A Waterfront Properties real estate agent can show you the recent selling prices of comparable homes. But it does not hurt to look around yourself, just so you both can have a similar starting point. Bear in mind that these are what owners want to get for their houses, not necessarily what they will get. A better method is to look at recent sales prices with a real estate agent. 

You may have to pay capital gains taxes on the profit from the sale of your main home, but only if you make a bundle. Single individuals can keep up to $250,000 of the gain…
