Look for comps. That is, similar houses in the area that have sold recently. That'll give you an idea of what the going price is. Of course property conditions and improvements play a role so the more comps you get the better your number.
Check your county recorders office - they may also have online databases - mine does. You can look properties up and get a sales history.
Make sure you're using closed properties as comps. Do Not use houses currently for sale, the list price is almost always significantly higher than the sale price.
