Can I use an appraisal to get homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-inspections.htm">types of home inspections</a> available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about. </p></div>

How much do appraisals cost by home type?

• <div><p>The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:</p><ul><li><p>Single-family homes: $300–$400</p></li><li><p>FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500</p></li><li><p>Condominium: $300–$500</p></li><li><p>Multi-family home: $500–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000</p></li><li><p>Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000</p></li><li><p>Raw land: $1,000–$8,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does the age of my home impact its value?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s a buyer or seller&rsquo;s market. </p></div>

Q: Does home automation increase your property value?

• <div><p>In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner&rsquo;s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a <b>50% and 75%</b> return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner&rsquo;s insurance.</p></div>

Q: Who pays for a home appraisal?

• <div><p>The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You&rsquo;re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.</p></div>

Excellent on every level! David fixed which many before him couldn't. He replaced our old knob with an antique replacement knob since ours was stripped and also adjusted the door so it wouldn't stick. Prompt. Great attitude. Super competent. Would highly recommend.
