"He was very professional. He had ran over at a previous appointment, but was courteous & let us know ASAP. When he arrived, he introduced himself, explained what he would be doing & got right to work. He started on the roof, went into the attic, basement, crawl spaces, anywhere you could get in the home. He took hundreds of pictures. When he was finished, he went over everything with us. It’s a bit overwhelming, but he seemed more than happy to answer questions & gave thorough explanations. He also writes up a report and emails it to you, as well as giving you the pictures. His pricing was very competitive. I believe the regular price is about $250 & we paid $300 because of the age of the home. My husband built houses for many years & was impressed with his work & the report he gave us about the home. I would definitely use his services again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn’t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.
