Q: 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&rsquo;ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. </p><p>In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers&rsquo; investments. As such, it isn&rsquo;t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.</p></div>

Q: Do skylights add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, if you maintain and clean your skylights often, they will undoubtedly add value to your home. With the right frame material and glazing material for your climate, a skylight is attractive to buyers because it increases natural light and helps to reduce energy bills. With both aesthetic and monetary bonuses, skylights are a no-brainer for many people.</p></div>

Q: Does wainscoting add value to a home?

• <div><p>Wainscoting isn&rsquo;t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don&rsquo;t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn&rsquo;t result in depreciation of your home&rsquo;s value&mdash;usually the opposite. </p></div>

Q: Can a seller back out if an appraisal is higher than an offer?

• <div><p>If the sales agreement has a clause that allows the seller to renegotiate based on the appraised value, then they might be able to back out if the appraisal comes in higher than your offer price. If the agreement doesn&rsquo;t have that language, then the seller has no legal recourse to back out. They could hold a higher offer as a backup and move onto that one if yours falls through for any reason, but once the agreement is signed, the seller is locked into that purchase price unless there&rsquo;s a clause stating they can renegotiate.</p></div>

Q: What can go wrong when buying a house?

• <div><p>From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. </p><p>A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.</p><p> </p></div>

It was a long process. We started around May with all the removal of the old lawn and then the concrete. The synthetic turf took a while to install because the distributer didn't have what we wanted, and when it was put in the first time, there was a seam (which Evergreen wanted to change- not...
