Can a seller negotiate after an appraisal?

• <div><p>In most cases, no, a seller cannot negotiate after an appraisal if they signed an offer agreement. The only exception would be if there was a contingency in the offer that stated that the offer acceptance was contingent on the appraisal amount. If that’s the case, the seller can negotiate a higher sale price to match the appraised amount. If the appraised amount comes in below the sale price, both sides have to agree to negotiate, but there may be no other option since the buyer’s lender might not approve the higher amount.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a land appraisal?

• <div><p>A land survey gives you information about the property boundaries, easements on the plot, dimensions, and, in some cases, topographical information. A land appraisal will often take these figures into account, but the purpose of a land appraisal is to determine the value of the land rather than the physical specifications.</p></div>

Q: Is a conventional loan the same as an FHA loan?

• <div><p>Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.</p></div>

Q: Does a deck add value to a home?

• <div><p>Adding a deck to your home will increase its overall value. Per <a href="https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2023/"><i>Remodeling</i></a><i> </i>magazine's 2023 Cost vs. Value Report, building a deck is a top 15 home improvement task. Installing a wooden deck has an average return on investment (ROI) of 52%, while building a composite deck offers almost 40% ROI. The amount of value a deck adds to your home depends on deck size, type, material, age, and how well you maintain it.</p></div>

Q: Do basement bedrooms count on an appraisal?

• <div><p>Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they&rsquo;re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn&rsquo;t a legal living space won&rsquo;t affect your appraisal value.</p></div>
