Want to estimate the value of your property? The capitalization rate can you give you a good indication of the appraised value of your property. Once you have your estimated value, you can use it to compare your property’s worth against others. This is especially helpful for those looking to sell their homes as you’ll be able to compare your rate against others in your area. The lower the rate of a given area means a stronger market for selling as the properties in that area will be in high demand.
