What is a Listimate™?

A Listimate™ is a home value estimate based on our proprietary system of determining a home’s value, or the dollar value of a home if listed for sale at the time of the estimate.

We created this system based on over 30+ years of experience in retail residential real estate resale properties.

We consider Listimates™ as the true current market value of a specific property. If you decide to list your home with Guthrie Group Homes, your Listimate™ will be the price we recommend you use as the asking price for your home.

How is a Listimate™ different from Zillow’s Zestimate?

We suggest you read our article “Comparative Market Analysis vs. Zestimate“.

How Accurate Is It?

Our track record speaks for itself. 99% of our listings sell at or above the asking price, and they sell fast!

🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

Thinking about selling this year? You're not alone Thinking about selling this year? You're not alone. The 2026 real estate market is presenting some great opportunities for homeowners who are ready to make a move.
Here are 3 clear signs it might be time to sell:
1. You've Outgrown Your Space
Whether you need an extra bedroom, a home office, or just more room to breathe, feeling cramped in your current home is a valid reason to explore what's next.
1. You've Built Significant Equity
If you've owned your home for several years, there's a good chance you've built up substantial equity. This can give you serious buying power for your next chapter.
1. Your Lifestyle Has Changed
Retirement, job relocation, or an empty nest can all signal that your current home no longer fits your needs. When your lifestyle shifts, sometimes your home should too.
The key is recognizing when your home is no longer serving you the way it once did. If any of these resonate with where you are right now, it may be worth having a conversation about your options.
Let us know in the comments if any of these resonate with you!

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 😱⁣ ⁣ Think yo 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 😱⁣
⁣
Think your mortgage payment is locked in? Think again. 🔒⁣
⁣
While your fixed-rate mortgage provides payment stability, the escrowed components—taxes and insurance—aren't so stable. As of December 2025, the average insurance premium for a new policy rose 8.5% year-over-year. Climate disasters, higher rebuilding costs, and insurer risk recalibration continue driving these increases with no signs of reversing.⁣
⁣
Property taxes aren't truly fixed either. The average reached $4,271 in 2024, with many homeowners seeing increases of 16% or more. Even where tax rates stay flat, rising home values keep actual bills climbing—creating the irony that your home's appreciation increases your annual expenses.⁣
⁣
The reality: A homeowner can receive a letter from their mortgage servicer saying their payment is increasing $200-300 because insurance premiums rose and the property was reassessed—without moving, refinancing, or renovating. No action taken, yet annual housing costs just jumped $2,400+.⁣
⁣
💡 Takeaway: When budgeting for homeownership, expect these "fixed" costs to rise. True stability requires planning for volatility.⁣
