Q: How much does a home appraisal cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-home-appraisal-cost.htm">Home and property appraisals cost</a> about <b>$355</b> on average, ranging from <b>$250 to $500</b>, depending on the size of the home and property, age of the property, comparability to nearby homes, and location. While single-family homes typically cost between $300 and $400 to appraise, multi-family home appraisal can cost $500 to $1,000 due to the increased size and building complexity.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a property valuation and an appraisal?

• <div><p>A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert&rsquo;s opinion on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-appraisal-vs-market-value.htm">how much your property will sell for</a>. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you&rsquo;ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.</p></div>

Q: Is market value usually higher than appraised value?

• <div><p>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 &ldquo;seller&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there&rsquo;s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a &ldquo;buyer&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.</p></div>

Q: Can xeriscaping increase your home value?

• <div><p>Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn&rsquo;t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don&rsquo;t like the appearance.</p></div>

Q: What factors do professionals consider in appraisals?

• <div><p>Property condition, comparables, market trends, and location influence appraisal.</p></div>
