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: Is a scullery worth it?

• <div><p>Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings&mdash;a scullery is likely worth the money. If you&rsquo;re looking for ROI, it&rsquo;s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn&rsquo;t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). </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>

Q: Does board and batten increase home value?

• <div><p>If <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-board-batten-siding.htm">installing board and batten</a> fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn&rsquo;t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home&rsquo;s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home&rsquo;s price won&rsquo;t see a noticeable bump. </p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</p></div>
