Q: Will land ever lose value?

• <div><p>Land doesn&rsquo;t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

Q: Should you ever pay more than the appraised value for a home?

• <div><p>Ideally, you&rsquo;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&rsquo;re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.</p></div>

Q: How much do you lose selling a house as-is?

• <div><p>In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that&rsquo;s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it&rsquo;s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn&rsquo;t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you&rsquo;d spend coordinating the repairs.</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: Do koi ponds increase home value?

• <div><p>A koi pond may add value to your home if it&rsquo;s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they&rsquo;re a popular selling point, and how well they&rsquo;re incorporated into your home&rsquo;s landscape.</p></div>

I am in an area that Angie's List is not established in (Barstow). I left a message looking for an appraiser in that area. Penny does not handle the area I am in. Normally if there is nothing in it for the vendor you never get a call back. Penny called back within minutes and went out of...

Mr. Currlin's evaluation was fair and he seemed knowledgable in the housing market. His fees were reasonable and a bit under his competition. I would use him again in the future.
