"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance. "

"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

Home and property appraisals cost about $355 on average, ranging from $250 to $500, depending on the size of the home and property, age of the property, comparability to nearby homes, and location. While single-family homes typically cost between $300 and $400 to appraise, multi-family home appraisal can cost $500 to $1,000 due to the increased size and building complexity.

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.
