"Bob McCall went above and beyond during the Christmas Holidays to prepare two (2) appraisals and reports that were on a very short deadline. Mr. McCall is an asset to his profession and to our community. I appreciate Bob's courtesies and willingness to help us at a time when others were getting ready for and celebrating Christmas. Thank you, again, Bob. Clara T."

"John came out to the house & did a thorough inspection measuring the home for correct living SF. They were at the appointment as scheduled, very professional, & answered all my questions/concerns. The appraisal was completed in the specified time. The appraisal came back and was very informative & really helped my confidence in the value of the home, which sold in 10 days within 3 thousand dollars of the ultimate sales price & the appraisal. The appraisal came in higher than I thought & initially had concerns. In the end they were right & kept me from leaving money on the table. I listed the home for sale by owner which I do not think would have went so smoothly without the knowledge of my home obtained through the appraisal I received & I am confident that my home was sold and bought at a fair price. Thanks, M&M"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

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.
