These are wooded lots located in an undeveloped section of Perdido Bay Country Club Estates. Perdido Bay Country Club Estates is a well-established subdivision that is minutes from the beautiful white sand beaches of Perdido Key, shopping and NAS Pensacola. These lots are part of that platted subdivision, but there is no infrastructure in this section of the neighborhood. This is an excellent opportunity for a developer or builder.

Find Out What Your Home is Worth

I am pleased to announce that I can now offer a great free service that allows homeowners to get a quick estimate of their home's value. If you have already signed up with my website to receive listings, it will be a two-step process. If not, you'll need to sign up, which just takes a small amount of information to get to the final steps. The good news about signing up is that you can get notices when a property in your neighborhood is sold and see the amount of the sale! This will go a long way towards making you fully informed about your home's worth.

First the form. You'll find this on the sidebar of my website or you can go to it right from here!

Thinking about Selling?

home 
prices and valuation report

Next you'll see a screen where you fill out the complete address of the home that you would like to obtain the value. Once you fill out the address, you will come to a verification page. Below, I have done a sample transaction. (property address is not accurate)

Home Valuation Tool

If you're already signed in to the website, the next step will take you to a detailed report of your home's value. If not, you'll see this next.

Home Valuation Sign Up

When you fill this out, or if you're already signed in, this is what the detailed information will show you!

Home Valuation Results

Note all of the information that it gives you. In this situation, I used a home that has been owned for many years. Normally, you would see the amount of the previous sale of your home. Also, note that it gives you a low range estimate, a high range estimate, and a best guess of what it is worth. In addition, it even tells you how much confidence it has that the estimate is correct! My tool is far more accurate than any Zillow 'zestimate'.

In addition to the fair market value, note that it even gives you an estimate on what you could get in rent for the home, should you choose to keep it as a rental. This information could possibly change your mind about selling. The rent from your old home could possibly make the payments on the new one. Usually rental rates are several hundred dollars higher than mortgage payments.

Finally, it provides you with a list of neighborhood homes that have sold and their selling price. This is such great information when you're considering selling your home.

Homes sold in your neighborhood from our Valuation tool

I hope you'll find this tool useful and will give it a try! Please leet me know if I can help!
