Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
