Introduction
If you’ve ever wondered, “How much is my home worth in Bastrop?”, you’re not alone. Whether you’re planning to sell, refinance, or just curious, knowing your home’s value helps you make smarter financial decisions.
Here are five smart ways to estimate your property’s worth—plus one method to avoid.
1. Use a Home Value Estimator Tool
Sites like Zillow or Realtor.com provide instant automated estimates based on recent sales. These tools are convenient, but not always accurate for Bastrop’s diverse housing stock.
⚠️ Caution: They can be off by 10–20% or more, especially in rural or custom home areas.
2. Check Recent Comparable Sales (Comps)
Look at homes within 1 mile of yours that have:
- Sold in the last 3–6 months
- Similar square footage, bed/bath count
- Similar lot size and features
You can do this through public county records or MLS listings—or have an agent (like me) pull them for you.
3. Request a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)
A CMA is a professional estimate of your home’s market value, prepared by a real estate agent using current, local data and property condition insights.
✅ Free CMA reports available — just ask.
4. Appraisal
A licensed appraiser provides a detailed report based on your home, neighborhood, and condition. It’s the gold standard but usually costs $400–$600.
5. Tax Assessed Value
Your Bastrop County tax-assessed value is not your market value—but it gives you a rough ballpark. Be careful, though—it’s often lower than what your home would sell for.
Final Thoughts
If you’re serious about selling or investing, don’t rely on guesswork or algorithms. A custom CMA from a Bastrop market expert will give you the most accurate and actionable number.
