Q: What is the difference between a property valuation and an appraisal?

• <div><p>A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert&rsquo;s opinion on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-appraisal-vs-market-value.htm">how much your property will sell for</a>. 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&rsquo;ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.</p></div>

Q: How long does an appraisal take?

• <div><p>The entire appraisal process takes from <b>seven to 10 days</b>. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.</p><p>Home appraisal services include the following tasks:</p><ul><li><p>Inspect home interior and exterior</p></li><li><p>Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations</p></li><li><p>Review comparable properties</p></li><li><p>Write an appraisal report</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is market value usually higher than appraised value?

• <div><p>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 &ldquo;seller&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there&rsquo;s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a &ldquo;buyer&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;ll want to know about. </p></div>

Q: Can xeriscaping increase your home value?

• <div><p>Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn&rsquo;t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don&rsquo;t like the appearance.</p></div>
