You hear about home prices all the time. Just watch your local news and you'll hear how much the "average" home prices in your community are up or down compared to last month or last year. But averages don't tell you much about your individual home.

To find out how much your house is worth, you could ask a real estate agent to give you an estimate. They'll look at comparable homes in your neighborhood to see how much they sold for, with adjustments made for the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in your house. But if you just want a quick look, hit the best real estate sites.
