Ask Susie
What is my Irvine home worth?
Direct answer Your Irvine home's value depends on its village, lot size, school assignment, and recent comparable sales — Irvine's master-planned communities can vary significantly even street to street. Susie McCollom provides a free, no-obligation comparative market analysis using current CRMLS data rather than an automated estimate.
Why Irvine values vary street to street
Irvine is organized into distinct master-planned villages, and two homes with similar square footage can carry very different values depending on which village they sit in, their lot and orientation, and the schools they're assigned to. Newer-construction pockets, view lots, and proximity to parks or community amenities all shift the picture. Because of this variability, a single automated estimate rarely captures what a specific Irvine home would actually sell for today.
How a comparative market analysis works
A comparative market analysis (CMA) looks at recent sales of genuinely comparable homes — same village where possible, similar size, condition, and features — using current CRMLS data rather than a generic algorithm. Susie reviews the specifics of your home, adjusts for the differences that matter, and walks you through the reasoning. You can start with a home valuation request or reach out directly to schedule a walkthrough.

- Is an online home-value estimate accurate for Irvine?
- Automated estimates can be a rough starting point, but they often miss village-level differences, school assignment, lot specifics, and condition — all of which move value in Irvine. A comparative market analysis based on current CRMLS comparables gives a more reliable read for a specific home.
- Does a comparative market analysis cost anything?
- No. Susie McCollom provides a free, no-obligation comparative market analysis. It's meant to give you an honest, current read on your home's likely value whether or not you decide to sell.
- How is a home's school assignment factored in?
- School assignment is one of several factors reviewed alongside comparable sales, village, lot, and condition. Rather than relying on rankings, a CMA reflects how buyers in your specific area have actually valued comparable homes recently.
