Customers say: Quick response

"Before I hired Circuit Valuations I had an appraiser come out to assess its value. They were in over their heads and it had the chance to cost me a very important deal and a lot of money. I then hired Circuit Valuations after a colleague recommended them to me. The expertise was night and day. Circuit painstakingly evaluated my property and took into account nuances which the previous appraiser simply couldnâ t understand. The appraisal from Circuit Valuations saved my deal and made me hundreds of thousands of additional proceeds in the deal. I simply will never hire anyone other than Circuit Valuatioms again. They are the best of the best."

"Charlie was great to work with. Most of the time appraisers will get an order to do an appraisal and call you in the next few days. Charlie called right away and we were able to schedule an appointment for the very next day. I really appreciated his timeliness, especially right before a holiday. Within 2 days, the appraisal report was complete! Charlie was also very easy to talk with and listened intently to various items that would accurately reflect the value of the property."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’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.

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.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.
