Gaithersburg Home Value Guide

What's your Gaithersburg home actually worth right now? Not a Zillow guess, not last year's number. Real value comes from stacking recent comparable sales against your home's condition, checking what's competing with you right now, reading the county's own tax and assessment records, and knowing how Gaithersburg's market is moving month to month. Here's how to work through it.

What Actually Moves Your Number

Five things set your price: condition (updated kitchen and bath vs. original 1985 everything), recent comparable sales within your neighborhood and school zone, what's actively competing with you today, how fast you need to sell, and the objections buyers will raise on a walkthrough. Skip any one of these and you're guessing, not pricing.

Check the Public Record First

Before you trust any online estimate, pull your property's actual record. Maryland SDAT shows your current assessment and property details. Montgomery County's Finance office shows your tax history. Compare both against what you've actually done to the house — additions, renovations, permits pulled — because public records lag behind reality more often than people expect.

How Kevin Prices a Home

Kevin pulls closed comps from the last 90 days first, not 6-month-old data that misses where the market actually is today. He walks the home in person before quoting a number. Every price range he gives a seller comes with the specific comps behind it and the specific reasons — condition, lot, updates — that separate this home from the comps. No inflated number to win the listing, no lowball to guarantee a fast sale. If a client wants the receipts, they get the actual sold data, not a personal opinion dressed up as one.
