Cleaning: Thoroughly clean every inch of your home, including windows, carpets, and hard-to-reach areas.
-
Making repairs: Address any minor issues, such as cracked tiles or leaky faucets, to show potential buyers that your home has been well-maintained.

When it comes to understanding the differences between home value and home equity, it's important to remember that these two concepts are closely related but not the same. In this blog post, we'll delve into the key comparison points between the two and help you determine which of these factors matter most to you as a homeowner.
Understanding Home Value
Home value refers to the current market value of your property. This means that if you were to sell your home today, your home value would represent the price at which you could sell it. Home value is based on a variety of factors, including the location, size, amenities, and overall condition of your home. In addition, it takes into account the prices of comparable properties in your area.
A homeowner's home value is critical when selling a property, determining property taxes, or refinancing a mortgage. A home with a high market value is typically seen as more desirable and can be sold for a higher price than those with lower market values. However, because home values can fluctuate over time due to changing market conditions or home improvements, it is essential to keep an eye on your home's value regularly.

Unveiling Home Equity
On the other hand, home equity is a calculation of your home's value minus the amount you still owe on your mortgage or any other outstanding loans tied to your property. In simpler terms, think of home equity as the portion of your home that you truly "own." It is an essential financial tool that can be utilized to secure lines of credit, home equity loans, or even fund major expenses like remodels.
As you continue to make mortgage payments and potentially implement home improvements, your home equity can increase. Conversely, if you take out additional loans against your home, your equity may decrease. Like home value, home equity can also be impacted by market fluctuations and changes in property values.
