Short of having a full blown (paid) appraisal, what is the best resource for determining a property's value for the purpose of refinancing?

Most counties tax assessors office will list comparable sold properties in your neighborhood.. there's also Zillow or Trulia.. you can filter your search for properties that sold within the last 3 to 6 months for more accurate evaluations.. Also, if you know a real estate professional, they can also give you an idea.. or go to realtor.com and see what homes like yours in your neighborhood are listed for.. between all these resources, you should get close.. but nothing beats an appraisal..

I have used a couple sites that will get you in the ballpark...eppraisal.com and Refin also has a value function....hope this helps.

Sorry, typo...Redfin.

I would recommend contacting a local realtor and get a realtors price opinion of value. It's called a BPO
