"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

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.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

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.
