Free, no-obligation sales valuation from your local Brikk agent

A free, no-obligation sales valuation gives you a concrete figure for what your home can realistically sell for in current market conditions. You also get a sales budget.

A sales valuation is a systematic analysis of your particular home. The official property valuation is mainly used to calculate property tax. It is based on standardised data from BBR (the Danish building register) and general averages. The sales valuation is about what buyers will actually pay for your specific home now. BBR may, for example, record a 180 m² detached house from 1972 without knowing that it was extensively renovated three years ago. An agent’s inspection picks up that difference.

You book the valuation online at no cost and with no obligation. Afterwards, you have a market-based figure and a budget that you can consider in your own time.

What is a sales valuation, and what is it not?

There is no single figure that tells you what your home is worth. In everyday speech, four different figures all get called the price of the home, and confusion arises when they are mixed up.

• The market value is what a buyer would reasonably pay for the home here and now, judged on comparable sales in the area.

• The official property valuation is the authorities’ figure. It is mainly used to calculate property tax and says nothing about what a buyer would pay.

• The lending value is what a bank or mortgage lender will lend you against the security of your home. It is typically below the market value.

• The asking price, the sale price and the net proceeds are three very different figures, all of which get called “what the home went for”.

It is this last group that causes most misunderstandings. The asking price is a strategy. The sale price is the amount a buyer actually paid. The net proceeds are what is left once the outstanding debt, the estate agent’s fee, reports and costs have been deducted. A sales valuation of your home keeps those figures separate instead of lumping them together. That is why the question of what your home is worth deserves a precise answer rather than a round number.

If your sale price is 3.600.000 kr. and your outstanding debt is 2.400.000 kr., you first deduct the outstanding debt. Then the fee and costs of 80.000 kr. and reports of 20.000 kr. come off, leaving net proceeds of 1.100.000 kr. That is considerably less than many homeowners expect when they look at the sale price alone.

So what drives the figure? Location sets the level, and condition decides where you sit within that level. Homes with identical key figures can differ by ±15-25 % on condition alone, so a new kitchen and bathroom can move the valuation noticeably without a single square metre having changed.

Why an estate agent’s valuation beats online calculators and official valuations

The three methods differ in accuracy, and accuracy is what you are really buying.

A valuation from an estate agent comes within ±5-7 % of the final sale price in 80 % of cases. That comes down to what the agent actually compares your home with. The agent looks at sales in the neighbourhood over the last 6-12 months, typically within a radius of 1-2 km. A calculator works with averages, but the agent works with your neighbours’ actual sales.

According to Realkreditrådet (the Danish mortgage lenders’ council), a home valued at 2,2 million kr. may in practice sell for 2,6 million kr. A difference of 400.000 kr. matters when you are planning your next purchase or drawing up a budget.

There is one thing to be aware of, though. The agent has an interest of their own in winning you as a client, so the valuation may be a little optimistic. That is why it can make sense to get more than one valuation. If two valuations are far apart, it is almost always the condition of the home they disagree on.

How a free, no-obligation sales valuation works, step by step

Here is what happens, in order, when you want to have your home valued.

1. It starts with a phone call in which the agent gets an overview of your home and your wishes. There is no obligation and no pressure. The call is about understanding where you stand.

2. The inspection itself takes at least half an hour to an hour, depending on the size of the home. The agent notes the size and layout of the rooms, the light, and the condition of the kitchen, bathrooms and floors, and looks for damp and cracks. The garden, terrace or balcony is looked over, and the same goes for any garage or carport. Photos are taken along the way.

3. The agent compares the on-site inspection with market data. This covers which comparable homes in the area have sold in recent months, at what prices, and how quickly they sold.

4. Finally, the agent presents a sales budget with the expected costs and the estimated net proceeds, so you can see what is actually left after a sale.

A no-obligation valuation does not tie you to anything. You can simply set it aside if the answer does not fit your plans right now. If you are thinking of selling within the next six to twelve months, an early valuation can help you plan when your home should go on the market and what, if anything, needs sorting out first.

The housing market in 2026: why the national average cannot set your asking price

The national price per square metre for houses reached 19.521 kr./m² in the 2nd quarter of 2026. That is the highest level ever and a rise of 9,0 % in a year, but the figure describes an average of thousands of very different sales, which makes it useless as a benchmark for an individual address.

The differences between the regions of Denmark are so large that a national figure simply cannot support an asking price. Gentofte reached 70.117 kr./m² in the 2nd quarter of 2026, the first time above 70.000 kr., while Lolland is the cheapest in the country. Even within a single municipality, the average hides neighbourhoods that can be 30 % apart. A municipal figure is useful as a benchmark, but not as a valuation of your home, because it does not take into account your street, the condition of your home or your neighbours’ actual sales.

There is also a timing problem. The housing market statistics (BM011) look backwards, are compiled quarterly and published with a delay, so you are looking at a market that has already moved on. At the same time, only sales handled by estate agents are counted, while sales within families and sales without an agent are not included at all. That is exactly why a sales valuation of your home is what can set a realistic asking price. It is based on the sales that have actually taken place in your area, and on the specific home you have.
