Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

No, the appraisal value comes from an appraiser and is a professional opinion of value based on property location and condition, while the market value is determined solely by what buyers are willing to pay for your home. Lenders normally use appraised values to ensure they’re staying within target loan-to-value (LTV) ratios—the market value is simply what the home sells for. Appraised value can sit above or below market value.

A shed that connects to water or electrical services is likely to be assessed for property taxes; however, tax assessments vary around the country. Since every state and local municipality differ regarding property taxes, you should contact your city to determine whether or not you’re required to pay property taxes. Some states consider sheds or detached garages taxable if they have water, sewer, and electricity installed.

The age of the well, installation methods, and maintenance logs can affect your home insurance premiums and any potential future claim. Mortgage companies can request proof of water quality before they approve the loan. Review all well information, including the Shared Well Agreement, before you make an offer to purchase.

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.

Yes, Colonial homes are generally a good investment. Most home buyers who are interested in this style love its simple yet functional interior and charming exterior. Plus, if you keep up with its maintenance, some homebuyers are more willing to purchase a traditional home without the common issues found in older homes.
