"Great. Reported late Fri PM. Lone Star Appliance contacted me Monday AM, and came to appt. Tue PM as scheduled. Tech. was knowledge, and professional, advising the process. Choice Home Warranty (CHW) would advise how it would go forward. Wed. PM CHW made a cash settlement offerer. I did not want new unit. Claim manager advised the reason for cash offer was due to no brand name part available. We came to an agreement to replace the dishwasher. I investigated for several days, and new unit ordered yesterday, and being installed tomorrow. The settlement was fair. This is the 3rd appliance CHW has replaced over 5 years and 2 properties. I do and have recommended Choice Home Warranty."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

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.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

Wainscoting isn’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’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite.
