Why this blended average doesn't tell you your specific home's value
This blends genuinely different property types and lot settings, from VRE-adjacent townhomes to wooded riverfront single-family homes — your specific home's value depends far more on its exact type, location, and condition.
Why the timing of your comp pull matters
Given the genuine shift documented across 2026, a comp pulled from earlier in the year may already be stale — always confirm your agent is using the most current available sales data for your specific property type.
Why an agent's local knowledge beats a generic algorithm
Lorton's genuine mix of property types and lot settings means a truly accurate valuation requires someone who understands the real differences between a VRE-adjacent townhome and a wooded single-family home near Occoquan. An experienced local agent brings context that no automated estimate can fully replicate, particularly during a year of genuine market transition like 2026.

One more thing worth knowing: pricing even slightly too high can actually cost you more than pricing accurately from day one, since stale listings often sell for less than a well-priced new listing would have.
As always, the specifics of your situation matter more than general rules of thumb, so treat this as a starting point for a real conversation rather than a final answer.
