Approach:
Replacement Cost = Sq Ft × Cost/Sq Ft
Depreciated Value = Replacement × (1 − Depr Rate × Age)
Home Value = Depreciated Structure + Land Value
