Q: What if I can’t find any records of when my house was built?

• <div><p>If you can&rsquo;t find any records online, you&rsquo;ll need to contact your county clerk&rsquo;s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time. </p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How much can I borrow for a home addition?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.</p></div>

Q: How long does an FHA appraisal take?

• <div><p>Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser&rsquo;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&rsquo;s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: Do sellers usually lower their asking price after the appraisal?

• <div><p>In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-home-appraiser.htm">hire another appraiser</a> to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn&rsquo;t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.</p></div>
