Should I skip a home appraisal?

• <div><p>As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. </p><p>In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.</p></div>

Does a gas fireplace add value to your home?

• <div><p>In most cases, converting a wood fireplace to a gas fireplace will increase your home value because they burn cleaner, provide more warmth to your living area, and are far more convenient to use. Thanks to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-fireplace-inserts.htm">gas fireplace inserts</a> that make your fireplace look like it’s full of burning logs, home buyers can still get the aesthetic appeal of a traditional fireplace plus the benefits of a gas fireplace if you make the conversion.</p></div>

Q: Do koi ponds increase home value?

• <div><p>A koi pond may add value to your home if it&rsquo;s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they&rsquo;re a popular selling point, and how well they&rsquo;re incorporated into your home&rsquo;s landscape.</p></div>

Q: Can I get an appraisal for tax purposes?

• <div><p>Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.</p></div>

Q: How do appraisers adjust for a finished basement?

• <div><p>While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location&rsquo;s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. </p></div>
