Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

If you’re selling a home and the appraisal comes in lower than an offer, you’re effectively getting more for your home than it’s worth. If you’re a buyer, it means you may be overpaying. Some buyers may try to reduce their offer amount to match the appraisal, but if they signed an agreement already at the offer price and the agreement didn’t make the sale contingent on the appraised value, there’s often no option to negotiate. Keep in mind that a low appraisal may push your loan-to-value ratio too high, meaning a lender may not give you a mortgage.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

Ranch-style homes are typically larger and more rectangular than most bungalows' small, square footprints. The floor plans for these two home styles are often different, too, with ranch home bedrooms placed along a hallway off the central living space and bungalows having their bedrooms directly off the main area without hallways.
